    Archer--I like this name but am not in love with it. However, as occupational names go, I think it is a cute one!
    Cohen--I do adore this name, but there seems to be a lot of controversy about using it, something having to do with offending the Jewish?
    Ezra--I once worked with a little boy named Ezra. For some reason, even though I knew a boy with this name, it still always seems feminine in nature to me!
    Miles--One of my tops as well! I used to nanny for a baby Miles, and have loved the name ever since.
    Cyrus--This name reminds me of my boyfriend's parents former dog who was named Cyrus.
    Luther--I don't see this one often. It reminds me of the name Lucifer I think, and seems sort of 'evil' to me because of the similar sound between the 2 names, I suppose.
    Calvin--It doesn't thrill me. It's all right, I think Cal or Vin/Vinnie are pretty cute nn's.
    Graham--This name also reminds me of an animal; a Thoroughbred horse named Graham that my trainer rescued from a horrible environment.
    Lincoln--LOVE!!! I also adore the nn 'Linc'.
    Vaughn--My mind just says 'Vince', as in the actor Vince Vaughn.
    In current favor of...:
    Boys: Abel, Ian, Eamon
    Girls: Mary, Lena, Marin

    Archer - Like it but prefer Ari or Arthur.
    Cohen - This is not a name I think anyone should use as a given name. It has a pleasant sound but its the same sort of sound of Rowan/Ronan/Linden/Lincoln and none of those are religiously offensive. Also it became trendy as a FN via the O.C. and it will date.
    Ezra - I love this. I don't think it is feminine name at all but I'm used to it.
    Miles - Love this too.
    Cyrus - Love this, can't convince husband to go for it.
    Luther - Not a big fan.
    Calvin - Like it, but prefer Callum or Colin. Cal is a nice nickname though.
    Graham - Dislike, but I know some dreadful Grahams.
    Lincoln - Pleasant enough, I am not keen on the NN Link though.
    Vaughn - Like, but prefer Vasili/Victor/Vincent.

    Archer - I like it, but much prefer Asher, personally.
    Cohen - I really love the sound and look of Cohen, but as @stripedsocks mentioned, Cohen is quite religiously offensive, and I know and respect too many Jews to ever use it.
    Ezra - love! It's a MN on my own list.
    Miles - I've come to respect it, and even sort of like it, but I don't love it. I like Milo so much more, but Miles could be nice as a MN. I like the idea of Everett Miles or something.
    Cyrus - like a lot! I prefer it as a MN, but it could be a great FN, too.
    Luther - I sort of like it because of its jazzy feel, and I love that it reminds me of Martin Luther and Martin Luther King, Jr., and I think the nn Luke would be fun, but there's something about it I just don't love...
    Calvin - adore! I love it so much more than the similar Callum, Callan, Colin, etc. It's so quirky and classic. I love meeting Calvins!
    Graham - I like it a lot, but I don't love it.
    Lincoln - love. It keeps coming back to me, but I never add it to my list, haha. There's just not room. But I do really love it. Abraham Lincoln is one of my favorite historical figures ever, so I'd love to use this in honor of him someday. I like that the "L" initial could honor my grandpa, too.
    Vaughn - I want to like it, but something holds me back. The only Vaughn I've met didn't leave a particularly great impression on me, but Alias's Michael Vaughn was pretty awesome, haha.

    Ezra and Calvin are my favorites! I would love to see something like Calvin Ezra or Ezra Calvin, even.

    Good luck!

    Archer -- I like it. It's cool and Archie is cute
    Cohen -- I've been hearing on here a lot about how it's possibly religiously offensive to Jewish people. Coen has virtually the same sound.
    Ezra -- NMS but it's not bad
    Miles -- Love this one. Handsome and mellow sounding
    Cyrus -- LOVE Cy is a great nn and I just love this name
    Luther -- Love Luther too, handsome, but I prefer Lex
    Calvin -- I think of Calvin and Hobbes and it's nms
    Graham -- Love this one. Very nice and soft, but handsome
    Lincoln -- I've never understood the appeal of this one, but I do love Link
    Vaughn -- Love Vaughn too! My husband says though, that it makes you sound like German royalty or something as in "Von LastName" I still like it though ^_^

    Archer - My favorite! But I'm partial as it's my sons
    Cohen - I don't like the sound of it in general
    Ezra - Like and have met some very cute Ezra's!
    Miles - Love but couldn't use
    Cyrus - Too Billie Ray in my mind
    Luther - My family is Lutheran so this would be an odd choice since I don't attend regularly, but cute
    Calvin - LOVE! But Hubby says Archer "Archie" and Calvin is too comic book obsessed (I didn't even know haha)
    Graham - Adorable! One of my favorite on your life
    Lincoln - Very cute! But popular in my area
    Vaughn - Love it! But doesn't work well with my ln

    Archer-a bit trendy for my taste, in the vein of Mason and Taylor
    Cohen-not my favorite...sounds too much like a last name
    Ezra-cute, but somehow doesn't roll of the tongue? Are there nicknames?
    Miles-one of my favorites of this list. I also like Milo
    Cyrus-Miley and Billy Rae ruin it for me...
    Luther-makes me immediately think of Lex or Lutherans
    Calvin-on my list, too. Like it a lot, but everyone thinks of Hobbes. The meaning (bald) isn't great
    Graham-sophisticated and masculine, but a little hard to say
    Lincoln-not bad
    Vaughn-For some reason doesn't sound classy to me-Vince issues, maybe?
