I like Finch. Probably a GP but it could work as a mn for either gender though I'd prefer it for a boy. It reminds me of the Finch family in To Kill a Mockingbird which is a nice association, and also obviously the bird, also a nice association.
Of the rest of your list, I really like Niko, but the rest I'm not so keen on.

I've loved Finch on a guy for a while but it seems to get no love on this board whenever I bring it up. :(

Sad, I really like Finch! It's an awesome name and I think it would be great if it was used! :D
I know this is unrelated but I love Griffin / Gryphon but I also hate it. If it weren't for Family Guy I'd probably use it but because of Family Guy I can't fully love it. I really wish their last name wasn't Griffin or that they didn't call them by their family name so much in the show or that the show hadn't become so popular. :( It would be so awesome to have a kid named after a mystical beast while also using the nn Finn but I just can't see myself using this name because of the association.

I see all of these being very masculine except Prue and Niko which feel unisex.
For boys I love Finch and Niko. Finch I don't see working well for a girl. Niko I love for a boy or for a girl.
I also really like Remy, Keaton, and Clement but not quite as much as Finch and Niko. I don't care for Prue and Pollux.
You reminded me how much I like Finch. Haven't thought much about it for a long time. It reminds me of Finn but more unused and a little more substantial while still feeling relaxed and fun. I think it's as usable as a name as Robin is and I've always liked Robin. I'd love to meet a little boy named Finch and I'm pretty certain that I have once.

Finch - boy and usable! Nickname: Fin?
Prue - I just hear how close it is to 'prude' and I can't like it.
Niko - Love it! That's my oldest son's name.
Remy - Awesome. For a full name? I don't mind it for a full name, but I also really enjoy is as a nickname for Remington or Romilly.
Pollux - nope, sounds like a disease
Keaton - pretty good
Clement - Great! I would love to seem brothers Clement and Ambrose

Finch sounds too crimped for a first name. I don't know if that makes sense, but I don't know how else to put it, so for me it is more GP material. If I were to pick I think I would say it feels more boyish to me, because of the similarity to Finn, though birds of similar type tend to seem more girlish to me generally.
Prue is more nicknamey imo.
Niko is cool, but it feels like it's trying to be.
Remy is awesome. I think it has a softness, but it still very masculine.
Pollux is handsome, but also sounds like an illness and I don't know how I feel about the two of those things in conjunction.
Keaton is just too last namey for me.
Clement feels slimy (Clem=Phlegm), but I love the meaning.

Finch! Finch!
"Stiffler's mom! Stiffler's mom!"
That's all anybody needs to know about Finch.
Pollux is very likely to be turned into Polack.

I can think of something much worse that Pollux could be turned into, that being a fine example of British slang. In fact, the two sound identical when I say them aloud.
I had to google the "Stifler's mom" thing.
