HelpRe: So, I've Been Bitten by the Celtic Bug...

I would also pronounce Ewan and Eoghan differently. I don't know about North America but in the UK Eoghan and Eoin is pronounced the same as Owen.
Sian is definitely a girl's name. To use it on a boy would be the equivalent of naming a boy Jane. If you like the sound, Sion is the Welsh equivalent of Sean and pronounced the same (in England, anyway). Shan might work for a boy if you pronounce it Shann, (whereas Sian is Shahn).
Of your list I like:
Niamh
Carys and Cerys
Sian
Lachlan - I don't like Lochlann as it looks made up to me and I think Lachlan is a nice name and quite unusual (except in Australia)
Calum (also like Callum. This spelling seems to be more popular at the moment)
Owen
Ross
Cameron
