HI, I'm new to this board and hope someone can give me some good advice. We have two biological children and are in the process of adopting a third child internationally. The two bioligical childrens' first names happen to begin with the same letter simply because those are the names we liked. We didn't set out to have them match. Now with our third child, do you think we have to continue with that initial? We can't find a name we like that begins with that initial, but everyone seems to think it would be wrong to use a name beginning with a different letter.
What do you think?
Thanks!

Congratulations and blessings to you! It's really hard to say without knowing what your other kids' names are.

I think style can be at least as important, and I think that using a name of significance to your family could take away any doubt if you are concerned.

If it were I, I'd have another K name...but I like K names.... :)

yours,

I don't think it much matters if the first initial is the same. Someone has already suggested using a family name to show that the child is special and important within your family. I think that is a great idea. You could also pick a middle name with a K or use a family name for their middle name. I also suggest that you can use C names that may appeal to you more that have a K sound. Good luck!
