What do you think of alliteration??

[RhiChiChi]

I don't mind it but I have often wondered if the names picked are really their fav names then? Iykwim?

[~Hestia~]

Personally I'm not a fan. This may be off topic but my sister has a bigger problem with all the letters in her kids names being 'above the line'. So no f, g, j, q or y!

I don't get "above the line" - what does that mean? Is it that all the letters have to be level on the line when writing?

Exactly When picking names for her son she loved a particular name but because it had a g in it, she couldn't do it.

I always wanted for our kids to have "their own" initial, which wouldn't be the same as DH and me or their siblings, or our last name ...

But DS is Joshua, and DH and I have completely fallen in love with the name Judah as a first name ... so at the moment, the name is winning out over the intention of them having their own initial!

But unless and until we find a boy's name we like more (or if ziggy is a girl!) at the moment, it looks like we'll have two Js

Incidentially, I also like the names Jacqueline, Jessica, Julia and Jasper, but DH has vetoed all of those, so chances are, if ziggy is a girl, she will not be a J

My name begins with C, and so did my sister's name
My two brothers both have names beginning with J.

It was J, C, J, C...

Confusing with mail growing up, but now nobody gets mail, so it doesn't matter anymore I guess...

I don't really mind it but it does remind me of the dr seuss story "too many daves"
"Did I ever tell you that Mrs McCave, had 23 sons and she named them all Dave"

we have the same name thing going on with the males but instead of using as DS1 first name- we gave him two middle names, but reversed each generation

so its Name 1 , Name 2, Surname- great grandfather
Name 2, Name 1, Same surname- grandfather
Name 1, Name 2, Same surname- father (my DH)
Own Name, Name 2, Name 1 , Same surname- my son

are you totally confused now ??? LOL
in other words every 2nd generation have exactly the same names, and the ones in between have the same names but reverse order

I get it - I have friends where something similar happened for the male siblings with every generation. The first born boy was Charles and the next Francis - then when Charles had boys the first born was Francis and second Charles; for F the first born was C and the second F.

Fortunately the brothers I know both had 3 girls each and broke the cycle They were both rapt!

There's a Judah at our mainly music... and she's a girl

Very true.

And det - yes, I am confused!!!!

[crumpet]

well we are a S family, not intentional in any way!

DH is Shannon
Im a Sam(antha)
DD is Summah

Summah just happened to be the only name DH liked that i agreed with so thats what she got.... our middle initals are all different, C M and J... mail will be interesting when DD is a bit older

im a bit torn for if we have another one, id feel bad if next child felt left out without a S name, but i also dont want ppl to think we deliberatly had a all S family....
