My whole family are J names, DH is a J name and our DD is a J name. All future children will be too 😀 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2258518 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 05:50:23 +0000 IcebergMom 2258518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an "Anna" and my brother is an "Andrew" and I never once noticed the sibling name connection until maybe... Now. Must ask my Mom if it was intentional. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2258495 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 03:55:07 +0000 travelgirl1 2258495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they sound great together. Choose the name you love. I agree with @PrincessBaby: no one will care about initials. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2258493 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 03:50:41 +0000 GrapeCrush 2258493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you love it, name baby what ever you want. If they were twins no one would think twice if both their names started with an Ar...so I don't see why it should be a problem when they aren't. Sometimes, some letters/sounds appeal to people, you can't help that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2258481 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 02:32:13 +0000 shopaholic 2258481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We unintentionally picked the same letter names for our DD and DS. I also thought it was too cutesy, match-matchy, but it was really the only name we both liked. I just say go with what you love! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2258457 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 00:36:12 +0000 lamariniere 2258457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a problem! My mom was one of 8 kids and they all had the initials JLS. My DH is one of 3 boys all with L names. My DH, DS and I are all L's too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2258424 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 23:02:36 +0000 Mrs. Peanut 2258424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: Yes! It's the Ar that's throwing me, not just the A. But honestly, it really won't matter. Go with what you love.</p> <p>ETA: One other thing to consider, are you planning on having a third? It may be strange to break from an Ar then. For example if you had Archie, Aria, and Jane it would sound odd (to me at least). Friend of mine was like that in hs. It was something like Dave, Dan, and Chelsea. Odd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2258149 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 15:24:54 +0000 jetsa 2258149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you like it do it! I like it a lot :). Also I love aria </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2258118 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 14:57:44 +0000 CakeLady 2258118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it is totally fine to have siblings that start with the same initial, I may even do it if we have a second. I do think that Aria and Archie are a little too close (would Aria ever be called Ari? Ari/Archie sound really similar...)</p> <p>FWIW my brother and I have names that start with the same letter AND our first names have the same number of letters and 3 of the 5 are common AND we have the same middle name (mother's maiden). That's a little too much for me. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2257185 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 19:28:09 +0000 PrincessBaby 2257185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 2 H DDs and I think it's adorable:)</p> <p>Also, no one will care about initials! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2257181 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 19:26:21 +0000 woodentulip 2257181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not one who loves kids names to start with the same letter, but if you like it, don't let other people make the call for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2257167 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 19:16:04 +0000 Greentea 2257167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2257138 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 18:44:49 +0000 lawbee11 2257138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't mind it in general but I think Archer and Aria are too close. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2257098 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 18:19:10 +0000 dc yoga bee 2257098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it. We will use the same letter for all kiddos. I picked M's name because I love it, and luckily there are other M names we equally love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2257092 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 18:10:46 +0000 Smurfette 2257092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We probably will use the same letter for both names. But only cause I like both girl and boy name with the same letter as LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2257080 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 17:54:42 +0000 Torchwood 2257080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm mostly in the "if you love it, use it" camp, but personally I wouldn't do those two because of the Ar sound. We did deliberately have both of ours' middle names start with R, like DH's (L and DH share a middle name, though spelled differently). However, with only one of them alive it's not really the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2256899 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 15:45:58 +0000 hellocupcake 2256899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter's name is a nickname and if we have a second daughter we are using a name that is very similar to LO. Sophie and Sadie. I love the names and it's not like they're going to grow up and be joined at the hip. They will have different lives, jobs and friends where it won't be so obvious that their names are matchy. I would go for it. Who knows, they could be super famous one day and having matching names will work in their favor. :) haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2256888 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 15:39:00 +0000 Crisark 2256888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All my 3 girls start with A. It wasn't actually planned but ended up that way and I love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2256879 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 15:30:11 +0000 birdofafeather 2256879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also think the AR start to both names is too close. love archie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2256863 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 15:21:17 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2256863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally, I dislike siblings having matching letter names. It's too cutesy for me.</p> <p>And even ignoring that, I think those two names are a bit too similar to use together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2256821 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 14:52:42 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2256821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahhh the second siblings name's first letter is always such a big decision. Let's say your first two share the same letter and then you have a third. Better name the third with the same letter or he/she is the odd ball. </p> <p>Archie/ Aria and AMG/ ANG is too close IMO, but pick the name you love the most. I happen to like Victoria better than Aria anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2256816 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 14:51:39 +0000 LuLu Mom 2256816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Choose the name you love. I didn't want the same number but my favorite second girl name (our runner up for DD1) is what we went with. They are matchy but you know it works and sound cute together. My fear is now if we have a 3rd, I don't want to use that letter again! ha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2256799 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 14:44:37 +0000 Ree723 2256799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As others have said, I don't mind the same letter for the first name but I don't like when it's the same sound, if that makes sense. So Archie and Anna would be fine with me, but Archie and Aria are too similar for my tastes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2256795 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 14:42:13 +0000 snowjewelz 2256795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan to use the same letter again for #2! It's not for for the sake of "matching", but that the other name we love really is the same letter (and if gender works out). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2256787 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 14:39:45 +0000 Truth Bombs 2256787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: My brother's name starts with Ch and I start with Ca but my mom still always called us the wrong names. Hell, sometimes she would throw the dog's name in there before getting to the right kid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2256782 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 14:38:58 +0000 Truth Bombs 2256782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If they were both just A names it wouldn't bother me (my brother and I are both C names). But the fact that they both start with Ar makes them too similar for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2256778 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 14:38:29 +0000 MamaG 2256778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a K and C, but they both have the hard K sound. I love their names, but honestly they sound so similar we are always calling them the wrong names! But this is two girls, so maybe less of an issue with Boy/Girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2256774 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 14:36:34 +0000 rattles 2256774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It doesn't feel like a pattern to me until there are three, but Archie and Aria are too close for me, personally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2256757 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 14:27:57 +0000 Mamaof2 2256757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you love it use it!</p> <p>I personally do not like that trend of using the same letter </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-starting-with-the-same-letter#post-2256747 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 14:22:33 +0000 Worrywart 2256747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a 3 year old daughter and am expecting a boy in early January. Currently our top contender starts with the same letter as our daughter's name. I don't have an issue with it at all! My hubby and his sister's names start with the same letter as well. It's a non-issue to me. Good luck! </p>
