I would love some suggestions. We have two girls, [name_u]Reagan[/name_u] and [name_u]Reese[/name_u]. We’re having a third child, a boy. I haven’t found any R names that seem to be “it”, so we’re back at square one and thinking of breaking the pattern. I like classic or surname-y type names and my husbands suggestions are all not practical, so I need some help! Our last initial makes a difference in initials so we would prefer to not have any initial B names because it doesn’t go well.

I think it would be fine to break the pattern, as I know many families that are like (for example) [name_m]John[/name_m], [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], and [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] where the first 2 kids have the same initial and the last has a different initial.

I wouldn’t worry about it! I think it is probably good to break the pattern now, made even easier since it’s a boy.
Let’s see…[name_u]Reagan[/name_u] and [name_u]Reese[/name_u] have a playful, modern feel, so I will try to match that while leaning toward a more classic, surname style:
[name_u]Arden[/name_u]
[name_u]Brady[/name_u]
[name_u]Brooks[/name_u]
[name_u]Connor[/name_u]
[name_m]Cormac[/name_m]

[name_u]Maxwell[/name_u]
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
[name_u]Sterling[/name_u]
[name_m]Tucker[/name_m]
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m]
Count any repeats as seconds! [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this could help.

I think the pattern isn’t an issue especially since they are different genders. You can tell people that you wanted a R theme only with your girls 
What about:
[name_m]Wesley[/name_m]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_u]Ashton[/name_u]
[name_u]Wyatt[/name_u]

My cousin gave her first two kids (both girls) a K name each. When their third came, they gave him a B name. I see no problem with it.

Reagan and [name_u]Reese[/name_u] are so cute for sisters! I love the unisex/surname-y vibe but that they both still work perfectly on a little girl. And congratulations on adding a little boy to the family!

I like [name_u]Barrett[/name_u], [name_u]Beckett[/name_u], [name_u]Bennett[/name_u], and [name_u]Brooks[/name_u] too but I know you said B’s don’t work well with your surname, so I didn’t include them in the big list. I also like [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] but understand if it doesn’t feel “quite right” with your set or if you want to avoid another R name.
My favorites for you are [name_u]Carter[/name_u], [name_u]Connor[/name_u], [name_u]Cooper[/name_u], [name_u]Hudson[/name_u], [name_u]Parker[/name_u], [name_u]Spencer[/name_u], [name_m]Tucker[/name_m], and [name_u]Wyatt[/name_u]. Best of luck finding a name!
Thank you! There’s some good choices in there.
I would prefer a non-R name and this is the time to do it as I really don’t think a “pattern” is developed until you have at least three of the same, and being a different gender also helps.

If this was tour forth kid, I’d tell you to keep it. With the third, I think it’s fine. [name_m]Just[/name_m] no more R names in the future! 
You probably should keep some sort of pattern- Unisex names, maybe?
Seconding @WhiteGardenia-- now’s the time to break the pattern, if you’re going to! I feel like parents really show their hand, one way or another, with the third child. Of course if you did go with an R name, and then you had a fourth baby, there’s no reason you couldn’t break the pattern then (I know a J, J, J, D sibset: b, b, g, b); but it looks more odd the farther you go.
