To consider if sibling names "match"

I commented on a baby name that I had heard to my DH. Not in a negative way, I liked the name.
I said "X's new baby is called Ethan. I like it. The older children are Lucy and Roberta*. I think Roberta doesn't really match the other two" (not real names)

DH said I'm the only person in the world that thinks that way and what does it matter if names match anyway. I disagree. I think a lot of people consider if there children's names match.

Eg Alex, Stephen, Bobby - yes.
Apollo, Chase and Stephen - no

So YABU nobody notices if names match
YANBU people think about it

It's easier to yell "Tarquin, Bob" than it is to yell "Tarquin, Quentin" but the latter "go" and the former don't!

I just chose names I like, my DC are called Ava, Logan and Harry. Sometimes I feel like Logan might not ‘fit’ with the other 2 names, but me and DH loved them so that’s what we went for

I don't understand the point of matching names? Why do they need to match
