Two kids with names beginning with same letter?

Is this common and ok do you think? My dd's name begins with M, and I really like the name Madeleine, so would have two dd's with M names. Just realised don't know and siblings like this, so not sure if it's something people aim to avoid! Thanks! Smile

....waits for the inevitable poster to say "what about the postal confusion when they are older"......

I have two boys with the same initial - they are teenagers and it's not been a problem yet and isn't weird sounding either. If you lik the names then go for it. DH and I also share the same first initial (as each other, not same as the boys too). Out of DH and his 5 siblings, 3 of them have the same first initial - again all boys, it was never an issue for them either.

I have a boy and a girl and their names start with the same initial. It wasn't a deliberate thing on my part and anyway ... You're talking about two independent people here.. They won't always reside together !

I think two would be OK, any more and it gets a bit like celebrities would do.
Do you think you'll have more kids? If there's lots of M names and one with another letter that might look weird. Like the Kardashians - Kim, Khloe, Kylie, Kourtney, Kendall and....Rob Smile
