I met 3 brothers today called
Charles (20), Jasper (16) and Joey (7).
WDYT?

Poor Charles only name starting with c and his name is more formal, and Jasper and Joey are so different too
A big age difference of thirteen years between the oldest and youngest brother. Here's my take. The first son gets the very traditional name Charles. The parents wanted something a bit different for the middle boy so he's named Jasper. By the time the last one is born (maybe a "surprise"), they've been here twice before, they're tired, they're maybe a little disappointed it wasn't a girl and just picked Joey because it may have been the first name they agreed on.

I love the name Charles, I think the name Jasper is cool, and Joey isn't really my thing (I prefer Joseph).
Charles is OK, and Joseph would be OK as a full name. Jasper is not to my taste at all - I don't enjoy gem names - and Joey will very soon stop being cute and become embarrassing instead.
