We all rhyme too in that we (DH, me, DS1, and DS2) have 2 syllable names that end in "an" or similar. It really wasn't on purpose! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-be-weird-to#post-2563066 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 07:50:54 +0000 LuLu Mom 2563066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think if I was #4, I would feel left out having the only non-M name ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-be-weird-to#post-2563050 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 06:43:28 +0000 lamariniere 2563050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't vote but three of the four of us start with L. It's just a coincidence. I don't think our child without the L name will feel left out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-be-weird-to#post-2563004 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 23:30:45 +0000 ALV91711 2563004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a cousin with three kids. His first two kids are M, and so is his wife, but the third kid is a C. This bothers me to no end. I don't know why but I just think the third should be an M too to match. </p> <p>DS is an I and I'd like the next kid to start with a vowel. Both my nieces are A. </p> <p>I really like matching. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-be-weird-to#post-2562886 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 19:06:08 +0000 delight 2562886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's awesome when families all have the same first letter to their names! You should totally pick an M name! Here are some suggestions...not that you asked :silly: Michael, Max, Mark, Micah and Mitchell. I really like Miles too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-be-weird-to#post-2562868 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 18:41:12 +0000 Mrsbells 2562868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont think it matters to be honest. I care more about liking the name than just having all the names start with the same letter. You rarely ever get to say all your names together but you will very often will have to call the names individually </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-be-weird-to#post-2562862 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 18:32:39 +0000 MrsSCB 2562862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: Lol, good point -- once you get to like 10+ it gets weird. And probably even before that... ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-be-weird-to#post-2562861 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 18:31:13 +0000 MrsSCB 2562861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it matters either way! Like I literally just realized my mom, dad and sister all have names that start with the same sound. That never even occurred to me before, so obviously it did not bother me :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-be-weird-to#post-2562852 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 18:10:57 +0000 coopsmama 2562852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say all M's! That's kinda fun for a family of 4. It's more weird for the Duggars because there are so many of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-be-weird-to#post-2562832 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 17:50:11 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2562832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted other because I know a few families who have the same initial and only one is strange (for other reasons). :wink: </p> <p>My mom and two sisters all have the same initial and I've never felt left out. My dad does not share the initial but all the women in the family do. I love my name and never gave much thought to them matching more. I'd give your new baby whatever name you like best regardless of letter- I think the name thing could get a little weird when it seems too forced, which I doubt it will unless you have 9 more kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-be-weird-to#post-2562828 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 17:48:12 +0000 QBbride 2562828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I both have "T" names and specifically went with no T names for our kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-be-weird-to#post-2562827 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 17:46:53 +0000 MaisyMay 2562827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While oyr first names don't start with the same letter, all of our middle names rhyme. Dh and LO2 are Jay, LO1 and both grandmas are Kay, I am May, my SIL and aunt are Faye. It works, and is a fun random fact. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-be-weird-to#post-2562818 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 17:30:20 +0000 brownepiano 2562818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're all J's and although we really don't plan on a third I think we would keep going. I think the Duggars will fade from memory soon enough, so if you like matching just go for it! We just make sure to have a different middle initial. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-be-weird-to#post-2562754 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 15:48:28 +0000 psw27 2562754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted other because I don't think they baby would feel left out but I think it's cute if you all want to match! My brother and I are both S's. My cousins are all C's and my second cousins are all H's. If we have another boy it will probably be a C but our little girl name is an H so we will break the trend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-be-weird-to#post-2562746 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 15:35:31 +0000 youboots 2562746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have friends who are M&amp;M they named their dog M and both boys have M names. I love it. When she asked me to be her bridesmaid it was a note with a package of M&amp;Ms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-be-weird-to#post-2562726 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 15:09:43 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2562726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think your fine. </p> <p>I would more consider, do you plan to have a third baby? If so, do you want another M name at that point? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-be-weird-to#post-2562721 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 14:58:29 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 2562721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Likely the last. And good points re orderly :-) @runnerd: @caterw: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-be-weird-to#post-2562699 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 14:34:34 +0000 caterw 2562699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @runnerd! If the 3 current members of your family all share an initial, I think it would look disorderly to have the new baby have a different initial. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-be-weird-to#post-2562646 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 13:45:34 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2562646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's ok. I know a family that's all Js (parents and 3 kids). She said once she did the first kid with a J she couldn't stop, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-be-weird-to#post-2562640 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 13:43:28 +0000 runnerd 2562640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like "orderly" things so it would probably gnaw at me for 3 out of 4 to have "M" names, especially if this is your last. On the other hand, if you plan to have 3 or more kids, I would probably shoot for all 3 kids to have different first letters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-be-weird-to#post-2562637 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 13:42:09 +0000 SweetiePie 2562637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that an M name is fine. I voted another option because I don't think it's too Duggarish but I also don't think that your baby would feel left out if he or she didn't have an M name. I definitely have friends who all have the same first letters of their names. And I never thought it was weird. You notice it, but I don't think it's weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-be-weird-to#post-2562633 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 13:41:44 +0000 snowjewelz 2562633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like matchy matchy so I wouldn't mind as long as you actually do like the M name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-be-weird-to#post-2562628 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 13:38:32 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 2562628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would it be weird to all have names that start with M? DH and I are both classic 80s M names, DS is Matthew. If Baby #2 is a girl we already have Mariella chosen as a name. But 14 week ultra sound tech thought 95% chance of a boy (which wouldn't surprise me). No strong contenders for boy names yet, and we had a really tough time naming Baby #1. I really liked Miles but now DH isn't a fan. </p> <p>Would it be weird (like too Duggarish) to have all "M" names? On the other hand, would Baby #2 feel left out if he were the only non-M name? </p>
