Need a boy's name for second child

Hello! My name is Natalie and currently 24 weeks pregnant. DH and I expecting our second child and we know it’s a boy. We have a 4 year old daughter, Morgan Elizabeth. We need help with boy names. We had a very difficult time choosing names for our first child since my DH always relates the name to someone that he knows. Since we know this baby is a boy I thought it was going to be easier but it hasn’t been. We both want a name that is not common or traditional (i.e David, Mark, Charles) but don’t want anything that is too unique either. Our last name is Gunn so we need advice on what goes well with it and do we use 1 or 2 syllable names.

Here are some first names that we have come up with so far:

Carson - favorite so far
Sean
Nathan
Parker
Seth
Garett
Landon
Blaine
Brayden
Alec
Aaron

Some middle names are:

Patrick
Tyler
Matthew
Ryley
Reid

Any suggestions/comments on any of the above names or names that go with our last name is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
-Natalie

OK, a brother to Morgan Gunn:

Here are some first names that we have come up with so far:

Carson - I think this one may be unisex. nms
Sean - nice, but one syllable
Nathan - nice
Parker - too cutesy for me
Seth - too short
Garett - OK
Landon - nms
Blaine - too short - too unisex
Brayden - too trendy, especially with the Y
Alec - not a good fit with last name
Aaron - OK

I would nix: Carson, Landon, Parker, and Brayden as too trendy
I would nix: Sean, Seth, and Blaine as not working well with Gunn

Carson - favorite so far
Sean
Nathan
Parker
Seth
Garett
Landon
Blaine
Brayden
Alec
Aaron


That leaves Nathan,
