Ari doesn't make sense. It's zacha-RYE-a
Ian is too artificial. I address a guy with an -ian name every day and calling him
Ian would be the phoniest thing ever. Like calling a
Brendan "
Dan" or a
Brandon "
Don."
Reno from
Lorenzo makes no sense to me.
Axel from
Maxwell also seems very artificial because
Max is right there
Silver from
Sylvester makes sense to me and isn't too artificial
Alis from
Alister also makes sense
Gene from
Genesis seems artificial, but Gen from
Genesis isn't since the vowel sound matches.
