Having such a hard time w/boy names

I have a son named Lucas, I love his name but I always nickname kids. So I call him lukie which I know as he gets older I won't be able to ;)
So now I'm 13 weeks and pretty sure it's another boy, I am having such a hard time picking a name.
We like Logan and Derek but I just don't love them cause I can't nickname them.
Any good boy names with nicknames that aren't your typical joe,Tom,Chris,etc!
Thanks any help helps :)

I think we are 95% on Christian David...

On my short list I had:
Gabriel

How about Andrew (Andy or Drew)?

My son is named Andrew and our lil man will be Lukas. :)

Another name I love, but DH does not Gabriel (Gabe)!

I completely agree about boy names!!!

Some of the names we liked were

Harrison - Harris or Harry (which I don't love)
Jackson - Jack
Carter
Benjamin - Ben
Matthew - Matt
Grayson - Gray
Brennan

I think we are pretty set on Brennan... For now anyway!!!

ETA: I added the nicknames for the ones we came up with...

Derek can always be shortened to "Der" (sounds better when you use it in a sentence than when you read just the spelling!).

Re: Having such a hard time w/boy names

Our top contender is Colton.. I loove it because we can call him Colt, or Cole which DH really loves:) I also love the middle name with a "J" so we can call him CJ

Also looove Caleb as well. We can call him Cale or Lib :)

Re: Having such a hard time w/boy names

I have 2 boys named Adriano and Gabriel. I love their names! I don't have a nickname for Adriano but my in laws call him nano (which I hate lol) and I call Gabriel "Bean" which has nothing to do with his name anyway.... If I have another boy this time around I love the name Benjamin. I can call him Ben or Benjie.
