Need a boy name that goes with a last name ending in -an

couponingkelly

Need help with first name ideas. Middle name is likely going to be James (a family name), last name is Herman. I seem to like a lot of names that end in a vowel and then n or m (Ex: Ronan, Cian, Owen, Weston, Callum) but in my opinion they sound kind of clunky with a last name with an -an ending. I'm also not a fan of alliterative names so unfortunately anything starting with H is probably out. I also like the nicknames AJ, CJ, JJ, PJ, SJ, TJ so any first name starting with one of those letters would be a bonus.

Strongly considering Luca or Lucas, although Lucas might be a little too common. I really like Gaelic names but I'm finding a lot of them (at least the ones that would be easier to use in America) have a vowel + n or m ending.

Some other names we are considering:
Alexander James (flows really well but not the biggest fan of "Alex")
Brighton James
Camden James
Ezra James
Finn/Finley (I really like the traditional Gaelic spelling Fionnlagh but that might be too cruel) (also not sure about the middle name James with this one)
Fletcher James
Jonah James
Jude James
Lachlan James
Oliver/Ollie James

Any and all suggestions would be greatly welcomed!

I have a similar sounding last name, and we have a Connor James.  
I call him CJ from time to time. 
Oliver was a front-runner for him as well.

Personally, out of your options I love Alexander James (but I also like Alex 🤷‍♀️)

I have a Wesley James - so obviously like that pairing.

Asher James

Love Oliver, Ezra, and Jonah, especially with James. Arthur might be another one although not Gaelic either.
