I feel kind of like a big nerd publishing this post! I like a lot of names. It's true. But Number Four can only have two of these at the most. And Buffalo Wings has to like the names! There are so many nice names out there. I am obviously very indecisive. I'll post BWs exhaustive list later. His is WAY shorter than mine!

I love names, so I'm glad you posted such a long list.
Here's one that's NOT on your list that I love: Abram. Love it!
It is not on the list but I like Zach / zachary don't know just bored . . . .
I like those names, too, Court and Allie.
Chicken Nugget likes Amil, Bennett, and Rueul.
I mean Reuel. Maybe we should not name him that, if I don't even know how to spell it.
