First Baby- -Need some opinions on names

Yes, we are very excited. However, we're having some difficulty with the name. My husband's family has a tradition of using the father's name as the son's middle name. And this is a very good tradition, except that they named my husband Garrett, which is an excellent first name, but not all that easy to pair with a first name. After poring through dozens of baby names websites, I've come up with a few that might work. Let me know what you think of these, and if you have any other suggestions.
My List: Gabriel Garrett
Montgomery Garrett
Nathaniel
Riley
Spencer
Cameron
Warren

Some of these aren't so great, but it's so hard to find names that flow right. Please help!

The traditional names like James, Charles, John, Thomas and such go well with Garrett.

I think that a 3 syllable fn sounds better with Garrett, like Gabriel you mentioned. Some others that might work:

Benjamin
Joshua
Jamison
Christopher
Samuel
Donovan
Zachary
Josiah
Theodore
