Seren - One of my least favorite names. Makes me think of sarin.
Dolly - Cute as an occasional nickname for Dorothy.
Grace - Pretty sound, but too religious for me.
Henry - Love it. My favorite boy name.
Neville - Like it a lot.
Radcliffe - Dislike the sound of it.

Seren - It's nice enough and has a classy feel to it but i'm not blown away by it
Dolly - I know a few people who go by Dolly as a nickname (unrelated to their actual name) and I think that works fine, but don't really see it as a name that should be used as an actual formal first name
Grace - I like Grace as long as it's not in the middle name spot
Henry - very handsome but I'm coming across a lot of them in my local area (UK based)
Neville - sounds like a name for a middle aged man who still lives with his parents and is very dull
Radcliffe - It's the name of a place near where I live, and a friends surname, so I don't really see it as a first name
Dolly - I know a few people who go by Dolly as a nickname (unrelated to their actual name) and I think that works fine, but don't really see it as a name that should be used as an actual formal first name

I like Seren, Grace, Neville, and Radcliffe. :)
Seren feels kind of magical to me, like an elf or fairy.
Grace is one of my favourite names; it's also the name of one of my aunts and my sister's middle name - if I ever have a daughter, she will also have Grace as her middle name.
Neville is just kind of cute for the Harry Potter connection I guess. ;)
Radcliffe I suppose also has a bit of a Harry Potter connection, but I also really like the sound of it.
I don't like Dolly at all as a given name. I don't think I even like it as a nn.
Henry is just kind of dull; I prefer Harry.

The name Henry (hen'ry) also brings to mind English Literature's most famous Hen - The Lady Pertelote!
Of whiche the faireste hewed on hir throte
Was cleped faire damoysele Pertelote.
Curteys she was, discreet, and debonaire,
And compaignable, and bar hyrself so faire
Syn thilke day that she was seven nyght oold
That trewely she hath the herte in hold
As Chanticleer's beloved and opinionated wife - with whom he argued against her criticiques of him, he loved her all the more.

Seren, while not a name I would use, does have a sweet meaning and a sound that isn't unpleasant.
Dolly, what can I say about Dolly? It's actually a bit of a GP for me! I find the sound and retro vibe appealing. I can see the hipsters liking this one before too long, but then I do seem to like names classed as "hipster"!
Grace is beautiful. It's popular for a fn and a mn, but hey, that's because it's so pretty.
Henry is strong, handsome, masculine and timeless. Those qualities appeal to me. It also works on any age imo.
Neville is terrible, sorry. The sound is so harsh and unattractive to my ears.
Radcliffe is a surname and should stay that way imo. Doesn't appeal to me as a fn.

Seren - Not a favorite
Dolly - Love it. I had a 'little monkey lost' when I was a kid, and I brought that with me everywhere for many, many years. Her name was Dolly. :)
Grace - Like it. A bit boring as a middle name, but still a nice name.
Henry - Love it.
Neville - Like it, but will always think of Neville Longbottom
Radcliffe - Daniel Radciffe. :) Better off as a surname

I love Seren, but would never use it. Someone once pointed out how similar it is to sarin and I haven't been able to un-see that. I also love Grace and Henry -- lovely, classic names.
Dolly is too cutesy even as a nickname for me. It's so babyish. Neville is basically a joke name IMO and Radcliffe is 100% surname.

Seren - I like it a lot. I think it's actually a little softer than Sarah, and and a little more unassuming. Plus I think the meaning is nicer.
Dolly - I don't know. I like its quirky retroness but it's just not serious enough. I actually like something like say, Mitzi better because it's less baby-talkish
Grace - really beautiful and I find the concept more appealing than Hope or Faith. I'd consider it if my SO we're really into it, I'm just wary of "Gracie"
Henry - meh. It's sweet on a little kid and an old man but not in between
Neville - handsome in a nerdy way.
Radcliff - I hate all Cliff names. This one is the best but it's still too OTT. There's a local sort of "hillbilly stomp" musician named Radcliff Dean and the name suits him, but now I can't picture it on anyone else.
