so what do you all think on using the same first initial for siblings? is this a no-no, out dated or totally appropriate?


my bro, sis, and i are all A's- anya, andre, and alessandra-


our ds is Moses, and as of *today* dh and i can only agree on Margot for a girl. but if we have another child we dont want to be all M's, b/c we really like other boy names that dont start with M. agghhh. so is this a no-no and really lame? should we keep looking at

With my two it was an accident and we are not going to continue with any more C names. We plan on having a few more children so we didn't want to be down the road scraping the bottom of the "C barrel" so to speak.

All of my brothers are J names and I am Rebecca. I remember when my mom had my youngest brother (i was 5) and begging her not to chose a J name. His name is Jonathan James lol. My mom and her two sisters are D names and if I had had a sister my mom would have named her Rachel (so J's for boys and R's for girls).

I think it's a personal preference. Some people can't stand it and some people think it's cute. I think 2 that have the same initial is fine.

I think that it's ok personally. If it's the only name you both like I would say use it (I love Margot myself), I don't think you should use a name you like less just because the names start with the same letter, I also think it's fine to name another child with a different letter first name in the future. HTH!
