Brothers with same first initial OK?

Is using the same initial for brothers something to avoid (thinking of confusion with post)or does it not matter?

People start to receive a fair amount of post when they're about 16 I suppose Rockin. I don't know how you make a company include your middle initial in correspondence. A lot of my mail comes addressed wrongly, such as Mrs DP's surname.

It's not a massive deal or anything though, just a bit annoying.

DP used to get really pissed off with his brother opening his post. I wouldn't do it personally.

The post argument always makes me laugh... How the hell old will they be before they start getting significant post. They'll learn to use their middle initial, it's no reason not to use a name you like.

I think it'd end up being really confusing with post, but it's not so much of a big deal. Cheques to "Mr D. 2querty" and "Mr D. 2querty" may end up being confusing, though.
