Help me name my son

Due a baby boy next week and need some help and inspiration please.

Surname is Lewis, so that rules out names like Lucas, Louis etc.

Can't use Alex, Ross, Thomas, Joshua or Jack. I'd like James as a middle name as this was my late father's middle name.

I'll list current names we're toying with below, and our reservations about each. Validating or alleviating our concerns would be helpful!

Aidan - I am half Irish and to me this is a perfectly nice, normal name. However, DH thinks it will be perceived in the same way as Brayden, Jayden, Kayden etc.

Rory - is it a name that will suit an adult? Also Rory the tiger and Roary the racing car immediately come to mind.

Max - I like it, DH thinks its a dog name.

William - DH likes, I don't mind it, but if shortened to Will, it doesn't go with surname?

Help please!

Liam is Irish for William. Also Oran/Finn

My sons father is half Irish and we considered the name Cillian. (Would be pronounced like Killian) either spellings are pretty cool.

Rory is my fav from that list.

Joseph
Patrick/paddy

@MikeUniformMike, no I definitely couldn't name him Liam Lewis Grin

Hasn't thought about Will Lewis sounding like a question, I think that's William vetoed. Knew you lot would have some good ideas!

Quite like Conor and Cillian from the suggestions, thank you.
