Peyton
Peyton was my grandfather's name and I love it. Don't know where you're from, but I think it sounds even nicer said, as he did, with a bit of a Southern accent.
The others aren't to my taste at all; Reagan, I believe is a girl's name and the rest are too surname-y (I do like Colm and Columba, but not Coleman).

Several of those meanings are incorrect. This is a name etymology site, so you should have no trouble finding the correct meanings.
Your chosen names are not my style at all, I don't like them. But they all flow well enough with the surname except for McCoy.

Peyton Thomas Moore- I think of Peyton to be more of a girls than a boys name
Reagan Thomas Moore - Ronald Reagan
Anderson Thomas Moore- Dislike Andy so if he gets called that dislike, if stays without nickname I like it
McCoy Thomas Moore - Why does it have 2 capital letter in a first name, prefer Macoy by far
Bennett Thomas Moore - Cute!
Coleman Thomas Moore- Think of Coles which is a supermarket brand here in Australia
I would go with Bennett Thomas Moore first then Anderson T. M. then Peyton Thomas Moore.
These were my first thoughts after reading these name...
just my opinions though :)
Reagan Thomas Moore - Ronald Reagan
Anderson Thomas Moore- Dislike Andy so if he gets called that dislike, if stays without nickname I like it

Peyton - means "paega's town", not "noble". Doesn't flow well with Thomas and is a town, not a person. "Pay more" is potential teasing too.
Reagan - means "impulsive", not "Ruler". President Reagan is an association for the name, but it doesn't make the meaning "president". The president is the first thing i think of. This would be a good choice if you're a Republican.
Anderson - a supermarket chain, and very surnamey. So surnamey that people could get his first and last names reversed.
McCoy – means "son of the firey one", not "Genuine". First thing i think of is Star Trek. Mc- names are surnames not first names. Subject to the same confusion as Anderson. Geeky and weird. Plus it doesn't flow well with your last name.
Bennett - Great choice. Flows well and is a strong name.
Coleman - first thing i think of is the camping gear company. But not a bad name otherwise. Not the best flow with the last name. "man-mor": lots of m's. Technically the meaning is "little dove", but that's ok.
First choice would be Bennett. Reagan second choice, and Coleman third.
You might want to rethink posting your surname, and future son's full name, on the internet. It will be searchable and easily found with Google years from now, when your son might not want his name all over baby name sites. And posts here get archived and unable to be edited after a while. We don't need to know your surname.

Peyton, Reagan seem to wannabe stars. Cold and pretentious
Anderson - it's like parents were determined not to give the boy a personal name. He's not just a guy, he's a brand!
McCoy – has a chip on its shoulder. stay away from anybody named Hatfield
Bennett – sounds kind of normal-trendy surname-name. It's alright!
Coleman – again... someone's determined not to give him a personal name? Cole is a name.

I really don't care for any of them.
Peyton is a nice name but I feel it is more of a girl name these days.
Reagan brings to mind the late president. But is also becoming a female name.
Anderson is a last name.
McCoy actually not a bad name but I hate the double C's. Also, I always think of the real McCoy.
Bennet sounds stuck up and snobbish.
Coleman reminds me of all things related to camping. And I hate camping,

Don't like any of the names, with the exception of Bennett. Bennett is a nice enough name and I think Bennett Moore is simple and nice without being overly plain.

Nope
A lot of your supposed meanings are off. For example, McCoy doesn't mean "genuine" it means "son of Aodh" with Aodh meaning "fire." Peyton means "son of Paegh" and Reagan means "impulsive" and Anderson means "son of Andrew" not "manly." You may want to look at all of your supposed meanings more closely.
Peyton and Reagan have been taken over by girls so I steer clear of them.

I'll be completely honest - I'd roll my eyes at each and everyone one of them. I'm not into the surname as first names and these are especially bad. McCoy - really? The Real McCoy? Anderson isn't that bad but I'd think of Anderson Cooper. Coleman makes me think of the lantern, Reagan makes me think you're a crazy republican and Peyton just annoys me.
Bennett Thomas Moore is the best of the bunch.

These names aren't my style at all.
Peyton - bratty sounding. It also mean's "Paege's town," not Noble.
Reagan - Republican saint name. It means "impulsive," not regal.
Anderson - Kind of bookish, compared to these. Means Ander's son...
McCoy - I'd think he was named after a relative. McCoy means "son of Aodh," which is a name that's related to Aidan and means "fire."
Bennett - Pleasant enough name, doesn't have a whiney or ugly sound like Peyton or Reagan. And the meaning is pleasant and accurate, unlike the pleasant and inaccurate meanings for your other names - Bennett does indeed come from Benedict, which means "blessing." It sounds overall intelligent and kind. Gets my vote.
Coleman - I think this is just an ugly name and it sounds mumbly with Moore. To me it has kind of a low self esteem sound. The meaning you have is actually also correct! It's a nice meaning but I think the meaning is nicer than the name.

Note, I pretty much disregard name meanings unless they're obvious, because most people don't know and you / he wont spend your lives explaining the name's meaning.
Peyton Thomas Moore - Noble - While I'm not a huge fan of Peyton, I think this one sounds best.
Reagan Thomas Moore – Regal, Ruler - It's okay.
Anderson Thomas Moore - Manly - This one made me laugh. I can't decide if it's a brand of paint, a window installer or a law firm.
McCoy Thomas Moore – Genuine - This one seems out of place amongst your other choices.
Bennett Thomas Moore – Blessed One - Sounds okay. I don't prefer Bennet over other Ben names, but I don't dislike it either.
Coleman Thomas Moore – Dove - It's, again, okay.
Overall, your name selections are nms due to them all being relatively common surnames. I tend to like surnames in general (I have a Fletcher), but there seems to be a lack of balance or of an obvious first name.
It makes me think of email addresses. Sometimes we get first.last@ combos and sometimes it's last.first@.... if I didn't know the first name, it would be hard to tell what to call him by.

To be honest, they're all rather inoffensive in that they all feel common and on trend. Other than McCoy (although there will be other Mc names) he won't be alone in the class with any f these. I wouldn't want two surnames (as all of these are) but they're common right now so it won't be viewed as weird.
Peyton - does not mean noble. I also always mishear it as 'painting'. It's really whiney.
Reagan - Ronald
Anderson - I just really wouldn't want two surnames! I like Anders.
McCoy - again, doesn't mean 'genuine'. It's a surname which originates from the name Aodh, which means fire. I also think it's really ugly.
Bennett - it's the best one here, and I love Ben, which I think Bennett would probably become.
Coleman - Coleman is a brand of mustard here, I'm not sure if it is one where you are. It will probably be shortened to Cole.
Suggestions:
Cole Thomas Moore
Anders Thomas Moore
Callum
Simon
Harrison / Harris
Malachi
Malcolm
Tristan
Nelson
Finnian
Riordan
Lucas
Niall / Neil

Hi, so I think you need to check the meanings of some of your names again, but there are some on your list which aren't correct. Anderson and Bennett are the only ones I like, even though I don't generally go for surname type names. Bennett Thomas runs into each other, which I don't like, but it also has the best meaning, which is more important in my opinion.
