Boy name to go with Grace

Our daughter is Grace. Baby boy is arriving in a few months. I'm struggling with picking a boy name. I like classic, common, easily spelled names. 

We are tossing around:

Patrick- my favorite

Elliott- love this for a boy but don't want people to think he's a girl since it seems to be trending toward a boy name now

Elijah- not sure about this because the pronunciation. E-lie-ja or Uh-lie-ja. Heard both ways. 

Gabriel-(nn Gabe) my second favorite but is it too much for a Grace and Gabe??

thoughts?  Suggestions??

    I like Elijah (e-li-jah) with Grace. What about Henry or Charlie?

    I like Elliott.  The best way to stop the boys as girls name trend is to keep using the name for boys.

    Patrick and Elliott are both awesome. Elliott is all boy just because a few misguided people think it's OMG so cute so they can use Ellie doesn't change that.

    My niece and nephew are Grace and Ben, and I think it's really cute together. 

    Also suggest Ethan.

    I love a lot of your suggestions. Adam is my brother so that's out. Thomas will be the middle name after my husband and FIL. Benjamin was another name I was throwing around but we have friends with a Grace and Ben. Too much??? Husband vetoed Jack and Ethan.

    Love Patrick and Elliot. Not a fan of Elijah. Gabriel is a fantastic name but not with Grace.
