Rigby - Rigby = The Beatles, Wrigley = gum. Though Wrigley sounds nice too.
Quinton - I like Quincy better on a girl. On a boy it feels a little limp. Not to mention I adore Quentin.
Cadell - Odell is kind of cool in a hipsterish way. But it's still a little to "hillbilly" sounding for my taste. Cadell has less baggage in my mind.
Elam - you're nailing all my favorites ;) Aram is nice too but I know one, and only one, so he's all I'll ever think of. That and I'm just really drawn to any boys name where "E" can be a nickname.
Emery - I like Avery ok too but again, I default to "E" ;)
Callahan - Calloway is all golf club to me (Callaway)
Callahan - Gallagher is all 'Oasis.' Noel Gallagher is quite a character
Evander - I like both. But Everett is the name of HS classmates son so I consider it off limits and my SOs name is Evan Andrew so Evander is an easy like.
Finn - they're both too insubstantial on their own, I think, but Finn is at least sort of handsome. Flynn is thin.... and phlegmy.
Miles - Giles it too, pompous, or something. Plus Milon ("MY-lun") nns has been a love of mine for awhile.
Lachlan - I'm not a huge fan of either, and I tend to like "Link" better than "Lock" but Lachlan feels sturdier to me. Lincoln doesn't feel masculine OR feminine... It's in no mans land.
Quinton - I like Quincy better on a girl. On a boy it feels a little limp. Not to mention I adore Quentin.
Cadell - Odell is kind of cool in a hipsterish way. But it's still a little to "hillbilly" sounding for my taste. Cadell has less baggage in my mind.

Which of each pair do you prefer? (and why, if you wish to share)
Rigby. I have a name crush on Rigby.
Quincy. I'm pretty sure that I'd prefer the sound of Quincy regardless, but I went to school with a Quentin that was the "That kid will have an arrest record by the time he's 14" types. Nothing to do with the name, but he was friends with a kid I later saw on the local news' "most wanted" by the time I was 25.
Cadell. I like hard C names quite a bit. I don't like that many O names.
Elam. No real reason, just prefer the sound.
Emery. The first Avery I knew was a female. The first male Avery I knew turned out to be a pedophile. Yikes.
Callahan. I like the sound. Father Callahan is kinda cool. Calloway/Callaway is golf.
Callahan. Because watermelons.
Everett. Ever is my favorite word based on sound. And I like Ulysses Everett McGill. I don't like Evander Holyfield. And I consitently mistype it as evader.
Finn. Finn is much more awesome than Flynn in every way.
Miles. He's sweet and charming. Giles is prancy and thinks too highly of himself.
Lachlan. Unfair question, though.
Makaio in theory, but I'd probably be more likely to use Mateo irl.
Murdoch or Monroe? Not sure. I don't like either really. I just hear Rupert and Marilyn.
Rigby. I have a name crush on Rigby.
Quincy. I'm pretty sure that I'd prefer the sound of Quincy regardless, but I went to school with a Quentin that was the "That kid will have an arrest record by the time he's 14" types.

Holyfield is soooo sexy. I am not sure to what degree that opinion of mine influences my love of Evander. :-D
