Need help with a Boys Name!!

We are team green and trying to pick both boys/girls names.  I love the name Payton Elizabeth for a girl, however boys names have been very tricky.

 Our last name is Knudsen (pronounced Kah-nood-suhn), however many people do not pronounce the "K" and say Nudsen....

Needless to say, I love the name Nolan James, but I can just hear people saying Nolan Nudsen.  What are your thoughts?

Other boys name I have in mind is Charles Huston.  Charles being DH's and FIL's middle name.  Huston (pronounced Houston) being my great grandfather's middle name.

 Any good ideas?

    I went to school with twins who had that LN, but the K was silent.  So Nolan Knudsen is a little too alliterative.  While Huston is a little rhymey with Knudsen, I'd go with Charles Huston Knudesn

    Love Nolan ! Nolan James is great. I am a bit biased because my DS's (9 months) name is Nolan Reid ! I wouldn't worry about the wrong name pronunciation because with the correct pronunciation I think Nolan sounds best.

    The CH sound in Charles with the K sound in your last name, I don't think flows. Huston Knudsen with the correct pronunciation together just sounds awful I am so sorry.
