Hi just wondering I already have a son with R initial and hubby has R initial I have T initial and my daughter 2nd child has l initial the name I have chosen for our son due in a few weeks also starts with an R would you do it?

Think Ricky,Ronnie & Riley ( not actual names) when said seperately or in family age order it's fine just when all male names said together as above

Thanks

I have a ten year old and an 8 year old with the same initials.

Hasn't caused any issues apart from me getting in a tongue twist sometimes when I'm mentioning their names!

You have to be careful with using the same initial for your dcs otherwise this could happen

We have given our children different initials for the same reason.

My DH, FIL and MIL all have the same first initial so if a letter arrived with just initial and surname they just had to guess who it was for. He hated it as a teenager. My 2 DB also have the same first initial and they also fight over post.

No- horrible for them later on when they can't be sure they are getting the right post.
