So. At first, it was supposed to be a top 10 but I've made a lot of all my favorites male characters and there's like more than 70 names. I couldn't choose only 10 or 20 so I thought a top 30 must be a better idea. I know a few of you will hate some of my choices (sorry ;D), but I hope you will enjoy it! :D
