Need a one-syllable boy name

Hi! Not due until May and not sure what we're having yet, but we're having trouble agreeing on a nice boy's name. DS #1's name is Max (short for Maxwell). We like one-syllable names for boys, or at least names that have an easy one-syllable nickname (nothing that's a stretch). DH's name is Brad, short for Bradford. Any good ideas? We don't care for anything that's too common (no Jon's for Jonathan) or too trendy (no Jack's for Jackson). Thanks!
