Help with boys names

Hi everyone! My name is Emma and I'm due in September but we don't know the gender of bump.

We are down to 5(!) names in case it's a boy, and we're having a lot of trouble deciding on one!

The ones we have are:

Seth Adrian
Gabriel Corey
Leo Tristan
Ian Andrew
Owen Blake

Your opinions and suggestions are very welcome!
Thank you

Seth - I don't know why but I don't like Seth ... never have.
Gabriel - Sometimes I like Gabriel & sometimes I don't. Right now I like it.
Leo - A neat name that deserves more attention.
Ian - I dislike Ian more than I do Seth.
Owen - I like Owen. It's not heavily used yet either.

I like Leo Tristan best of your names. #2 would be Owen Blake. #3 would be Gabriel Corey.

I like Ian Andrew and Owen Blake the best. I also think Adrian Seth would "flow" better than Seth Adrian. :)

Early congrats on the little one! Here are my thoughts on your name list:

Seth Adrian- I really like both of these names! Very nice. I'd also like Seth Andrew a lot.
Gabriel Corey- I generally like Gabriel and Corey, but I don't love them together for some reason, and I like other options on your list better.
Leo Tristan- It's just OK for me.
Ian Andrew- I really like Ian, but the mn Andrew doesn't go well with it IMO. The "a" sounds run together and are too repetitive for me, KWIM? I-AN AN-drew. It sounds strange to me. What about Ian Gabriel or Ian Blake?
Owen Blake- I LOVE it! It is my favorite on your list. I like both names and they flow well together.

So, my favorite is Owen Blake with Seth Adrian or Seth Andrew a close 2nd. Good luck and HTH!

My favorite is Owen Blake, then Leo Tristan. What about Leo Adrian? I think that flows nicely :)

You have great choices! Seth and Leo really stand out for me, with Ian being in third. I find Gabriel and Owen to be a tad boring in comparison. I don't love the Ian Andrew combo though as I find it a bit repetitive. Ian Corey or Ian Blake flow better. I do have to ask - are any of the mn's family names? If any name has meaning, that would make it my favourite as I find that very important.

I think Owen Blake sounds the best as a combo. Ian Andrew and Seth Adrian are also nice to me.
