Thoughts on Boy Names, Please?

I posted a few weeks ago asking about boy names that could be pronounced easily in Spanish and English. I took note of all of the ideas you ladies gave and passed them along to DH, but unfortunately none of them stood out to him as 'the name'. He did, however, suggest a couple of names:

Adrian - DS2 (2yo) is Aaron, would this be an issue/confusing?
Jacob
Isaac

Thoughts on the names? Any other names along the same line that you wonderful ladies would care to suggest?

ETA - Some I've found and liked:
Cruz
Arik - as MN
Mikhael/Mikha'el
Nicolas - as MN

  • I like Adrian, I don't think it's too close to Aaron although it's a bit matchy. Adrian Nicolas sounds nice.

    Adrián is okay but I prefer Adriano. The problem I have with Adrián is that it has kind of gone to the girls in English. What about: Gabriel, Lorenzo, Santiago, Victor, Marco, or Leo?

  • I think Adrian is way too similar to Aaron. Jacob is too popular for me but I love Isaac!

  • Adrian is pretty similar in sound to Aaron, unfortunately. I love it. Have you considered Julian? Same feel (to me) as Adrian. I like Mikhael next from your list.

    @mjreilly2‌ I stand corrected. My mom's friend's son is Adrian and I was just speaking based on his experience that people often assume he's a girl when they see his name written. People are dumb.

  • Thank you for your thoughts ladies, truly appreciate it! I kind of figured Adrian would be a bit too similar and possibly confusing for DS2. I think I've narrowed it down some more, which honestly helps a ton.

    @ClaryPax - Arik is a diminutive of Ariel, a masculine Hebrew name meaning 'lion of God'.

  • Isaac! Isaac Nicholas would be a great name and I like the sound of Aaron and Isaac together.

  • I like Isaac a lot!

    I also like Cruz.  I think Cruz comes off as trying too hard in an all-Anglo family, but from a Latino background it works.
    +1

    I think Aaron and Isaac together are great. They have all different sounds but complement each other nicely and are both biblical. And I like that they both have a twinned letter, it is subtle w/o being matchy matchy.
