Baby Names

What do you think of these boy names?

TTC #1 and exploring names. Please let me know what you think of my boys names. Pros, cons, likes, dislikes, etc. There are a lot more names I like that just don't work well with our last name, but feel free to give suggestions. *My current favorites. 

My name criteria are easy to spell/pronounce, not super popular, and won't automatically be shortened to a nickname (e.g., Benjamin to Ben). I also consider name meanings and lean towards names from mine or husband's heritage (includes Irish, Welsh, Scottish, German, Greek, English, French).

Griffin
Ian

    I've always been a sentimental fan of Dylan. I love Dylan Thomas and Bob Dylan both. I was also adolescently in love with a Dylan in high school. 

    Eugene is my dad's name. So I have to give this a nod, right?

    Ronan was in our top 3 for a boy. 

    Those are my choices.
  • Alden*- I really like this actually and recommend it on here often
    Declan* - over it
    Dylan- nms but I wouldn't side eye it
    Eugene- I want to like this but just can't 
    Evan- a fine name, nothing to get excited about but nothing bad about it
    Gavin- ok
    Griffin- like
    Ian-LOVE
    Julian- LOVE LOVE
    Kevin*- ok.  although with kids I only think Minions right now
    Kyle- nice
    Lachlan- Really like
    Rhys- LOVE
    Ronan-LOVE
    Ryan*- Nice
    Sebastian - Really like but it is steady in popularity climbing
    Theodore - over it
    Trevor*- interesting and surprising I like it
