I think Avery is the best. I like the meaning of the name and i agree with others it just has a perfect little ring to it even with a one sylable last name starting with an "F".

Jonathan Avery sounds nice to me but I prefer the meaning behind Jonathan Micah.

Jonathan - gift from God and Micah - who is like God
vs.
Jonathan - gift from God and Avery - nobility

My mom's family is Welsh, so I am partial to Welsh names like Owen. but it's hard to pick one without hearing the last name too :) But I have to agree with Melanie below- Johnathan Avery just has a very nice ring to it! Congratulations and have fun with your final pick!

Oh my gosh - this is soooo strange! When I saw the subject line of your post, I immediately thought "Avery" - then when the page loaded, I saw it was one of your choices!! So, obviously, my vote is for Avery :) I think it sounds smart and sophisticated.
