Boy names similar to Douglas or Gordon?

I like Douglas and Gordon for a boy but my partner has pointed out the nn issue (I didn't realise, but Gordon -> Gord-o!?)

He votes for John, which I am unsure about - boring? solid and traditional?

The surname is a 3 syllable Mac name

I have gone through the usual lists, baby books etc and am stumped. I would like a name to jump out and announce itself but it doesn't seem to be likely (due in a month and no boy names yet, lots of ideas for girl names.)

Hamish? I LOVE that name.

Gaelic for John - Ian/Iain?
What's wrong with nn's? Round here Gordon's are called Gogs anyway Grin

If you like Douglas and Gordon, look for Scottish surnames - that's what those names are originally, and that's a Scotish tradition. Also place names, like Moray, Angus etc.
