Re: The boys...

Peter - I like Peter. I don't think it's boring but I might be surprised to see it with Myrtle.
Percy - Percy is kind of Geeky, though it fits well with Myrtle. You realise you'd have two Harry Potter characters though?
Vance - I've never heard this before. I like it! It's cool and goes well with Myrtle.
Gabriel - one of my favs ^_^
Alan - I dunno about common, but it's certainly usual and unsurprising. Like Peter, I wouldn't expect it with a Myrtle.
Ambrose - I never know what to think of Ambrose. I only ever come across it in books where it always fits in with the setting... but I kind of thing any Ambrose would be look out of place wherever he went. Unless he was an actor. You seem to get away with anything name-wise if you're an actor.
Clement - ugh. I really don't like virtue names. All I hear is that guy from Pirates of the Caribbean saying "I have granted you clemency" or whatever it is he says.
Constant - ditto above. Virtue name.
Eben - weird. This one looks like a typo of Eden to me. And it sounds like someone with a bad cold saying "even".
Hosea - I totally thought this said Horsea. And I was like, a Pokemon name???? Hosea is unusual and might have pronunciation issues. I'd probably get used to it, but at the moment I don't like it much.
Moses - Myrtle and Moses? Hmmm. I don't dislike it, but I think other names work better.
Virgil - oh gosh, Virgil. Myrtle and Virgil ALMOST rhyme. It's too close to comfort for me.

Well, you're not missing out on much to be honest :p
But I think people might assume you'd chosen them both because of HP. And it might get annoying to always have to say you didn't.
