I'm ok with them having the same beginning letter but I'm not going out of my way to do it. My brother and I both start with a "c" but that was just a fluke. I know a family who all have to start with a "k". The grandmother had 3 boys and named them all "k" names and now all of their children start with "k's" there are like 10 people with k names.. it kinda grates my nerves when I see it all over fb
-
I did it with my 2. It wasn't intentional. I loved my girl name since college. She's my second and we had already named our son an H name. We considered other names for her but decided to go for an H name as well. It wasn't a big issue for us to use the same letter, but won't do it again if we have a third.
-
Like others, I'd be okay with it for two (as long as they weren't too cute or matchy), but not for any more than two. There are certain sounds that are over-represented in my extended family (K/hard C, M is getting there) that we will probably avoid, just because it's confusing enough as it is.
-
Haha i have a friend with the initials ABC! it wasn't intentional, they just loved the name. and i wouldn't use the same letter personally unless i really loved the name and it didn't sound matchy with her name.
-
I actually did not want to use the same letter/be too matchy matchy. However, it just worked out that the name we loved for DD2 has the same letter as DD1 and I'm not willing to give it up just because of that reason. My only concern is if we do end up having a 3rd, I don't want to feel pressure to use an E again just because the other 2 have it
-
My mom and I have the same first initial and people got our names confused when I was little, including both sets of grandparents. I always said I wanted my children's names to start with a different letter. But if I absolutely fell in love with a name I might change my mind!
-
My DH and I have first names that begin with M. That being said, MIL, my mom and sister also starts with M. My dad gets confused all. the. time. Even their dog's name starts with M.
I think our family is M'd out! Our DS is W so we definitely broke that "tradition"
I think it would be hard to find another name that starts with W that I would like though I wouldn't be totally opposed to it.
-
I am ok with it. Our kids have the same first initial, but we don't plan to continue that with any other children.
@dc yoga bee: ha, my DH and I are the same way (A and B names) and now we have two C children. Everyone wanted our youngest to be a D name, but that was getting too corny. It is kinda fun to sign family letters The ABCs though
-
@twodoghouse: HAHA this makes me laugh, we ruled out J names for this reason. DH and I both have a J letter name and even though there was a name I liked, I didn't want to use it because I didn't want another child to feel left out, and I didn't want 4 or 5 of us all to have Js but I seriously considered it for DD2. I think Girls are different, boys won't care as much in my mind!
-
I would never do it on purpose, but it did just happen because we loved the name and it started with an L, and so does our middle kid.
Hilariously, our kids first initials spell "LOL".
-
I never thought about it before, until one of the names we are considering starts with the same letter as DD1's name. I've struggled with whether I like them sharing the same first letter...It's definitely cute for the 2 of them! But if we have a 3rd, he/she will probably have a name that starts with a different letter. And is that weird? I don't know. But we may not even have a 3rd, and if we knew for sure that we definitely are stopping at 2, then I'd be totally fine with H&H names:)
-
My oldest is J, my twins are J and N, and then my daughter is L so we have two J names but it's because they are named after our grandfathers so it just happened to be that way.
-
Our names start with different letters but match by both being 4 letter, biblical, Hebrew in origin, names. They also "match" by honoring my parents and DH's grand parents in their middle names.
-
I wasn't a fan of it, but the hubby and my BFF think it's cool. So I'm now considering it. We'll see!
-
As long as they aren't to matchy or similar, I wouldn't mind having the same letter names. Like my daughter is Luna, if I had another kid I would totally consider names like Lance or Leticia, but not similar names like Luca or Lena.
-
I have 3 siblings and all 4 of us have K names (it usually took my mom two rounds to get the right name when yelling at us as kids!
) DH has 2 older siblings with J names, same as him.
When we first got pregnant we both decided we liked Emma for a girl, and we chose the name Ethan when our son was born (it was between Ethan and Kipton). I think we're pretty set on Emma if we do have a girl next, but if it's a boy it's open, we currently don't have another E name, so we'll see what happens! I'm good either way. -
I wouldn't do it on purpose and settle for names just because they all began with the same letter, but if I truly loved the names, why not?
I think it would be hard to find another name that starts with W that I would like though I wouldn't be totally opposed to it.
