If you name him Aiden, everybody will think he's a trannie.

True story.

I love Salinger the author, but I don't like it as a first name.

i love it.
and the nickname sal

I like Salinger as a first name option. In response to one of your other choices and in conjunction with other threads on this important topic, I really do think there is a LOT of validity to not giving your kids names that will regularly be misspelled and/or mispronounced.
'Esequiel' - I have to ask, are you sure?? I would go with a more traditional spelling, like Ezekiel or Esekiel, if you have a preference in pronunciation. I think it's a great name, but I'd be worried about making it too tricky or a burden on your child - just food for thought. :)

it's the spanish spelling.

It's not. The Spanish spelling is Ezequiel. My grandfather was named that way.

As for the others, we'd write "Inés", and pronounce the G in "Gisela" with a hard sound like the j in "Tijuana" or the ch in the German "acht".
