Well, just keep in mind that even common well-known names are subject to being misspelled. Ask my husband who alwaysalwaysalways has to say that he's "Phillip with two l's."

---

Some ideas:

---

Adam

---

Aaron

---

Benjamin ( my favorite)

---

Daniel

---

Elijah (or is that too close to Eli?)

---

Joshua

---

Jacob

---

Josiah

---

Jonathan

---

Micah

---

Noah (much better choice than Noam, which is going to be misspelled and misheard and which sounds too much like the old-fashioned contraction for "no, ma'am" No'm)

---

Nathan or Nathaniel

---

Asa (the one Asa I know is Mennonite)

---

Jonas (kind of a twist on Jonah)

---

Adin is sure to be assumed to be a weird spelling of Aidan, so I'd discard that.
Ari is nice, but Ariel is too much established as a female name, and a Disney one at that.
