Lucas
Lucas (1986)

IMDB rating: 6.50

Plot: Lucas is a promising kid, bright, inquisitive, knowledgeable, industrious, but for a boy aged 14 those qualities don’t count for much socially, his daily life in high school is a brave but hopeless struggle against cruel ridicule (nicknamed ‘leukoplakia’) and abuse on account of his frail figure, ‘miniature’ size and athletic ineptitude, while any demonstration of precocious erudition is frowned upon by his ignorant, dumber peers and seniors, fortunately with one remarkable exception: the studly football team captain, generally known as Cappie, gallantly protects the ’shrimp’ and as soon as he gets to know Lucas appreciates his mind and courage, eager to learn from him. The arrival of an attractive new girl in his school and neighborhood proves a mixed blessing: Maggie becomes his best friend and companion, admiring his many talents, but inevitably she soon falls for Cappie the other way, so now his ‘big brother’ and protector seems little Lucas’s rival, however hard the hunk tries to stay friends…

Hmm.. top three would be:
Noah Alan
Elliot Alan
and Lucas Alan.

Lucas Alan
Owen Alan
Dean Alan

But I don’t think another four-letter name looks good paired with Alan. I think Alan would work better with a longer first name and with another name that doesn’t also end in N.

Joseph Alan
Henry Alan
Edward Alan
Thomas Alan

Nothing that ends in N (I’m just weird like that), so Lucas or Elliot Alan would be my choice. Noah is nice too. Others:

Gabriel Alan
Patrick Alan
Samuel Alan
Peter Alan
David Alan
Zachary Alan
James Alan
Bryce Alan
Matthew Alan
Derek Alan
Issaiah Alan

Ohh I quite like Lucas Alan. That has a nice ring to it. I also like Jackson Alan (despite the country singer connection lol)

I’m not too keen on the rest.

We almost used Alan due to this weird family tradition my fiance has.

We originally had Nathaniel Alan, Patrick Alan and Connor Alan. But we decided against those.
