First name-Surname Alliteration: Totally Tacky or Marvellously Memorable?

First choice for our daughter is now alliterative with surname... I think it sounds pretty cool, but am I making a rookie error?

Definitely depends.

Sometimes super, often owful Grin

Totally depends on the names - sorry!

The letter also makes a difference. I would never do it but our surname is challenging and I wouldn't have a Sarah/Susan/Sephora Smith either. Elinor Evans or Juliet Jones I might!

I don't think it's as simple as right or wrong. It can depend on what the to names are.

Generally speaking though, I don't think there is a problem with it.
