Hello there! I am looking for a boy name ending in -AN. We accidentally began this name theme, but now on our fourth child and feel we need to go along with it. (I have gone over every argument for and against name themes, but now that we have one I’m a bit 'ocd’ish that we stay with it. And very honestly with our third lo it was not our top name choice, but my dh went back on our chosen name after lo was born! Then we were grasping for a name and went with dh’s other choice without realizing all our lo’s would end in -an!)
Thing is I am not finding a boy name in this area that I really love this go around. While there are an abundance of them, none feel right. Please suggest all that you can think of! I just keep hoping that someone has one that I haven’t found yet! It does not have to be a English/British name, just ending in -an !
Names I like that are not in -an (to give you an idea of my taste in names) [name_m]Otis[/name_m], [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]. Thank you in advance!

What are your thoughts on [name_u]Logan[/name_u]? Is it overused? Or past it’s time? It’s the name my dh likes, I’m not
overly keen.
So far from these suggestions I’m like [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]/[name_m]Lochlan[/name_m] and [name_m]Lucian[/name_m], [name_m]Donovan[/name_m].
I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]. What if it’s spelled [name_m]Benjaman[/name_m]? Besides having to correct people on spelling, what’s your thoughts?
I love [name_u]Logan[/name_u], [name_m]Declan[/name_m] and [name_m]Ian[/name_m]!
