I don't like London AT ALL. A lot of the names on your list I like, I just don't like the way you spell them.
Choice #1) Collin, Gavin, and Austin
Choice #2) Collin, Gavin, and Landin (prefer spelt Landon)
Choice #3) Collin, Gavin, and Evin (prefer spelt Evan)
As for the girls, I like Brooke the best.

I think I've seen London mentioned for a girl on this board, so it might be one of those up-and-coming "place names" - - like Dakota, Brooklyn, etc. Personally, I wouldn't use it unless it had special meaning, because he'll be asked to explain a lot.

Austin is fine, Corbin, Dustin, Griffin are nms, but fine.

To be brutally honest, the following spellings look illiterate: Aydin, Ashtin, Bradin,Brendin, Evin, Haydin, Kaidin, Kirklin, Landin, Nolin, Owen, Trentin, Prestin, Tristin They don't make a good first impression.

London is not my style.

The only London I know is a 2 yo girl, so if having a boy with a name that is being used by girls is an issue for you, you might want to consider that. Maybe do some research on the Social Security Admin site to see if it is more of a girls or a boys name.

Of the "in" boys names you listed I prefer Justin.

I like Brooke or Caitlin for a girl.

Good luck!

I like it a lot for a girls name, but not for a boys name.

I'm sorry, but I really dislike London as a name, boy or girl. I don't like place names in general, but just the Lun-dun sound doesn't sound right to me.

I like many of the other names you listed, however I would give them the normal ending (an, en, on, etc) instead of changing it to in for all of them. It still give the in sound, and doesn't look like it's misspelled.

My favs of what you listed are Trenton, Landon and Corbin.
