I'm afraid that Avery has pretty much gone to the girls, so that would be out for me. I agree with DH about Julian. Just couldn't give an American boy a name so close to the popular Julia. Bailey is also tipping toward the girls. Carter is a tad pretentious for me, and Justin is a tad wimpy.

That leaves:
Kevin, Sean, Zachary and Aaron. I think Kevin and Sean are great names. Zachary is fine. Aaron is fine, too, but I have a pronouciation issue with the name: for me, the vowel sound is Ah-ron, not Air-on, so I couldn't name my boy that name because when people from diffrent parts of the country say "Air-on" I cringe. Just a personal thing!

Kevin- its okay
Sean- I like this name, especially with this spelling
Avery- I like this better on a girl
Justin- a very nice name
Julian- I like it
Carter- its okay
Bailey- very feminine
Zachary- I really like this name. What about Zachariah?
Aaron- nice

What about Ian? I really like that name. Or maybe Ethan, Luke, or Kyle? Out of these choices, I like Justin, Sean, and Zachary the best.

Kevin--like it
Sean--like it
Avery--agree with other posts, gone to the girls
Justin--nice name
Julian-like it, but afraid kids would call him Julie, Julia, ect
Carter--not a fan
Bailey--don't like it on boys, taken over by the girls
Zachary--like it
Aaron--LOVE IT

You can tell that I chose Aaron, as its my 2nd sons name. You have several great choices, so I think if you went with Aaron, Kevin, Sean, or Zachary, you couldn't lose.

I would have voted for Julian in a heartbeat, it is far and away my favorite from your list. But if your DH doesn't like it then there is no point as it will be scratched most likely at some point. My next favorite was Sean, a solid, handsome name, IMO.
