Help with boy's name

So I already have three children, Luke, Anna and Cory, and am expecting another boy. Only problem is, I'm stuck with names. I'd like one a little more unusual, while still 'going' with my existing children's names, if that makes sense. It also has to be pronounced roughly how it's spelt- annoying childhood spent correcting pronunciations!

I like Ezra, Francis and Lawrence, but don't think they go too well with the others'. I like when children's names flow nicely, and don't want DS to feel out of place. Interested to hear your thoughts.

Oh please pick Francis. I love that name and wanted to name our second boy Francis but dh wasn't keen. I think it's so lovely.

Another vote for Jonah here too! Gorgeous name and goes so well with the others. Grin

Caleb would fit really well.

Other names:
Flynn

Jacob
Caleb

Ezra is nice and does work I think as it's the same length as the others.

Tom
Josh or Joshua
Harry (lovely classic name)

I think names "going together" can be quite subjective. For example, I wouldn't say that Cory goes with Anna & Luke. All nice names, I'm not criticising them in any way - but one person's idea of names "going together" may not be another's.

If I was looking for name to match Luke & Anna, I'd think of;

Jack
Sam
Ben
James
Harry
Oliver

.....or if I was looking for a name to go with Cory, I'd think about;

Dylan
Rhys
Ryan
Liam
Callum
Harvey

James flows really nice with the three toy have already.

Gareth.
Nathan.
Jonah.

I have a Luke, and my other boy choices were Daniel and Ben. Not sure if they "go" but I really liked them together x
