Help name Jack and Luke's brother! Po...

Help name Jack and Luke's brother! Potential problems listed in parenthesis. . .
- Evan (current favorite, but last name ends in "-an" sound, too)
- Michael (#2 in our area - too formal?)
- Ryan (#3 in our area)
- Scott (too 1960s?)
- Mark (also too 1960s?)
- Thomas (too formal compared to brothers? Not crazy about "Tom")
- last name starts with a hard "C," two syl., ends with -en/-an sound
- It's hard to name the 3rd of the same sex!
- other suggestions?
You will be able to change your vote.

I like both Ryan and Scott for you, depending on your ln. You mentioned it ends in the en/an sound as well, so it might not sound that great. Ryan Caden, for example, sounds very repetitive/rhymey. My vote, therefore, would go to Scott for now.
Since Jack and Luke are both one-syllable names ending in the K sound, I'd try to avoid that for the third. It gets a bit too cutesy and confusing, KWIM? That would eliminate Mark and possibly Michael (if you think he might ever shorten it to Mike, Mick or Mack). I do like Miles for you, if you're open to suggestions. I prefer it as a given name, since Jack and Luke are also short, one-syllable names, but it can be used as a nn for Michael, if you like.
I'd also eliminate Evan from your list, since both Jack and Evan are forms of John, so it seems a bit odd. Almost like Luke should have been Ian or Sean. I'd let him have his own individual name. You may like something similar, however. Ewan, for example, is only one letter off and not related to John. ;)

I really like Scott with the other two!

I completely disagree with the first gal who replied and think there is only ONE name for this baby! And that name is ...

IKE!!!
How could you NOT name this baby Ike? Jack, Luke and Ike. Doesn't your heart just go, "YES!!!!!" Lol ... we have a son named Ike (Isaac, but now I wish we would have just named him Ike), and I love the name Ike. If I had a Jack and a Luke already, there's NO WAY I'd do anything but Ike. Well, except if you plan to have more and might have MORE boys, then you'd have to think through the other "K" names ... Mike, Kirk, Jake, Zack, Mark ... and see if you like them well enough, too. I ****like**** the theme you have going here. Enjoy!

Hi there.
I love Jack & Luke for brothers; how cute!
Here are my thoughts on your list:
Evan-This is really nice & works well w/Jack & Luke. However, I'd stay away from it if your ln ends in an 'A-N' too. It just seems repetitive.
Michael-It is popular, but I do like Michael. It's a classic, & goes nicely w/Jack & Luke. I think the nn Mick would be awesome w/your crew.
Ryan-See Evan, but I still like Evan better.
Scott-Nah, it's not too 1960s. I'm just not loving it though.
Mark-Same as above.
Thomas-Maybe a tad too formal w/Jack & Luke, but it is a great name.
What are your thoughts on names typically thought as nns for full names? I think a Drew or Sam or a Ben would be great for you, but Andrew, Samuel, or Benjamin seem like too much. Perhaps I'm over analyzing.
Anyway, here are some more suggestions:
Alec
Alex(ander)
Abe(l)
Ace
Ben(nett/jamin)
Burke
Cole
Chase
Charlie/es
Clark
Cal(vin)
(An)drew
Danny/iel
Eli
Elliott
Eric
Emmett
Edward/Ned
Finn
Gray
Grant
Henry/Hank
Hugh
Max
Noel
Nolan
Owen
Oliver/Ollie
Philip
Patrick/Patch
Quinn
Rafe
Sam(uel)
Stew(art)
Simon
Tate
Tim(othy)
Travis
Ty(ler)
William/Billy
Walt(er)
Wes(ley/ton)
Hope this helps!
I find that Ryan has the same rugged, athletic, masculine feel that Jack and Luke have.
Evan- a bit boring, repetition causes bad flow with last name
Michael - too common, a bit boring
Ryan (#3 in our area) - love it
Scott (too 1960s?) - Like this a lot actually
Mark (also too 1960s?)- I do find it a bit outdated
How about...
Kyle
Marcus (a bit more substance than Mark)
Matthew
Sean
Christian
Ashton
Quinn

I voted for Thomas because I've always liked that name and now I'm all over Thomas Finn.
