How bad would it be to have all three of my children's names begin with the same letter - ironically, "J". Our sons are James and John and I can't get away from how much I love the name Mary Josephine (nn Josie). Mary is my mother's name as well as my husband's (who died in 2000) and Josephine is actually MY middle name!

I really want honest opinions b/c I would NEVER go out of my way to pick names starting with the same letter - and if it sounds weird, then I'll find something else.

Thoughts?

I've thought about MJ, but all I can visualize is the girl from Spiderman. Silly, I know, but true.

Hello there!


I don't think that James, John and Josie would be that bad. I mean you've already got James and John so would you want Baby #3 to feel "left out"? I think that Mary Josephine is great. It's not like you are naming your children Jayden, Brayden, and Cayden. That would be bad. I think that James, John and Josie is a cute, solid sib set! I like it! If you like it, go for it. I love how there is family names mixed with your mn and you like it. That is pretty rare!


HTH!

While I probably wouldn't do it I don't see anything wrong with it.

Hey, since you're not going out of your way to do it, and she'd have Mary there in case she didn't feel like matching her brothers...I think you're fine.

i don't think there's anything wrong with having your kids names start with the same letter.

I am way not into the same-letter-name thing, BUT Mary Josephine starts with M, and only her NN (Josie) starts with J.
