Not on purpose, I just liked the name. I have another J name if we were to have another boy, but it's just a name I really love.<br /> For a girl it would be an N. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names/page/2#post-1851292 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 20:07:33 +0000 MamaCate 1851292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it with most names. DH though is alliterative and wanted to avoid it for LO. </p> <p>This isn't exactly the same, but I get kind of annoyed with the families with a million kids who all start with the same letter, so sibling alliteration? Like Kelly, Kyle, Kristin, Kim, Keith etc and parents names are Ks too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names/page/2#post-1851236 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 18:51:41 +0000 LemonLong 1851236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doesn't bother me, my daughter's name is Lydia Lutitia Long, I wanted to do another L name for her sibling but was overruled by my husband. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names/page/2#post-1851229 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 18:37:13 +0000 lady grey 1851229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go for it! I always thought Lucy Lu was a really cute name </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names/page/2#post-1851221 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 18:19:53 +0000 sandy 1851221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: Benjamin Bratt, Courtney Cox, Andre Agassi, Alessandra Ambrosio, Lindsay Lohan, all of the Kardashian girls, Helen Hunt, Holly Hunter, Amy Adams, Leona Lewis, Ryan Reynolds, Ray Romano :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names/page/2#post-1851215 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 18:08:11 +0000 sslm 1851215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: LO has one and I didn't really realize it until just now haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names/page/2#post-1851213 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 18:04:13 +0000 Anagram 1851213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I generally don't notice at all...but sometimes I think it ends up sounding more professional/polished--although that depends on the particular name.</p> <p>Our LOs first and last names are alliterative and I really like it (I mean, obviously. I chose it). In her case, I think her whole name sounds like either a news reporter or a doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names/page/2#post-1851191 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 17:30:10 +0000 bhbee 1851191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never bothered me. I had one before marriage (same letter) and after (different letter but same sound). We may give lo#2 matching initials (though doesn't sound alliterative). It's hard enough to pick names without worrying about that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names#post-1851129 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 16:06:26 +0000 Freckles 1851129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: Luckily, we're not naming him Hector Human. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names#post-1851116 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 15:57:53 +0000 sunny 1851116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I agree!</p> <p>Plus Marilyn Monroe, Robert Redford, Ronald Reagan, Howard Hughes, Walt Whitman, Cindy Crawford.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names#post-1851102 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 15:45:02 +0000 PawPrints 1851102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It always makes me think of a cartoon character (Mickey Mouse, Roger Rabbit, Daffy Duck, etc.) Kind of silly for a real person. We're definitely avoiding it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names#post-1851075 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 15:16:23 +0000 MrsStormy 1851075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had this with my maiden name, I didn't mind it at all. My name starts with an M so some kids made jokes about mmmmm or m&amp;m's but really that's not bad at all compared to the way kids can tease.</p> <p>ETA: Other than being alliterative my names do not start or end similarly though, so they aren't rhymey or too flowy at all which I think helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names#post-1851029 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 14:47:46 +0000 sandy 1851029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH's initials are WWW which I think is cool :)</p> <p>I don't mind it at all but of course if varies depending on the specific sounds and syllables </p> <p>Like @Mrs. Pen our last name ends in an "en" sound and so we generally avoided thinking of first names that ended in the same sound </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names#post-1851000 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 14:35:44 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1851000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite is a board bee's daughter (I don't know if she's still here), but it is Harper Holler. Great alliteration! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names#post-1850950 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 14:16:58 +0000 Bubbles 1850950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one (married name), and I had never even thought about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names#post-1850928 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 14:05:21 +0000 MrsScottish 1850928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on if it has the same sound..... my last name starts with Mc, and we love McKenzie but didnt want McKenzie Mcxxxxxxx. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names#post-1850916 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 13:55:12 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1850916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like them. January Jones has such a cool name IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names#post-1850901 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 13:48:13 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1850901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kimberlybee: Hannah would go so well with your DD's name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names#post-1850875 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 13:24:44 +0000 snowjewelz 1850875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think mostly it doesn't matter? Technically I am one of these, my initials are CC? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names#post-1850871 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 13:24:10 +0000 Kimberlybee 1850871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on the name and the person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names#post-1850869 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 13:23:16 +0000 lamariniere 1850869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really mind them. My name, my DH's name, our son's name and our last name (and my maiden) all start with the same letter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names#post-1850867 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 13:22:26 +0000 Kimberlybee 1850867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Hannah Montana totally ruined the name Hannah for my DH. LoL. I want another H name if we have another girl and Hannah was my 2nd choice but DH said no way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names#post-1850865 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 13:21:31 +0000 JerricaBenton 1850865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It just depends I guess. Some sound nice to me and some don't. My first name and married last name start with the same sound amd I like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names#post-1850862 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 13:20:23 +0000 LuLu Mom 1850862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not that I hate them, but I hate them with my last name. We have a very long German last name with a W and I just think any W name sounds ridiculous with it especially as the kid learns to talk or if he/she has trouble with that sound. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names#post-1850861 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 13:19:05 +0000 mrs. wagon 1850861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love them!! Our last name begins with CH, though (sounding like "chip") so we couldn't really use one. All I could think of was Chester Cheetah... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names#post-1850855 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 13:13:23 +0000 travellingbee 1850855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it totally depends on the letter. Softer consonants and vowels don't bother me like with the letter H. My name married is alliterative with a B. I don't love it.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names#post-1850831 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 12:59:18 +0000 loki 1850831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i actually really love it. i always think of andi anderson and benjamin barry from how to lose a guy in 10 days. and i think it's precious! i feel like if they ever have a job in the public eye like politics or journalism or something it's super cute and catchy! our last name starts and ends with O though, so it's hard to find contenders... or i'd totally consider it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names#post-1850825 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 12:54:22 +0000 mrs. 64 1850825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names#post-1850822 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 12:52:43 +0000 sunny 1850822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love them! DH *really* wanted to give our LO an alliterative name but I wasn't in love with any of the names of that initial. We call them superhero names. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-opinion-on-alliterative-names#post-1850821 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 12:51:34 +0000 Freckles 1850821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's comforting to know most don't notice it. :grin: </p>
