Would like help please?

If we find out this little one is another boy I don't think we're quite prepared. I'm still torn whether or not to use another 'an' ending name. As of right now we've decided to but if I love another name that much more than I will push to do otherwise. Anyhow, here are some names that I like. If anyone has any other to add that I may like, please do. TIA!
August
Porter
Gray
Breccan
Declan
Harlan
Griffin
Simon
Theron
Sherwin
Bowen
Patton
Sutton
Bannon
Rafe
Blaine
Hugh/Hughes
Bridger
Rhett
Angus

If you go with an "an" ending, my first choice would be Piran or Pieran (both pronounced as PEER-an). Piran is a Cornish name (it's on Behind the Name if your interested).

Thanks Elle! I have been feeling okay these days, thanks to the 2nd trimester. We have our u/s next month. :)
Kae (dr_kae) had suggested Piran to me a long while ago. I do think I like the Pieran spelling, that's what I had on my list. I'm not sure if it's too soft next to Ethan, Logan, and Corban. Another thing that crosses my mind is that my twin sister has a nephew named Pearson/Pierson (I forget how they spell it) but I guess they never see each other. You are right in that I like nn's and I really love Pier or Piers. I will give this name a 2nd thought. :)

I think Declan would go very well with your other kids.
I know it's pretty popular right now but what about Greyson?
It has a similar enough ending to your other boys and you could call him Grey (which was on your list)
I love Declan, and agree it's becoming more popular but I don't think it's tipping the scales so much that you'd run the risk of having two Declan's in class together.
Other names that popped into my head were:
Camden (I love Cam....just not Cameron)
Kieran (Kiran for an alternate spelling)
Odin (my friends son....I just love it and while they don't use Odie as a nn I find it cute)
Coleman (another friends son....his middle name is Jefferson and they were going to call him CJ but he's a Coleman nothing else)
Lincoln (this was a friends choice after they decided against Lennon, which I preferred but you'd have to be a big Beatles fan to go with it)
I do like Grayson but it's not on the list because of it being popular.
Camden - too trendy and I don't want to repeat initials
Kieran - too feminine to my ears
Odin - too rhymey next to Logan
Coleman - too close to Corban and again the initial thing
Lincoln - no repeating initials, I do prefer Lennon over Lincoln though
With my boys' names all ending the same I definitely don't want any of them starting the same. Thanks for the list but most are trendier than what I'm looking for.
So far dh has said yes to -
Declan
Harlan
Gowan
Arden
Theron
No to -
August
Porter
Bridger
Sutton
Simon
Hopefully he'll finish the list tonight. ;)
I kinda thought most would be a bit too trendy - it was an off the top of my head list...no real thought put into it other than 'what have I heard recently'
*grin*
my vote goes for Declan or Harlan....both sound strong and fit well with your other names
Have you considered
Byron
Sullivan
Deacon
Duncan
Riordan
Ogden
Quinlan
Tillman
Waylon
Not all end in AN but a similar sound maybe that will appeal to you.
