3 boys with -an ending names

Hi All,

Just found out I'm expecting baby #3 in March and I'm so excited! I am convinced it's a boy since my other 2 are boys...I don't think I'd even know what to do with a girl! :)

My two boys are Justin and Nathan. I really like the "-an/-en/-in" ending names, and I wanted to know if you think naming a third boy with a name like that would be too much? Or should I go with something that sounds completely different? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I also love names with that ending. As evidenced by the fact that I married Ryan, have 2 boys named Brendan and Aaron. I have a third boy and could not agree with Dh on another name with that ending (I really wanted Cameron!), so we ended up naming #3 Joshua. So my other favorites for you would be:
Brendan :)
Aaron :)
Ryan :)
Cameron
Gavin
Brayden

I also know a little one named Tristan, but that isn't my favorite.

Hope your pregnancy is going great!

I don't think there's any problem with -an or similar endings, but I would avoid a -than/en/on or -stin/on/an because they would be so similar to your other boys. I like
Bryan, Landon, or Carson for you.
