We have a MN, but no FN!

The middle name will be Anthony, after my DH's deceased father. Our last name starts with a N and is Italian. Here are my preferences on the FN:

1) I prefer that it's a name that can't be shortened (e.g. Jonathan to John) or be given a nickname (yes, I realize this may happen no matter what).

2) I'd like it to be short or medium in length b/c our last name is kind of long and will be harder to learn how to spell.

3) I'm thinking I don't want it to start with an A, since the middle name does, and don't it to end with the 'e' sound since the MN does.

4) Nothing highly unusual or wierd.

I've searched lots of sites online and gone through some books, but can't find anything I love. Any suggestions? I'd love to here them, even if they don't fit my criteria.

I can only think of John or Sean.

I'm not much help, as we are using James for mn (after DH), but we can't agree on anything for a fn!

Caleb and Blake come to mind right away that I think sound good with Anthony.

It might be kind of common, but I like the combination of Mark Anthony.

Thanks for the suggestions so far! I like Ryan, but DH isn't crazy about it b/c he has a good friend named Ryan. Names he likes include Jacob, Tyler, Brandon, Alexander, & Brantley.
