Is it OK to have a First Name and Middle Name start with the same initial?



  • Yes - its certainly no problem
  • No - its awkward sounding
  • It depends (explain)

Well, it didn't hurt e.e. cummings, right? :)

If the names have a good flow, and the combination doesn't sound cartoonish, I think using two names with the same initial is okay. This is especially true if the names have a different sound, such as Ezra Ethan, Cynthia Clare, or Gemma Gabrielle.

It really depends on how they sound together. Some names wouldn't go well & others would. Do you think you could let us in on the names?

It depends on the individual names. If they are similar sounding in other ways too, it might not be a good choice. If they are like the examples the first poster listed, those would all be fine.
