Boys names: final 3 - which would you choose?

I honestly feel like I should be awarded some sort of degree for the amount of time, effort and research I've put into coming up with this final 3. All 3 have their downsides, which I shall explain below. Bearing those in mind, which would you go for?

Nathaniel (really love the long form, but I feel it's a bit, well, long, and neither Nat nor Nate do it for me)

Elijah (the popularity bothers me as I want to try to avoid him being one of several in his class. It's a really nice name though)

Evan (not sure it goes as well with DS1's name (Jude) as the other two).

No idea about a middle name as I don't care as much about those - feel free to make suggestions with your preferred choice. Surname starts with a W, for initials purposes.

Evan, 100%
Think it goes really well with Jude
I think Elijah is so popular at the moment and also don’t really like the sound of Eli ?

Nathaniel. Love that name. I don't like either of the other two.

Evan. I'm biased though, as I have one.

Elijah - Eli nn is ok
