[Opinions] Boy names may drive us crazy. Help!
We are expecting our third child but our first boy. So of course we can't figure out what to name him. Our daughters are Thea Evelyn Clarke and Mina Josephine Clarke. We can't figure out if we want to keep our unintentional theme of 4 letter 2 syllable first names. Do you think we should? We'd like something not popular but still familiar and not too out there. Do you have any suggestions at all? Must go with the last name Clarke.

These are 2 syllable FN + 3 syllable MN because that matches your other kids, but I didn't pay attention to 4 letters.
(I'm not including any first names that start with T, M, or C.)

Nico Donovan Clarke
Lucas Elliott Clarke
Ender Gabriel Clarke

I don't think it matters if you keep the theme going or not, it wouldn't be like naming your children Eva, Ava and Jessica, so it would be fine, though, if sticking with the theme helps narrow your list down, go for it.

I like the theme of four letters and two syllables. What about Evan, Arlo, Axel, Ezra, Eric, Toby, Owen, Luca, Liam, Leon, Koah, Hugo, Noah, Milo.
Our 2 boys were one syllable short names, but our DD has a short 2 syllable name, go with what you like
If you want another 4 letter 2 syllable name and ending in a. Ezra would be nice or Luca
Others Dean, Sean, Todd, Grant, Levi, Adam, Eli, Daniel, Ethan, Henry, George, Jared, Stuart, Ian, Josiah, Joshua, Nathan, Oliver, Peter, Paul, Reuben, Robert, Stephen, Samuel, Victor, Vincent, William, Zachary, Jeremy, Timothy, Jonathan, Benjamin, Jude, John

I don't think you should try to keep a theme.
A child isn't limited by his siblings. If the boy had been born first, you would have named him without regard to a theme. The theme is just a vanity.
You should name him the name you think is best.
I don't personally tend to like boy names in what I consider to be the same style as Thea and Mina, so I'm not sure I could recommend one.
But, here are some names I don't dislike, that I consider could have a similar style to Thea and Mina:
Hugo - which happens to fit the theme
Colin
Duncan
Gilbert "Gil"
Leo
Mateo
Peter
Henry
Oliver
Jamie
Gordon
Alden
Truman
