Along with the specific naming rules of each family, please keep in mind the time period (and place, as that will probably help) each family is living in. For instance, in the Wheeler family, a ‘Jack’ would be completely inappropriate; a ‘Jack’ might be appropriate for the Benjamin family, though; and only a ‘John nn Jack’ would be appropriate for the Cutler family.
There are only three families, and I tried to make them as different as possible, so that there would be few repeats in names. Let’s face it, though, there are certain names that are appropriate for all three families because they are universally timeless.
I’d love to do several rounds, but that will depend on the amount of response I get.
Happy Naming! :)

He was the younger son of the former Lord Cutler, and so, with a thirst for adventure, he set to the high seas. After he had made his fortune and become “Captain Cutler the Bloodthirsty” of the pirate ship
Vengeance, he returned home, only to find his family estate had been passed into his hands by the passing of his father and brother. After the birth of their second son and fourth child, Theo retired from piracy.
