Aoi is the stage name for the second guitarist from the Japanese rock (j-rock) band, GazettE, or Gazetto.

It's kinda popular among girls right now, but I've never encountered a boy with the name (I live in Japan). It's a very feminine sounding name to me as someone who actually has been living in Japan a while and speaks the language. Though with parents doing all sorts of weird things with names and kanji and such these days (which rather frustrates school-teachers even if they're native speakers), you never know what parents will do with their children's names.

Well, what a nice name! There are so many nice Japanese girl and guy names out there... 90% of them really, truly are beautiful!

My older sister is naming her daughter this. I think it's lovely. But I've never heard of any boys called Aoi either.
