Too similar a name?

[Kailani]

Mel I think having another A name is perfectly okay. As long as it doesn't *sound* too similar then it's fine.

FWIW, DP is 1 of 4 boys and they all have "A" names - just because the parents liked those names! The same letter didn't hold them back. Oh and mil's name starts with an "A" too

I wouldn't worry about it. But would you be like me & feel that Miss M is left out coz she doesn't have an A name?
I feel like I need another baby just to have another B in the fam, lol.
If you are happy with the name, go for it

I don't think so. My two are Lily and Liam. Before Liam was born I was a bit worried about the L's in their names but now it doesn't sound strange to me. They also have different middle name initials, and I use their middle names on everything- LKS and LJS, so that differentiates them a bit more too. I also think of it in the future when they are grown. It wont matter when they are adults what their siblings names are. I don't get them confussed either which was another thing I was worried about. Believe it or not I get more confussed when with my neice and nephew (Justin and Ashley), their names are completely different to my kids, but they all end up being each others names!! (Its usually "Justin, no Lil, Liam.....NO ASHLEY arrrrgghhhh whoever you are, come here!!!")

I avoided repeating first intials because, for example if something came in the mail for A Surname then I guess i'd like to know who it was for without having to rip open the letter. Plus lots of things just have a first initial and the surname... like the sports captain board at school... it was like J.Smith, B.Jones, C.Johson etc etc etc. Plus for me... I do lots of cross stitching samplers that include the initials of all our family... we all have a different initial which makes it clearer who is who.
But it's a personal preference thing. Think of the Duggar family.... they have 18 family members that have the initial J!!! Imagine what they do when a letter comes in the mail for J.Duggar!!!

Gawd. I'd run out of names! lol

I know what you mean bout the initials being the same, I never quite experienced it, my dad is an M as well, and my nana is a MJ same as me, but we never lived in the same house, so didn't have a problem with mail. I think I actually liked the fact that my initials were exactly the same as my nan's though

Eww I've just realised that if I do go with this - if it is a girl - her initials will be nearly exactly the same as my mother in law - except I'll have A.E.G.D cos I'll chuck my mum's name in there as well - whereas MIL is A.G.D. Gawd. She'll probably think I've done it deliberately because she's special or something lol

Kel - hahahaha!! I do that here just with my two, and the two cats.. and the dog.. always yelling at someone - the wrong name always comes first. So many times I have called Miss M "Kruger"... LOL
