Need ideas for boy names!

Hi everyone. I'm going out of my mind trying to come up with a boy name. As some of you may know from past posts, my friend used Ethan, which has been the only name I have ever considered, and I just can't come up with anything else. I was going to use Ethan anyway, but my DH doesn;t want to do that. So I'm back to the drawing board. I have come up with a few ideas, but nothing that I LOVE. Sisters are Ashley and Abigail (Abby). The middle name is set to be Lee (DH mn as well as his dad's mn). My ideas are below, but I really need some suggestions. You guys come up with some great names on this board, so hopefully you can help. TIA!

My ideas-

Eric Lee

Jacob Lee (Jake)

Brady Lee

Ian Lee

Any other ideas?

Oooh! Evan Lee!! I love it! Normally I would vote for Ian - it's one of my all-time faves. But I'm not crazy about Ian Lee as a combo. But Evan Lee is terrific.

I'd have to say from your list I think Ian fits the bill best. It actually sounds a lot like Ethan (but without the TH) when you say it, so it's definitely got the sound you were going for. Others similar to Ethan I like are Evan and Austin (our choice if the US was wrong lol).

What about Nathan or Evan? Similar to Ethan, but not the same.

First name that came into my head was Evan (as it is a fav of mine) and I see that has been a common suggestion.

My great-grandfather (named Evan) actually pronounced it "even," which is apparently the older Gaelic/Celtic pronunciation.

Another idea retaining the e sound is Eamonn. (a-mon) which I am fond of as well.
