It's the best choice from your list, that's for sure. But there's no good reason for fiddling around with the spelling just because you think it's cute. How long does a boy stay cute - eight years maximum? And then he has to face a lifetime of spelling out his name ... you'll have to do the same, but he'll get more of the hassles. Rather go for the classic, hippy or not.

Silver is a GP of mine (I also like Teal/ Teale). I adore Griffin, but really don't like Gryffen. Why misspell a name on purpose?

Echo : Very pretty on a girl, and rather cool on a boy. I like it.
Zhody (ZAH-dee): I think this will be mispronounced as Zh-O-dy and looks a bit like a rehash of Cody.
Silver: I like it, but it feels more like a pet name to me.
Zephyr: I like it!
Griffin: It's a little bit hard for me to take seriously, but it's interesting. I dislike the spelling Gryffin; it makes it look like you're trying too hard to respell the word and turn it into a name. But I just hate ys randomly replacing is in words, so I am biased.
Percy: I like it, but it's a bit teasible. Popular media always slaps the name Percy on 'nerds' 'wimps' etc. so people's associations with the name can be bothersome. Still, Percy does need more love. :)

Oh I absolutely love Zephyr!
Griffin is lovely. I'm not into creatively spelled names so I don't like the spelling Gryffen.

Echo -like on a girl
Zhody -don't like
Silver -okay
Zephyr -not my style
Griffin -love it, but dislike Gryffen
Percy -okay
