Bilingual Boy Names

Hello everyone,

We found out a few weeks ago that we are having a boy. We had quite a few girls names but boys I'm finding a bit trickier. We are a German/English family, so ideally we'd like names that sound similar in both languages or at least are pronounceable in both.

I think taste wise we are slightly more traditional. We have a long list of maybes so far but nothing is sticking somehow. Any opinions on our names or further suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

James (I know a lot in their late teens/early twenties at the moment but no younger children it seems)
George (so many younger children with it at the moment)
Benjamin (But not a fan of Ben so might be a Nono?)
Benedict
Jacob
Logan
Henry
Jasper
Edmund
Edward
Nathaniel (Nate, but th could be an issue in German)
Albert
Leopold
Samuel
Ezra
Sebastian
Christopher
