For what it's worth:

Sean - like the sound, but think of an Irish granddad, or a middle-aged middle-class "Irish American" fellow
Thomas - love it, feels strong and smart, but don't like Tom or Tommy
Theo - not a fan, plus it's very well used right now
Henry - like; picture someone very capable
Nathan - OK; prefer Nathaniel, quite like Nate (or Nat, but not in Scotland)
Zachary - OK; Zach/Zack reminds me of an edgy '90s Hollywood bad boy
James - love, popular but pretty timeless, could be any type of man
Nicholas - like a lot, think it's an underused (at the moment) classic. May feel a little "wet" for a small child, but there's always Nick/Nicky.

100% James. Second choice Thomas

They're all decent names. Personally I love Henry. It's a real gentleman's name.

Sean - I don't know a young Sean
Thomas - great for any age
Theo - not keen and it's overused. I dislike Theodore.
Henry - it's ok
Nathan - not keen
Zachary - too trendy. Zac is ok don't like Zach
James - love it as a first name
Nicholas - like it

Thomas or James depending on which sounds best with your surname.

Sean / nephew named this was constantly mispronounced by a lot of people as seen so they changed the spelling to shawn
Thomas/ love and love the Tommy nickname
Theo / just no
Henry / really like
Nathan/ like the Nate nickname
Zachary / do not like
James / prefer Jamie but Jamie not bad
Nicholas / Geeky little boy
