Thank you everyone! I agree that [name_m]Baxter[/name_m] is a bit of a stretch. I do like the idea of [name_m]Booker[/name_m] nn [name_m]Beck[/name_m], @kachenka, and I want to like [name_m]Beacon[/name_m] because it’s a lovely word, but it has some not-so-great associations with my job. 
@Greyblue I’ve loved [name_m]Barclay[/name_m] ever since I read a trilogy with one in it - they called him Barc lol but I like [name_m]Beck[/name_m] much more! It feels even less intuitive than [name_m]Baxter[/name_m], but maybe the C connects it a little more? [name_m]Brannoc[/name_m] nn [name_m]Beck[/name_m] could work as well, but I think I still prefer [name_m]Breccan[/name_m] to [name_m]Brannoc[/name_m]?
Definitely some ideas to mull over, thanks berries!
