Maybe it's that some of them don't have good relationships with their parents, but it can't be the case with all of them - why not ask a parent what they would have called them if they had popped out a boy/girl instead of a girl/boy?
In my White Bread culture, first born sons are given the same name as their father. I guess I would go with that, and then go with a nickname or shortened name that goes with that.

Scottish names are interesting - Jack is used instead of "John" or Bob or Bil or Willl instead of "William" It's partially because, starting in the Middle Ages, rhyming names were trendy. It's also partially because, with the tradition of having the same name as your father and grandfather, people wanted to have their 'own' name and people wanted a way to not get confused when talking about other people.
