VBA Selenium How select an option from dropdown list witthout select?

[bionic]

There is a site with this structure:

<button _ngcontent-hpq-c150="" dropdowntoggle="" id="button-convert" type="button" aria-label="resul1" class="form-control dropdown-toggle" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false"> NAMEN <span _ngcontent-hpq-c150="" class="caret"></span></button>
<ul _ngcontent-hpq-c150="" id="resul1" role="menu" aria-labelledby="button3" class="dropdown-menu scrollable-menu" style="left: 0px; right: auto; display: none;">
<li _ngcontent-hpq-c150="" role="menuitem"><a _ngcontent-hpq-c150="" class="dropdown-item"> NAME1 </a></li>
<li _ngcontent-hpq-c150="" role="menuitem"><a _ngcontent-hpq-c150="" class="dropdown-item"> NAME2 </a></li>
   "
   "
<li _ngcontent-hpq-c150="" role="menuitem"><a _ngcontent-hpq-c150="" class="dropdown-item"> name179 </a></li>

the NAMEN field that appears on the button is the default name chosen in the options.
Explaining better: A button appears with a default name (NAMEN). When clicking on this button it shows me more names that when chosen will rename the original button and execute the necessary routine.
I can get the name in the options but I can't select it for the original button.

I can access the original button with:

driver.FindElementByXPath("//button[@id='button-convert']").Click

And I can go to the new name line with:

text1=driver.FindElementByXPath("//ul[@id='resul1']/li[17]/a").Text

(on of 17 is the relative position in the list of names)
text1 has the desired new name to replace NAMEN

How can click in the chosen name to execute routine?

Any idea?
Thanks

I found the solution:
driver.FindElementByXPath("//button[@id='button-convert']").Click
driver.FindElementByXPath("//ul[@id='resul1']/li[23]/a").ClickAndHold
driver.Wait 3000
driver.FindElementByXPath("//ul[@id='resul1']/li[23]/a").Click

Just included a ClickAndHold, wait 3s and another Click
