Aaron: It's okay. But like I've said before, most places here in the US, Aaron and Erin sound identical.
Flynn: Weaky, limp, yuppie Celtic-wannabe name.
Isaac: It's okay, but only just.
Jesse: Very nice and down-to-earth. I went on a few dates in high school with a slightly older guy named Jesse. He wasn't drop-dead handsome, but he was always smiling and laughing and that made him seem more handsome than if he'd had movie-star looks. Very nice guy.
Jett: Lame.
Matthew: I freaking hate this pasty, sissy name. It's the Sarah of boys' names.
Matthias: For people who want Matt but are put off by how popular it is.
Reilly: This spelling just looks wrong even though I know it isn't.
Sonny: Street name. Mobster name. Default name for an old person to call a young man who is about to get a tongue-lashing.
Alyssa: Always liked this.
Anneliese: Prissy.
Breeze: Not a name, unless you're naming an air freshener.
Breanne: Nice. I like Brianna even more.
Brylee: Gag.
Ella: Blah. Never understood the popularity here.
Holly: Very pretty.
Jaimee: Cutesy-poo spelling of Jamie, which is okay on a girl but sickly-babyish on a boy.
Sienna: Tacky.
Tessa: Baby-talk sounding.
Willow: A bit hipster but not terrible.
Flynn: Weaky, limp, yuppie Celtic-wannabe name.

I have a manager with the first name Aaron. He's such an awesome guy that he made me like the name again. I hadn't met a nice Aaron before him, but now I use it for side characters when I can't think of something else.
Double letter names are awesome. I like Flynn, Jett, Matthew, and Matthias from your boys' list and Anneliese, Holly, and Willow from your girls' list. They're very nice. :D

Aw... my first boyfriend, who was also racist, ageist and prejudiced (reason we broke up) was named Aaron. Lovely name, but I sure will never use it!
Associations always influence our views on names.
Most of the Aarons I've known have been rude, arrogant people. Between those Aarons and my personality, we've been able to loftily sneer at each other and move on in silence. I think I might have found one of the few nice-ish Aarons at work. Granted, he's not a saint. I really admire his work ethic, sense of humor, and the friendship he's allowed me to extend to him. I can always use more friends and it's nice to have one that I can still respect as a leader in my workplace. He's a cool person.
I know how you feel about not using a name because of an ex. I can't use Josh or Joshua for anything. Just the name makes me edgy. Sometimes our perceptions are permanently marred because of the people we come across. I'm sorry the Aaron you met was such a jerk.
