What do you think of alliterated names?

[catherinemoses]

We have bub number 2 on the way and of course have started thinking about names.
I have a particular name that keeps running through my head but I keep going 'nah, I don't like it when the letter to the first name and surname are the same.'
So what do you think, is alliteration of names ok?
I don't want my son to be known as M and M (Eminem)

[Willow]

I don't think it matters really, within reason. I've heard some shockers but I think most are fine.

My DS is SS - we didn't plan for that, just the name we liked. He has middle names too so it can be broken up a bit.

I quite like Miriam Margaret for a girl, if she marries a Mr M then she'll be MMM, which I think is a lot nicer than having initials "EWW" or "YUK".

[AliBaby]

I think they are fine depending on the name choice.

There are lots of famous people with alliterated names like:

Benjamin Bratt
Jesse Jackson
David Duchovny
Farah Fawcett
Holly Hunter
Brigette Bardot
Janet Jackson
Lenox Lewis
Mike Myers
Renee Russo

I am sure there are plenty of others out there but thats all DP and I could think off.

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

Marvel comics - about 90% of the heroes have alliterative names too.

(Most film people change a name to be more alliterative so they are more easily remembered.)

Our DD's name is a GG...it sounds perfectly fine and seems to flow quite nicely.

[Pandora]

Alot depends on the names and how they sound together.
DS is MM and no one has or would refer to him as m'n'm.

[The[cookie]Doctor]

Should be fine! We are worried about us all having alliterated names, LOL!
We all have initials AS - slightly different, however amusing... certainly has put me off hyphenating when e get married too... A S-S

[No.5]

I had the same concern with DS and ended up not choosing an M name because of the alliteration but I think it was more the nickname of that certain name paired with the surname IYKWIM?

[JellyBean]

I think its fine as long as the names don't rhyme and are different phonetically.
I also think its best when the names have different syllable amounts. For example;
Mike Myers sounds better than Mike Melm or something - iykwim?

[Sammiejane]

i think that it is fine, but as others have said, be mindful of what the initial spell.
DSS begins with M and Molly Jane is also an M (obviously!!) so they are M and M...
Also, something that we didnt really consider is that Molly rhymes with DH's name, which is why her name is hypenated to Molly-Jane so that it doesnt sound like i am calling or referring to her when im talking about him...iykwim.

Congratulations
