HelpThoughts on these names?
Just some random names I've been thinking about, mostly surnames as first names. What are your thoughts?
Cooper
Sawyer- loved this till I realized it sounds exactly the same as "soya" in my accent
Fletcher
Campbell
Everett- I really want to love this one, but I had a teacher in school with this last name and I can't shake the last name feel
Lawson
Lincoln
Harris- I've asked about this before but I thought I'd throw it in again. Better or worse than Harrison?
Hudson
Also a bonus question:
What are your thoughts on the combo Esme Elodie? Too much e'' going on or does it work?

Oooo, your list is making me excited!! Pardon the gushing.
Cooper - I loved this 10 years ago and still find it fun and lively.
Sawyer- Also very nice.
Fletcher - fletch makes me think of things like phlegm and wretch and I just can't get past that.
Campbell - LOVE this so much. I pushed for a Campbell with my third son. No luck. Have you ever considered Camden, Cameron, Carmen, Cormac, Callum, Callahan, or Calloway?
Everett- As someone who is quite drawn to last names as first names on boys, I have no trouble with Everett at all. Have you considered Emmett, Elliott, Evan or Evander?
Lawson - Yup, another good one. Have you considered Landon, Lachlan, Larkin, Layton, Leyton, Lennon, Leon, Linden, Logan, Lorcan, London, or Lucan?
Lincoln - My husband and I found Lachlan, because I loved Lincoln and he didn't, so we were searching for something along the same lines in terms of sound.
Harris- I think Harris is better than Harrison, because it's less uppity and more unexpected. Have you considered Morris and Morrison?
Hudson - Love it. We have a polar bear in our zoo named Hudson. Handsome and huggable!
"Sorry" for all my suggestions, I realize you didn't ask for them...

Cooper: It's chipper and just trendy enough without being obnoxious, but I still don't like it. The sound of it is just... off .
Sawyer: Passable.
Fletcher: Fletch Lives.
Campbell: Soup.
Everett: I really like Everett; it's soft, yet masculine. I would use it.
Lawson: Too surname-y for me. I prefer Dawson.
Lincoln: Becoming more popular. It's nice, but not very personal. IDK.
Harris: I think it works better for a girl.
Hudson: Toad-like and ugly. Muddy. No.
I hate Esme Elodie. Too syrupy sweet.

Everett is the name of a city near where I live. It seems less surnamey to me than most of the other names on your list.
Lincoln is kind of cool. I sort of like the idea of nn Linc.
The rest are nms. If I had to rank them:
Fletcher
Campbell
Hudson
Harris
Lawson
Cooper
I think Harris is about the same as Harrison, neither better nor worse. It seems a little sportier, maybe.
Esme Elodie: the E does not bother me, but the flow in general is a little prickly.
