The name we like starts with the same letter as our surname, we really like the name but we're a bit worried about how it will sound beginning with the same letter, any opinions on whether it works or not? Thank you

One of my children has the same initiall for both first and surname, my mum claimed I couldn’t use it but it made me more determined to do it.

its got a great sound to it,
I love it as does my teen.

From Amy Adams and Billy Bragg to Tina Turner and William Wordsworth, there are many fine examples (although Tina Turner married into that surname, of course).

My (married) name is like this. I much prefer it to my maiden name, its part of the reason I kept it on divorce. One of my friends says it makes me sound like a rock star 😆

I avoided a name for this reason but I don’t personally like it

I know lots of all ages and both genders whose initials are the same, including my grandson! Not a problem at all.
