First and Last Name Sound too Redundant?

I have found that I like a lot of names for our little boy and most of them end in "son". Such as Kason, Jaxson, Gibson...but our last name ends in "son" also. Do you guys think that matters?? It doesn't really bother me as long as he has a middle name that will break up the two sounds together.
i.e. jaxson peterson?? or jaxson nicolos peterson??

A middle name would separate the two -son names, true, but how often would he go by his first, middle, and last name? Even if it says "Jackson Nicholas Peterson" on his birth certificate, he will still be Jackson Peterson everywhere. Nicholas would only used to break up the two names on very formal special occasions or when he's in big trouble. :)
I say no, I wouldn't use a first name ending in -son if my last name ended in -son. They are way too redundant, imo. FWIW, I'm an Alison, and if I had married someone with a -son ending last name, I would keep my maiden name; the matching endings just don't flow.
I agree with pp. How many times do people refer to you by all three names - I can tell you that the only time that happened to me is when I was in big trouble with my momma growing up! At most I used my middle initial in my signature.
I think a fn with -son and last name with -son would be too much, even if they are going to have a nn (Kase, Jax, Gib, etc...) Their first name will still be what they are primarily known by.
HTH.
It's too redundant for me.
Yeah, sorry, I think it's too redundant.
There are names I can't pick because of my last name. That's the way the cookie crumbles!
