Why does King Robert III have six sons named John? [closed]

King Robert III married Annabella, daughter of Sir John Drummond of Stobhall around 1367.

All the records agree, they had three sons, David, Robert, and James, and four daughters, Margaret, Mary, Elisabeth, and Egidia.

King Robert the Third had two illegitimate sons whose names appear in the records :
*  James Stewart of Kilbride, 1388-1400.
*  Sir John Stewart of Auchingowan and Ardgowan These six Johns either have to be merged into one profile or else merged with other profiles.
 
The profile with the lowest LNAB is Stewart-1721
Theo other Johns include Stewart-1876, Stewart-2515, Stewart-3264, Stewart-3591.
 
Then there is UNKNOWN-45220 - I believe this profile belongs elsewhere.
 
At this point I'm not proposing merges as the dates don't agree and someone will likely reject the proposed merges. I implore the profile managers to work together to merge all these John Stewarts into one profile.
 
Thank-you!
