I go to Baylor University so I don't think I could ever really like that name for a child.

Baylor U...

Yep, that's the first thing that comes to my mind. :o) I don't think it really fits in with the rest of the boys names; they're more "retro" (for lack of a better word), and Baylor is too modern to fit. I suppose Brighton & Jameson could be considered modern, but I can also picture them in use a couple generations ago, whereas I can't with Baylor.

I think it goes well. I like it on a boy, especially since i saw/read Ya-Ya-Sisterhood..

Baylor -only on a boy, but too much like Sailor/Saylor tred for my taste, also a name of a college, it's like naming your son Yale to me
Brighton -not so weird since I loved the show Nanny, but too last namey for my taste
Jameson -not bad, the only one I might use from your list
Hilary -with Hilary Clinton, no way for a boy (or girl)
Sterling -last year I visited Sterling Castle in Scotland, also pound sterling (like naming him Dollar) and sterling silver
Holden -ok, but not my style

I like Baylor, but for a girl [m]

I might consider it myself either Baylor or Bailor.

ETA: I also like Sterling for a girl. Hilary is great for either gender

Baylor is a college, and if I am correct, so is Brighton. I would steer clear of using both in a sibset. Jameson reminds me of Jamestown as well as the ever so trendy surname as first name. Holden gives me that vibe as well, although it is also literary so I don't mind it as much. Hilary bothers me as a boy and a girl name. Sterling reminds me of Starlings, which are horribly mean birds.

No. Horrible. But it would fit with the rest of your boy's names

And on a positive note, I like Holden.
