I like the name Apollo. Not only I like the sound but also I love Apollo missions and 1960s stuff. Plus I think it would be a pretty cool name, unique but also nicknames like Ollie can make it not to different.

I like:Apollo
Bramwell - I cannot believe I kinda like this. I mean, I love Bram, but Bramwell? I don't know what I'm thinking but it's kind of fun.
Rufus - I go back and forth on whether I like this, usually after watching something with Rufus Sewell in it. It's just such a "dog" name though, you know? Like Fido or Buddy.Amana
Cosima - loooove this!
Lira - Reminds me of Lyra, but how I used to say Lyra before I learned the correct way!
What on earth is Illtyd. It's one of the strangest names I've ever seen and that's saying soemthing!

Well, Illtyd is Welsh and I think the problem is with the way it’s written on the computer, where I and L look the same (ILLTYD looks better to me). My favorite ‘weird’ Welsh name is still Ynyr - http://www.behindthename.com/submit/name/ynyr.

Oh, definitely. The font makes it look stranger for sure. Ynyr-- that does definitely take the cake haha.

Apollo: Only if your last name is Creed.
Bramwell: Insufferable.
Colburn: Ditto.
Duane: One of my recurring characters is named Duane. I sure as hell wouldn't use it on a real boy but there's a weird kind of magnetism to it. My mother once had a boyfriend named Duane. He was good-looking as a movie star but a complete jerk, as was his snotty daughter Robyn.
Ezequiel: No.
Horsley: Horsey.
Illtyd: No dice.
Modesto: No.
Rufus: Total redneck name, or a dog's name.
Simba: Only on a cat.
Tarka: Ugly. FEMALE:Amana: Good for a refrigerator.
Cosima: Makes me think of cheap wine.
Lira: Turkish or old Italian money.
Musidora: Not seeing it.
Shoshannah, You could do worse. But you could also do a whole lot better.

I used to have a younger and lovely college biology professor named Cosima. She made the name stand out to me. My brother used to want to name his first child Cosmo so it made me think about Cosima from time to time.Shoshannah I don't like because I associate it with the 17 year old dating Jerry Seinfeld.Instead of Amana I would like Amara. ;)
