Siblings with the same initial

Is it really an issue if your children share the same initial for their first name? I understand there may be some postal-related difficulties, but surely that shouldn't be too much of a problem...?

I wouldn't want my sibling opening my post or us having to guess who it was for.

I have two boys with the same initial, it's not a problem and for the majority of their life they are not going to be sharing a house a horrifying image of them sharing a room with twin beds in it when they are 50 just flashed through my head!! so post shouldn't be an issue - My OH and i share an initial too (not the same one as the kids as I agree that is a bit odd!) and that doesn't cause problems either although it does give me an excuse if i spot an interesting envelope in the post

Of course it is not an issue. I do think it is slightly strange when an entire family (parents included) have the same initial. ( But who give a shit what I think?!)
