number 3 and I'm having a tough time choosing. Some of these are family names but I just want to get an idea of which names are best received and/or sound the best. Thank you!
I voted August Jude. I really like Andrew, but I don't like the "drew" right next to the "jude". It sounds odd to me. Asher is not really my style, but I don't hate it.
My sister lost her son and gave the feminine form of his mn as her daughter's mn. If you can't find the right fit with Jude, you might could use Theodore again in the mn spot of even as the fn, such as Theodore Andrew.
Started adoption process in Jan. 2011.
3 failed matches in 2012.
Surprise pregnancy in Aug. 2012. Precious baby boy "HC" born May 2013.
Began researching EA in 2014.
No longer pursuing EA due to fibroid complications.
Sorry for your loss OP. Love that you want to use Jude again in honor... My favorite is John Jude with a nickname of JJ, so awesome.
Agree with previous statements that Andrew does not flow well with Jude. August is just okay, not as good as Jude. Asher is not my style, really don't like.
ETA: I realize John was not one of your original choices and an 'A' name seems to be your preference. Upon further consideration I would go with either August or Andrew, but I'd use the nickname AJ instead of Drew or Gus.

Any reason you don't want to use Jude as a fn?
