I'd name my son Lawrence in heartbeat! But I'm very surprised to see it, and the other names, on the list. I expected more common and timeless names like James and Jack.

The only one I'd like enough to use is Robin.

Probably not; I don't generally rate names.
I don't love/hate any, but if I were naming a kid from this list today, I'd most likely pick Felix (it seems well-rounded to me). At first, I thought Lawrence, but I don't like that spelling, and sometimes it seems too staid. I'd order them...
1. Felix
2. Emrys, Aurelius, Lawrence
3. Ezra, Robin, Mariano
4. Nico, Orion, Amir, Edmund, Lucien
5. Cyrus, Ren, Alessio, Elliot
6. Ambrose, Aster, Federico, August
I'd probably pick Felix Ezra or Felix Mariano for a combo.
Emrys Robin or Aurelius Nico or Lawrence Orion might be ok.
Ambrose Federico or Aster Elliot or Ren Alessio seem like maybe interesting people to meet, but I'd just be less likely to use those than some others.

Oh wow, Felix wasn’t on the list yesterday! It’s cool to see how the names change with news votes. Love your taste in names

Favorites are Alessio, Lucien, and Robin. If I had to pick one it would be Lucien. Close behind are Nico, Elliot, and Aster. I'm mostly neutral about the rest

What an interesting list. I'm surprised by a lot of them!
Ambrose is my favourite of the bunch. I've loved it for a long time.

-My favorites are: Alessio, Nico, Orion, Robin, Aurelius, Lucien, Lucian, and Emrys. I would use Nico, Emrys, and possibly Robin and Lucian or Lucien on a real baby. (I'm not against using Aurelius, Orion, and Alessio either but those would be middle names for me.)
-I also like most of these names and I'm not surprised they're popular here: August, Cyrus (but prefer Cyprus), Ambrose, Ezra, Felix, Elliot (I didn't know which version would be most popular but I think I agree with the popular opinion here-- double L and single T)
-I'm surprised Federico is #1, I feel like I never see people mention it.
-Aster surprises me, I thought it was more popular for girls.
-I'm also surprised at these because I don't see them in the forums much: Mariano, Lawrence (well, maybe I've seen this around. I prefer Laurence anyway), Ren, Amir. I like Ren but more as a nickname. Also like Amir but I almost never see it mentioned.
-Both Mariano and Federico seem overshadowed by the female versions. I think I see people mention Mariana and Federica on the forums but not Mariano and Federico.
-My least favorite is probably Felix or Lawrence, or maybe Mariano, but I don't really dislike any of them.

I think it's notable that Federico barely had the minimum of 50 responses. I'd consider the ones with over 300 (Elliot, August, Ezra) or over 500 (Robin, Felix) as actually the most well-liked on the list, since they're all within 2 percent anyway.
