Gregory / Gregor - I don't like it. It sounds dated and clunky.
Franklin - I don't like any surnames as first names, and this has the extra insult of containing the ultra-ugly Frank.
Gilbert - Ugly. Sounds socially awkward.
Jediah - Looks invented. Jedediah is better, but sounds redneck to me.
Jeremias - Jeremiah is better, but too much like Jeremy, which I don't care for.
Walter - Dated. Also seems socially awkward.
Julian - I love it! Balances sounding handsome with intelligence, without the sweaty-palmed geekiness of some of the other names.
Milton - Better than Gilbert and Walter. Makes me think of the poet John Milton.
Basil - Handsome but herbaceous. Blaise has a similar sound, without invoking the herb.
Orville - Reminds me immediately of the popcorn, not the Wright brother.
Linus - Sounds anemic and sniveling, like a spoiled child.
Marlin - Merlin is much better.
Maxwell - Appealing enough, but surnames as first names are just nms.
Leopold - Love Leo- names, but I much prefer Leonidas and Lionel.
Emmett - Again, surname. Nms.
Maximilian - I love this name! Max is a timeless nickname.
Thaddeus - I like it, but not as emphatically as Julian or Maximilian.
