Naming our son is getting tough!!

I have a daughter, Autumn Jade, and my boyfriend and I are expecting a son now. We've been working on names, and I find that I'm still very much in love with the name I'd chosen for my daughter (had she actually been a son): Landon. The problem is that our son will take my boyfriend's last name, which is Lawson. I just don't like the combination of Landon Lawson! I think it sounds horrible, but I can't find another boy's name that I love!
The closest we can come to an agreement would be on the following names, and I can still find fault with every one of them:
Max Riley...'Max' makes me think of a dog.
Pierce Riley...'Pierce' sounds too soft and girly for a boy, in my opinion.
Corbin Riley...As with 'Landon' I don't like the hard 'N's being together: Corbin Lawson
Sage Riley...No reason, really, I just don't care for it.
As you can see, the middle name will definitely be Riley (my last name), so we at least have one of the names figured out!
Thanks for any help you can provide. We're desperate for new suggestions.

How about Bennett? It somehow has a similar sound to Landon to me. Bennett Landon sounds nice...but you may be worried about too many n sounds, huh?
How about...
Garrett Landon
Davis Landon
Carter Landon
Garner Landon
Paris Landon
Derek Landon
Phillip Landon
Parker Landon
Porter Landon
I agree that Landon Lawson doesn't sound very well together. I do like Corbin, though.
Other ideas that sound similar to Landon:
Camden Riley Lawson
Jackson Riley Lawson
Paxton Riley Lawson
Braedon Riley Lawson
Other ideas:
Tanner Riley Lawson
Travis Riley Lawson
Grant Riley Lawson
Noah Riley Lawson
Caleb Riley Lawson
Ethan Riley Lawson
Evan Riley Lawson
Shane Riley Lawson
Blaine Riley Lawson
Blake Riley Lawson
Alec Riley Lawson
Cameron Riley Lawson
A FEW THAT CAME TO MY MIND WERE:
GAGE RILEY LAWSON
OWEN RILEY LAWSON
GHARET RILEY LAWSON
COOPER RILEY LAWSON
GOOD LUCK!
that is a really tough request - because you need to avoid on, en, in, an enders because of the way Lawsons ends - you also need to avoid names that end in R because of going into Riley as the middle, - they would run together, and you don't want Y or long E enders because of Riley ending that way - I would also avoid any L names with Lawson, so here goes, it'll be a short list I think
Andrew Riley Lawson
Adam Riley Lawson
Brent Riley Lawson
Chad Riley Lawson
Derek Riley Lawson (I LIKE that, sounds really good all together)
Dwight Riley Lawson
Dominic Riley Lawson
Eric Riley Lawson (almost as good on sound as Derek)
Gage Riley Lawson (alt to Sage, as Sage is getting more known for girls)
Heath Riley Lawson
Isaac Riley Lawson
Matthew Riley Lawson
Marcus Riley Lawson
Noah Riley Lawson (very very good sound & flow all together)
Patrick Riley Lawson
Trent Riley Lawson
William Riley Lawson
hope you find something you like in there
good luck
Wow...some great names! Thanks so much for brainstorming with me!
Ugh, it's just so difficult for me to decide! I'm glad we still have some time. My formal name is Brynnen (but I've ALWAYS gone by 'Brynn'), and I have a brother named Griffin. I guess that's another reason why I'm so against the hard 'N' sounds. And then, of course, my boyfriend's name is Jaden, so it's just hard 'N's all around!
I'm going to run some of these by my boyfriend and I'll see what he thinks.
Thanks!

WDYT of Gage Riley Lawson or Matthew Riley Lawson(popular but CUTE).
