I still can't get behind Vivian as a male name, though. Sorry. :-(

I like Ginevra.
And I spend a lot of time thinking about Oenone and how / whether I could use it. Ultimately I conclude it gives me the same vibes as Iolanthe, but it's more out there, and I asked my mother if she'd mind if I named any future daughter Iolanthe... after she struggled to say it, after coaching her, she said 'never do that to your daughter' :(. Same vibes. So neat, but -could- I? I'm pretty sure I saw one in real life not too long ago, it was something like Oenone, so may it's more useable than I think.
Ianthe is neat, probably better than Iolanthe, but I prefer Iolanthe's clunkiness.
Sophonisba is weird and clunky and esoteric, I do like all that.
Zinnia is just sparkly and eye catching. It's just so attention-grabbing.

Love Arkady.
Sufyan is also neat.
Anselm is nice in a solemn, studious way.

Hah, love it. I always get ideas from you!

Today it's Éleuthère. Love it!

There was a boy a few years ahead of me in school who pretty much everyone had a crush on, he was tall, athletic and got a place to study medicine at Oxford. I haven't heard the name in years, it's very handsome and fitted him well.
