A name for our little guy

Why is coming up for a name for our new little guy so hard?  Girl names are easy for us.  We could probably come up with about 5 we could agree almost instantly but boys names are so hard.

We both like the name John and planned that we would name this new addition just that.  Then we got a John our Korean international student who by the time goes off to college will have been with us for 3 years and IS part of our family so in a way I feel like naming the new little guy John is like naming two of your kiddos the same name.  Is it weird to name the baby John since we already have a John here? 

We have been tossing around other names to keep it open my favorite of course is Nolan which J HATES and J likes Franks (AH can you picture an Korean kid named Frank?  DIDN'T THINK SO)

I think we have narrowed it down to - Michael, John, and maybe Peter.  I looked up the meanings of the name prefer the meaning of John as well.

Michael - Who is like God
John - Yahweh is gracious
Peter - A rock

Please feel free to share your thoughts on having two Johns or any other names you might like to through out there for suggestion.
