Hello from Chicago! - Unidentified Plants

Hello everyone,

My name is Matt, and I live in Chicago, IL with my lovely girlfriend Sara...and our new puppy Waffles.

We are a pretty decent pair of gardeners, and enjoy the outdoors. We have just planted some seeds outdoors, now that the weather is starting to get more and more mild, and it's exciting to see what will become of them! So far we have Chives, Basil, Parsley, Rosemary, Oregano, Sage, and Dill planted as seeds!

We also have a nice collection of house plants, but unfortunately we buy from a local garden store and don't really have the smarts to ask sometimes when it comes to what the plant's name is.

We have a few photos of the unidentified ones, if anyone would be able to help. If you can, we are most appreciative.

First one is commonly known as Rabbit tracks or Prayer plant (Maranta leuconeura var. kerchoviana).

The second one looks like an Aloe vera.

I'm not sure of numbers 3 and 4, but number 5 looks like a type of Dracaena, my guess would be the species fragrans.

The last pic I don't recognize right offhand. I can come back later, if nobody else has provided an answer. It resembles thyme to me, but I haven't grown thyme for many years. :)
