Do your kids name ending sound the same?

For context, we have Frankie, Heidi. We are due our 3rd in February and we do love Patrick. If our 2nd was a boy, we’d have probably used Patrick!

However I’m aware the names end sound the same the ‘ee’/‘ie’ sounding. So I’m worried he’ll look like the odd one out if we name him Patrick when you put his name next to his older siblings!

Also because Frankie & Heidi are 18months apart very close, and now our baby boy is coming with a larger age gap as Frankie is just turned 6 and Heidi is 4. So don’t want it to seem like I’ve grouped my first 2 and Patrick is the odd one?
he would get Paddy a lot but like Frankie gets Frank / Franks as a nickname, his name is Frankie and Patrick would be Patrick

Thoughts on this? Dh said I may be slightly hormonal and overthinking as it isn’t a problem and wouldn’t be😆😆 but I just feel I don’t know about it!

Other names I liked for him are:

Cody
Teddy
Brody
Louie

My dc have very different sounding names. I don’t think sibling names need to (or should) match…they won’t be a set for life, it’s only while they’re little. Weirdly, though, my dcs’ names have the same meaning. Only realised when they were asking Alexa what their names mean one day.
