I took the name literally and was looking for something long and weird. Now that I know the meaning of funky-clunky, I still cannot say how I feel. Funky-clunky is too broad because some of the names listed are very different from the others. Generally, I am not fond of most old-fashioned names. I just think they sound unattractive, like Amos, Blythe, Humphrey or Hester. But the "uber-cool" category as in "modern-ish" would be something like Colin, Rowena, Gideon or Bryn. "Uber-cool" as in "Victorian antagonistic character" would be something like Clayton, Clement, Clinton, Thomasina or Thirza. I like Colin and Clayton, but that would be all from the examples that I gave. It would take too long to list every name I liked. Hopefully, this better answers your question:

---

I love Winston and Octavian, but paired them up as such:
Cyrus and Colin
Valentine and Winston
Raymond and Geoffrey
Montgomery and Octavian

---

Honorable mentions that didn't make the final cut: Roy (love this one), Lloyd and Roland (like these two)

---

I love all of these names except for Christine, pairing them up as such:
Celia and Christine
Pauline and Wendy
Isadora and Araminta
Lavinia and Zelda

---

Honorable mentions that didn't make the final cut: Theodora, Betty, Dorothea (love all three)
