Current Long List For Boys: First Names and Combos - Opinions?
I don't spend enough time on boy names honestly, I think because I have a specific vibe and energy I like in them unlike the girls' names, which tend to have more variation in vibe and style. For boys, I tend to like kind of romantic, storybook type-names. (or at least one I consider that category). Often, names I imagine on a prince from an old story overall. Anyways, so I have been toying with more combos from my long list lately and I'm quite liking this current lineup. Which do you like? Which do you recommend removing? Any strong opinions one way or the other? Any other combos come to mind you think I should add? Thank you! I might add the girls' list later but wanted to focus on just the boys for now.

Sorry but most of these sound like fantasy-fanfic names, and not real-people names.
Adrian: It's okay but only just okay.
Alaric: Too fanficky.
Alastair: Only if you're an elderly Brit. Kind of stereotypical.
Alby: Al B. Sure? Actualy it sounds like something people with albinism would call themselves, like Aspy or Little People.
Algernon: Take twice a day for seasonal allergies.
Alphonse: And his friend Gaston, strolling down the boulevard arm in arm, wearing striped shirts and berets and possibly carrying baguettes. Too cliche. I do like Alfonso.
Amraphel: No idea what this is even supposed to be.
Ambrose: A friend knows one, but his Ambrose goes by his mn which is Eric, and has always hated Ambrose.
Andreas: Not really but I like both Andre and Andrew.
Antony: Put the h back where you found and leave it there and it's a great name.
Apollo: Maybe for a dog.
Aramis: Afterhsave.
Arlo: Kind of nice, in a very country way, but now I suspect it's urban/suburban hipsters using it.
Artemas: It's still a goddess no matter what vowel you use.
Asher: Gesundheit!
Asterion: It sounds like a health insurance company.
Astrophel: Very Harry Potter sounding.
Atticus: *yawn*
Azriel: I know one Azriel. He was a black cat someone had. I was told Azriel was an angel of death someplace.
Barrow: Wheelbarrow. Or Clyde Barrow of Bonnie and Clyde fame.
Basil: Possibly the most sterotypically posh old British you can get. Can't take it seriously.
Bastian: Fanficky.
Benedict: Eggs or popes.
Bram: Kind of like onomatopoeia for a growling collision.
Bramwell: If you do it really well it's a bram-well.
Bran: Like Fiber.
Branimir: Slavic for fiber?
Branwell: Truly this is a great name for a tasteless cereal targeted at old people with constipation.
Callum: And this sounds like lotion to put on your calluses.
Casimir: Russian villain.
Casper: A friendly ghost. I have also more than once heard black people use this as an insult toward lighter-skinned black people or whites.
Caspian: Fanfic.
Castor: Castor oil. Ick.
Adrian: It's okay but only just okay.
Alaric: Too fanficky.
