Elijah Christian: It's okay. It's a bit heavy on the religiousness but not as bad as it could be.
Kayden Michael: It's okay. Not fond of Kayden, but I do love Michael.George Christopher: George is a nice friendly name, and it's more interesting than Christopher. So the combo is good.William Matthew: I have slowly come to ... not dislike, exactly ... William, because I am so sick of hearing people around here say it WEE-Yum. And I hate Matthew with a fiery purple passion. Alexander Ryan: Alexander feels prissy and pompous. And I hate Ryan as much as I hate Matthew. Alex Ryan would be better.Josiah Gabriel: I like it too, but it has kind of the same Pilgrim-esque vibe as Elijah Christian.Dakota John He sounds like an outlaw. Dakota John meets Black Bart and the Sundance Kid.Valentino Armani: Gag me. He sounds like a gigolo. Probably was born Ronald Schenkenfielder or something and changed it to honor designers whose clothes he still can't afford.Zachary Levi: Really dislike Zachary, but really like Levi.Elliot Jacob: Blah.

Elijah Christian — seems very evangelical to me. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course, but the religious background is the first thing I notice about the name. Kayden Michael — too close to my name, can’t comment on it.George Christopher — love it! It’s a handsome classic combo that is less common than you’d think. William Matthew — basically the same as George Christopher, but the flow isn’t as good. Alexander Ryan — modern but still somewhat timeless, good flow, good meaning.Josiah Gabriel — too many syllables for an FN/MN combo, imho. All the S and R sounds makes it awkward to pronounce. Dakota John — really can’t see Dakota as a name, especially for someone without Native ancestry. The Dakota are an indigenous people group from central North America.Valentino Armani — beautiful Italian name, but maybe not the most practical for an Snglish-speaking country.Zachary Levi — somewhat dated combo, but still nice. The meaning is positive.Elliot Jacob — very modern combo. Both of the names have been around for a while but they’ve never been more popular than now, making this combo sound very current.

Elijah Christian - dislike Elijah in his sandals and homemade robe; and not being a Christian, I would never use Christian!Kayden Michael - Kayden is trite and probably unisex; Michael is excellent.George Christopher - both good; I prefer the flow of Christopher George (but I wouldn't use Christopher either).William Matthew - love William and would use it in a heartbeat. Matthew puts me to sleep.Alexander Ryan - Alexander is better than its nns, but too long for everyday use; and Ryan is dated and dull. Alec Brian?Josiah Gabriel - another old man in robe and sandals, and a senior angel. Dakota John - at least I like John! Dakota means nothing to me as a place, so I think of the aircraft.Valentino Armani - no context; no comment.Zachary Levi - Zach is so pretty-boy macho, it's funny. And Levi is blue denim with studs.Elliot Jacob - Jacob has been too well-used for too long, and what does Elliot shorten to? Ellie? Not the best.
