Name question

Alissa

Our first son's name is Mason. If we have a boy next, we really love the name Nathan. However, Nathan tends to be what people hear if they mishear me say Mason (typically elderly woman 🤷🏻‍♀️). That being said, is Nathan too close sounding to Mason? (Try them out loud if you need to!) We could also go with Nathaniel, which I like, but not quite as much, and nickname would end up being Nate regardless.
