Landon is getting a little popular, there are 2 on my birth month board. I love "unisex" names being reclaimed by boys, so I would love to see a little boy Avery.
While I do like Avery for a boy, with the popularity it has amongst girls vs boys right now, he'll likely be in school with several girl Averys and I worry it could have the same teasing opportunities as a boy named Robin.
I like Landon but agree it's too similar to your DS's name. Sorry but I can't get on board with Avery cause my daughter has a million girls named Avery in her Kindergarten grade. Even if you feel it should be a masculine name the reality is he would go to school with a name that is predominately used on the opposite sex these days and I imagine that's no fun for a child. Just a thought.

I'd go with Landon or another option.
The only Avery's I know in my area under age of 10 are all girls so personally I wouldn't use it. Landon is a little too similar to Lincoln but I like it better than Avery.
I like Landon better, but I think it's too close to Lincoln. I don't know that I'd pick Avery b/c it's becoming much more popular for a girl. Is there anything else you like? What about Lucas, Owen, Parker, Mason, Gavin, Bennett, Grayson, etc?
Every Avery I know is a girl. Especially with such a masculine name as Lincoln, Avery seems really feminine in comparison. I would go with Landon. It goes with Lincoln really well too.
Re: Top two contenders...
My feelings as well.
Neither
Andrew? Liam? Leo?
I like Landon but agree with the pp that said it's too close to Lincoln.
I don't really like Avery...although I do prefer it on a boy.
Yup, same here
Avery has gone to the girls in my area, and Landon sounds too matchy with Lincoln to me. Why not David Landon?

I agree 100%
Avery,
but I'm biased because I'm naming my son Avery Nicholas.
