Alliteration names?

How does everyone feel about them? The first name we have chosen starts with the same letter as our surname. We've not told any family the name but today names (once again) came up for discussion with family members, and it seemed the general view was names shouldn't have the same letter as the surname.

Just wondered people's opinions. Thanks.

Love them. Very distinctive, in a good way

(mines alteration but it's never bothered me as they are long and sound different.)

break it up with the middle name and it will be fine.

DH has an alliterative name, both first name and last name also have one syllable. Not what I would choose.

A boy in my class at school 20 years ago had the initials CCCC, at least it was memorable! I think it depends what the names are and how they sound when said together. Is the alliteration noticeable or not?
