Thoughts on boy names, please

in Baby Names
We're fairly early in looking at boy names and I would love to get some thoughts. The MN is after my grandfather and is set (even if it doesn't create the best flow). LN is pretty common--starts with P and ends with -er. We're set on Eliza for our girl name so I'd like to make sure the names work together in case we have a boy first and girl in the future. In no particular order:
Luke Garland
Blake Garland (has family significance)
Everett Garland
Beau Garland
Carson Garland
Brant Garland (has family significance)
Rhett Garland
Something else you think we should consider? Suggest away! Thanks!

Re: Thoughts on boy names, please
While I really like Luke, I hear it all of the time on here... it is quite popular. If that doesn't bother you, it's a nice name.
I'd rate them:
Like: Luke, Everett
NMS, sounds kind of pretentious: Blake, Carson, Brant, Rhett
NMS, sounds country: Beau
Sorry, we have different styles.
Everett and Luke are nice. If you go with Everett, you can use Rhett as a NN so then you get to use two of your names....
Good luck choosing!!
(Some suggestions: Caleb, Dylan/Dillon, Colton/Colter, Max, Cole, Chase, Cade, Cameron, Chad, Ridge, Brock, Jacob, Jake, Scott, Hudson, Hunter)
Same here.
1. Blake
2. Everett
3. Rhett
Amazing names! Only one I dont like is Carson. And Garland is a really cool mn.
If I had to choose favorites... I'd say Everett (nn Rhett) and Beau.
