Dominic, Elliot, Gabriel, Raphael, Spencer, Garett, Zachary (the K looks really tacky and his name will be "misspelled" to the Zachary by everyone his entirely life that way seeing as it's...well, misspelled) are okay.

Ryker?! like Rikers? THE PRISON?!

Wesley is okay, Westly is awful.

Xander is just a nickname -- if you really like it, why not go with Alexander and call him Xander. That way if he gets sick of being Xander #5 in his class, he can fall back on Alex or Alexander?

Maddox is an alright name but I'd stay away from it.

Rohan, Strider, Linkin, Dexter, Warrick are awful. Can you really imagine a 25 year old MAN named STRIDER? Dr Strider Johnson. Hm. No.

I didn't say he would. I say a 25 year old man.

Then I put doctor in front of his name to further emphasis that it was ridiculous.

P.S. I was with a doctor once, he was 24 and graudating med school -- he started uni at 15. It IS possible.

My roommate has a puppy named Strider. So to me, Strider is a puppy name. To be "clever", I call him Strider Rong like the opposite of Rider Strong of Boy Meets World.

I KNEW I RECOGNISED THAT NAME FROM SOMEWHERE!

*giggles* I remember even then going "Are you kidding me?"
