Vincent. Quincy has never sounded like a name to me, but more like a description of something made with a lot of quinces.Byron. Bram also doesn't sound like a name to me.Bennett, because I love it, and Benedict nn Bennett is way too OTT.Bennett, because I love it. Benedict is nice too. Byron is pretentious and snobby. Bram is someone with a strong accent saying broom. Jasper because it's handsome and makes me think of Canada. Kasper is fine too.Hadley, because I think it'd be spunky on a boy and it has my favorite sound of the three. Harper I really dislike because it makes me think of harpies and someone harping on about something, although I do prefer it on a boy, where as hector makes me think of heckling.

Vincent. I love Vincent. It's dashing, broody and a little bit dorky, but in a good way. I get more of a Vincent Price than a Vincent van Gogh vibe from the name, but that's just me.Bram. Bram is strong and stoic. Byron's a little bit wimpy and dorky in a not-so-positive way.Benedict. I'm not sold on Bennett, but it's made better by being a nickname that one can opt to use or not to use. I quite like Benedict.Both. I love Jasper, but if you're not sold on Casper, Kasper's a nice choice. It doesn't look as nice in my opinion, but it still has the cool sound. Ehhhh... Harper? Maybe? Hector's the only masculine seeming name in the bunch and I can't stand it. Hadley is too firmly surname-turned-girls'-name. So Harper it has to be, not that I like it - surname vibe, girls'-name vibe and 'to harp on' to name but a few reasons.

Quincey - Long-time favorite of mine! I'm always hesitant with Vincent because, while I like it and the nn Vince, I despise Vinnie.Byron - I like both. They have nice literary feels to them. I'm going with Byron today because I like the idea of a Byron "Ron/Ronny." Wonderful alternative to Ronald.Benedict - Lovely name that I find much more attractive than Bennett (nothing wrong with Bennett, I just don't think it has the same class and charm as Benedict).Benedict - Lo siento, Byron. :(Kasper - I just love that Polish pronunciation. Kaspar, however, would make me swoon uncontrollably. Jasper I like, but it's the name of a family dog so it's hard for me to see it on a person.Hector - HectorHectorHector, a thousand times Hector. Love this name to death.

Vincent. I don't particularly like it, but I think Quincey is pretty bad. Nickname Vince would be okay, but definitely not Vinnie.
Byron. Bram brings back some terrible memories.Benedict "Bennett".Benedict. But Byron is a close second.Kasper, without a doubt.Hector. It's growing on me.

Vincent. Who doesn't want a Vinny in the family? Just sayin'.Bram - way cooler. Benedict - if you're heading there, just go all the way. ;)Ooooh, tough one. Jasper I guess. It's a bit quirkier, and I always read Kasper as Kasperl for some reason. Hector is the coolest. Hadley is kinda unique though too.

Vincent, because Quincy sounds like a ninny.
Byron, because Bram is too dramatic for the everyday, at least for me. Don't think I could call him that with a straight face.
Bennett, because I don't think of Cumberbatch, I think of Arnold.
Bennett wins out of all of these, hands down.
Jasper, because Casper/Kasper is comical.
Hadley, just cuz.
