Names with similar style as "Declan"

Boy Names
1

Boys’ names are hard for me. I would like something unique, but not so uncommon and out there that it’s laughed at. I keep coming back to the name [name_u]Declan[/name_u], although I can’t decide if I really like it. Here are the types of names I tend to like:

-Two syllables
-Ends in a consonant
-Can be shortened to a one syllable nickname

Other examples of names that I think are ok but am not totally in love with are [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] and [name_m]Lucas[/name_m].

What other names might I like?

I really like the nickname [name_m]Dax[/name_m] for a boy, I’m just not sure if it could be used with [name_u]Declan[/name_u]!
