Sibling names starting with the same letter?

Depends on the names? If they are similar then yes it's a bit meh..... but for example Adam and Anabelle are fine.

3 of my 4 children have names starting with the same letter, it’s entirely coincidental, perhaps because don’t have the same sound it didn’t really occur to me until I had no4 and she didn’t fit the ‘theme’. No one every says anything about it! 🤷🏼‍♀️

All mine have different initials, it makes it a lot easier for shorthand writing. Eg in my diary or on the calendar!i just write their letter rather than a full name. (I do have a large family though).

What they do share though is the last letter of their name. It’s also the same last letter for both mine and dh’s name. The first one was deliberate and matched the last two letters of mine and my mum’s names. The second one just happened without us thinking about it. By the third, wed realised and carried it on. After that, it got a little harder, but still doable.
To be fair, our surname starts with an s, which makes it difficult for names to sound right with it.

In my family. all 3 of us had names beginning with the same.letter. It wasn’t planned and never caused any problems.. Names sounded different.

I don’t see it as an issue at all.
You name your children what you like and then if the names happen to start with the same letter, well, why would that matter?

Aw you'll be just like Pauline Fowler!

I have a DD and a DS who are both J. Makes name labels for neutral school things easy! But on a serious note doesn't bother me in the slightest, those are the names we loved, didn't plan it that way

If I had narrowed my preferences for the second baby’s name down to just two that I liked equally, then I’d probably choose the name with a different initial if I really liked both absolutely equally. But otherwise I wouldn’t let it bother me and I think it’s absolutely fine.

My daughters have the same first letter, it's the same as mine to but it just happened my top 5 names all begin with that letter. Their names sound very different though.

I have mixed opinions about this. If you have only two kids or a lot of kids with names all starting with the same letter, I think its a bit twee and Kardashian-y and personally wouldn't do it.
I think it's a completely different story if you have, say, five children and it happens that two of them have names starting with the same letter. I think that's absolutely fine! go with what you love x

My three are all CC (2 SDS and one DC)

I think if you have 3 or 4 then it's a bit much as it seems very deliberate. I have two girls both with C names, but they are different sounds, one has a Ch and the other a hard C. It wasn't deliberate at all, it's just that we liked those names. If DH had given in, then we'd have had an L and C but it just wasn't to be. If people think it's tacky then that's their issue.

It don't think it's necessarily chavvy but the post issue is something to consider. A different middle name would help.

I know someone with six children all beginning with L. Someone else with four children beginning with K.

I don't think it gets weird until the endings are matchy too. Nothing wrong with Aaron and Amelia or Toby and Tristan.
Tilly, Tommy & Toby is a bit naff.

Depends on the names. Theodore and Tamsin would be fine but Lulu and Luca sounds stupid....

I wouldn’t personally as I don’t like the way it sounds. It’s up to you though!

They're your dc name them what you like.
I know someone who has 4 dc all beginning with the same letter I also know someone (possibly more than 1 but this one springs to mind) who has first 2 with same letter initials and her other 2dc have completly different ones.

Me personally wouldn't go out of my way to pick a name starting with the same letter but if they just so happened to have the same initial coz I like the name I don't see the issue.

Saying chavvy is a bit chavvy.

I'm keen to name baby number 2 something that begins with a different letter to baby number 1, just because I'm worried that one day there might be a baby number 3 and this would be a problem because:

1. while two kids with the same name could sound either cute or accidental (Rory and Rose, for example) 3 would sound planned, OTT and maybe even a bit naff (Rory, Rose and Ramona - overkill?)
2. what if I can't find a name I like beginning with the same letter for baby number 3, so they're named something different? (Rory, Rose and Kate, for example. Wouldn't you feel a bit sorry for yourself if you were Kate?) I feel like it's the kind of thing that would bother a child. Or am I overthinking it?

(Thought about this a lot as I have a name for baby number 2 that I love but am unsure about as it begins with the same letter as baby number 1!)

I don’t think it’s neccessarily chavvy, I’m not a fan though and I do think it’s a bit tacky

My two do , they were the names we liked. I am fine with it but won’t do the same with a third, that’s too much for me!

I don't like it myself. It feels like they're a "set" it's even worse when one or both of the parents also have the same initial.

I don't see how that would be chavvy
