I like:

---

Casper
Chandler
Clark

I live Casper, Caspian (Narnia!), and Cassius. I think Caslav and Cyde are interesting. I don't like Cassidy on boys, because I've only seen it on girls!

---

I've already mentioned that I think Cecil is an old-manish name, but I can see why people like it. I like Cedric, think Cerulean should stick to being a color name, and I like Chandler.

---

Charles is a favorite of mine, and I also like Chase, Chris, Christian, Christopher, Cian, and Ciarán. Chauncey reminds me of a really annoying kid from middle school. Chiron is a lot of fun, but I don't think it works on a real kid.

---

I like Clark, Claudio, Cody, Cole, Colin, and Colton. Clayton sounds like a last name, and Clay sounds kinda old-western.

---

Colum....I wonder where that name came from. I like the variations of Conner, Conrad, and Cory.

I love Casper, Clark, and Conrad - they have a ton of personality. Claudio and Corbin (makes me think of Corwin from the Chronicles of Amber) are cool too. I like Constantine in full, but in my head it automatically shortens to Kosta, which is also fine but takes away the richness and magic of the full name. If that makes sense.

Other points of interest: Cohen is very very surnamey. Not only that, but it is a surname that carries all sorts of religious meanings to this day, so it feels really weird as a first name. I like the sound of Cassidy, but on a girl, probably because it turns into Cassie so easily. Chansey is a Pokemon.

I feel like I can't appreciate a few of the names here because I lack the cultural context, for example Cord, Chakotay (I'd never have guessed this was from Star Trek of all things), Cayukatee and Caslav (which is very cool, now that I've looked it up). Much of what makes a name interesting is its history and familiarity, so putting up a lot of familiar names along with a few unfamiliar names without any context is a little jarring, and I have a hard time thinking about them constructively. This is not against your post (which has caused me to discover a couple of interesting names- thanks!), it's just an interesting phenomenon...

Cavin is kind of nice. Except it sounds like Kevin being mispronouned. And looks like cave-in. But I still like it, somehow.
Cayman I like. Caeman? Hm. Nope, Cayman is better. Yup, Cayman.
I enjoy Cohen a lot. But I got flack last time I posted about him. Granted, I learned some things.
Colum sounds like "Call him" and looks like "Colostrum". LOL.
I kind of like Conlan even if it feels weird on my tongue.
I used to love Cooper. Now it feels a bit teenage-mom.
Corbin is nice.
Cord seems like the parents were just looking about the delivery room for ideas.
