First name for Ivan Avraham?

We are due a ds and have the middle names ‘Ivan Avraham’ already decided. Our surname is a long 3 syllable Jewish/Slavic last name that is hard to spell so for that reason we don’t want difficult to spell, biblical, Hebrew or Slavic names. Preferably we’d like the name to be short (under five letters or two syllables) and unusual but not weird or ‘foreign sounding’ due to the surname. Also we can’t have F names as it gives a comedic effect due to alliteration. The only name we like is Flynn but it doesn’t work sadly.

TIA

Together with the other two names George Ivan Abraham or Jack/James Ivan Avraham might work. Work well internationally too for travel etc and unlikely to be mispronounced. Thomas also good I think.

or if you like names ending like Flynn then Orrin is nice too.

Thanks everyone we can’t use the name Jude and dh vetoed Leo due to Tolstoy being Russian (I know 🤨) but I do like Jake from these names however I’m worried it might be a bit popular as a name?

Would you go with Jacob, nn Jake? (I think that would be better/more flexible for child as an adult!).
Also- Ivan is lovely, could be first name?

Probably wouldn’t go with Jacob as it’s very biblical while Jake feels more detached. Ivan is a name of a close living family member so can’t use it - as well as being Russian.

From these suggestions I really like Rory, Rhys, Jake and Rudy.

I think most people would assume your Jake was short for Jacob.
