Overall I like your lists a lot.
Favorites:
Aidan
Alexander
Asher
Benjamin
Evander
Leo
Liam (not with a brother named Leo, but you probably knew that :p)
Luka
Micah
Michael
Mihai (unusable up front in English IMO but I really like the sound)
Adelaide
Adele
Asha if it's AH-sha (not like the word "ash")
Elodie
Emmeline with a -line ending
Genevieve
Iris
Jasmine
Lydia
Maeve
Rose
Seren (wouldn't use it, though, as it's a bit close to sarin)
Least favorites:
Antero
Arlo
Caelan --I know it's a perfectly legitimate name but it looks like a tryndee variant of Cayden
Conrad
Ishmael
Niko as a given name (love it as a nickname)
Quinn
Sorin (like Soren, though)
Theo (see Niko)
Tristan
Xander (see Niko)
Alouette
Andy (fine as a nickname)
Arwen
Anya (see Niko)
Avalon
Avery
Eleri
Elspeth
Enya
Lavender (it's a guilty pleasure of mine, but on a real person? nope)
Louise
Luna
Mai
Mali (apparently it's a legit name but all I can think of is the African country)
Marigold (see Lavender)
Sariah
Shiloh
Sine
Siofra
Suri
Tanith
The rest I could take or leave.

Liam - yeahh, I knew that xD
Mihai - wondering why it's unusable up front in English?
Asha - I say it AH-sha :)
Seren - woa never connected this with sarin o_o I wasn't gonna use it cos it sounds so much like Sarah you'd have to correct people all the time.
Niko (and Anya, Xander, Theo) - I like short names as first names mostly so I'm always liking nicknames. But I agree that it's not to best idea to use them which is why I like Enya over Anya. Theo and Xander I couldn't use anyway, not with a Leo Alexander already ;)
Lavender and Marigold - these are guilty pleasures for me too! I wouldn't use 'em except maybe maybe in the middle.
Mali - I just learned about the country just recently but I still can't stop liking the name.
Thanks for commenting ^_^

Actually, We considered using Seren (seriously).
I had a friend in school named Seren and no one ever commented on it's similarity to Sarah or sarin. I heard the reference a lot when were testing out names to friends, but I think that the average person wouldn't make the connection.
Adore Lavender and Marigold. Shot down by DH, but I secretly think they are usable. Especially if you are a Roald Dahl fan (character in Matilda)

Mihai is completely unfamiliar where I am. Nobody's ever heard of it and pronunciation/spelling would be a pain in the neck.
If I lived in Romania it might go on my list, though!

That makes sense. Thank you :)
