Thoughts on these Uncommon male names?

Thoughts on these uncommon male names?
Name collecting and certainly sorting through the potentials. I like common names but also unique, uncommon and international names. The majority of these names are very uncommon (at least in the states) but all are legit names from around the world. Your input? Any one not worth it? 1: Aeson: E-sin. Like Liam Neeson's surname w/out the N
2: Amarlic: uh-mall-rick
3: Cainan: cay-nin. Though may be too close to 'cain-nine' meaining dog/:
4:Calix: cay-lix. Do like it but its close to the name 'felix' which I'm not too crazy for /: though callix is significantly better in my book
5: Claud
6:Davin: simular to the surname 'Davinport/davenport' but w/out the port
7:Delroy
8:Fabrizio: fuh-brits- z-oh. Yes the Italian guy from the Titanic (:
9: Farran: fair-en
10:Garth
11: Havel: hay-vel. Basically the male version of 'Hazel'
12: Ignas: ig-nas.
13: Kazimir: kaz-eh-meer
14: Lamont
15: Peterri: puh-ter-e. Pro may be slighty off. Finish form of 'peter'
16: Ramiro
17: Ravi: rah-vee
18: Sandro
19:Staas:stahs. Dutch name
20:Tafari: rhymes with safari. African name
21: Tiras: tie-res simular to 'Silas'
22: Zaid
23:Zef Sorry if it may be alot. Which ones are worth it and which ones should I discard. I'm iffy on some of them. YOU DONT HAVE TO COMMENT ON EACH ONE BUT TELL ME YOUR LIKES/FAVS AND DISLIKES (:

1: Aeson - I think it looks horrible. I don't like that the pronunciation doesn't make sense with the spelling.
2: Amarlic: Dude, that's kind of cool. That's a type-o though, right? Amalric, you mean? I like Emeric and Alaric, so this fits the bill.
3: Cainan: Then I'd spell it Caanan. So then it's only a good name if you are okay with Biblical associations.
4:Calix: Callix yes, Calix no
5: Claud - awesome!
6:Davin: That pronunciation makes sense because of Gavin. But I feel like at least half the people would say it DAY-vin because of the bajillion names with the long 'a' sound. And because of David. Maybe you would like Tavis?
7:Delroy - awesome. I enjoy 'del' names. Odell. Cadell. Quidel. And 'roy's too. Conroy.
8:Fabrizio: Overkill.
9: Farran: Isn't that a girl name? Sounds feminine to me.
10:Garth - meh, not very interesting
11: Havel: doesn't sound good. Looks like 'hovel'
12: Ignas: Girl name Agnes got worse and looks like 'iguana'
17: Ravi: Makes a great nickname. Not bad as a full name
20:Tafari: very cool!
21: Tiras: Like it. Not intuitive to pronounce, but I like it.
23:Zef - great nickname

Havel- I'd say 'hovel', since that's the last name of a Czech writer, and it's pronounced closer to hovel than Hazel with a v instead of a z.

My favorites 100% are Calix, Cainan, and Kazimir. They sound very cool and modern but I think Cainan works best for any age.
