    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I like it with most names. DH though is alliterative and wanted to avoid it for LO.

    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.

    My son is a JJ. 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.
    For a girl it would be an N.
