Henry - but I'd still never use it
Ezekiel - used to make me go "ew" but now I think it's kinda cool

Here is my list. It's kind of long. I think my name tastes are changing. Is that even possible?

Alek
Andrew
Angelina
Ashton
Athena
Audrey
Beauregard
Becka
Belle
Calvin
Capri
Chelsea
Conrad

At the moment, Laurence & Walter. I used to not think much of them. Names I felt very "meh, they're OK and I can tolerate them." But now I think I've grow more warmer to them.

Paul
Jasper
Reuben "Ruby"
Nina

Ruth (but only in English, it sounds HORRIBLE in my language, but unfortunetley it is quite common here)
Vera
Astrid
Harriet (again, only in English)
Anna
Vilde

Madeleine is a big one. I used to dislike any name that started with "mad," and I'm still not too keen on Maddy, but I started to like Madeleine after I watched "Twin Peaks" for the first time (Maddy's full name is Madeleine Ferguson, and that's how she introduces herself). It seemed like a sophisticated name for a very nice person.

---

I would still much more likely use it as a middle name rather than a first name, to avoid Maddy. Barbara is another name I've started to like - the full version - though I still don't like any of the nicknames.

For boys, Jesse is a very recent addition to my Top 10. It does feel slightly dated (I blame "Full House"), but I do love the sound.

---

I have also been getting into some more Arabic/Hebrew/Indian/"Maghrebi"/Persian names (particularly feminine ones), like:
