My godparents’ three sons are Robert, **Raymond ** and **Ralph ** (if that helps)
No one has ever commented on the 3 being “R” names.
I’m one of six. The first three are T, M, and T (actually A, but he goes by T).
The last three are J, J, and J.
The only time anything about the names is noticeable is two of the Js are “Joan” and “Joe.” Which means it’s almost impossible to tell whose name is being hollered down the stairs.
Four of us have nicknames that involve shortening the name. Joan has a nickname that involves lengthening the name (Joanie). And Monica has a nickname that involves a 100 pound 5 foot tall woman being called Moose. Good times.
Sebastian??
As far as the OP, do you mind mentioning how old your big sons are? If they are close in age and the third one is the “baby” by a good bit, the distinction of a non-R name might not be so glaring.
And please, not “Randy”–I’m picturing a lifetime of Austin Powers jokes.
They’re four and two (well, almost; give 'em another month).
…and the winner is…
William!
Thanks for all of your help!
Now if only we could settle on a middle name…
YESSS!!!

Thanks for not using trendy names. The schools are being overrun by Tylers and Benjamins and Jordans. Thomas is a good choice.
I don’t like the idea of matching initials, and if 2 of 3 have the same one you could chalk it up to chance. Or have 24 more so that you can go through the whole alphabet.
My wife took the opposite end of the name to get cute on. All of our girls’ names had to end in the ‘uh’ sound- Sarah, Jessica, and Maria.
I had a friend growing up whose initials were MMM. And he was the oldest of 4, all thier initials were MMM. Much ridicule. Very much. Don’t do it. The kid will appreciate being unique.
