Would you give your DD a first name starting with the same letter of your Surname..

Ie Holly H...... ?

I like the name Holly but DH doesnt think we should as it would sound funny.

My own maiden name initials were CC.

I would personally say no. My own maiden initials were the same - think jane jones but not and I hated having the same initials.

Have ruled out some lovely names for this reason.
But it's up to you!

We have an HH. Thought it really went well! Got for it!

As a general rule, I like double initials - Marilyn Monroe, Ronald Reagan, Robert Redford, erm.... Walt Whitman. Stuck now.

In short, go for it!

I also know a Holly H - it seems that there are a lot of them about!

I was HH before I got married. No worries

we too know a Holly H and were both a bit but its not offensive or ridiclious iyswim?

this coming from the woman who uses her daughters MN as her name as I wouldn't give her D D as initials due to my ample norkage

I know a Holly H and it is fine in her case too.

daisyj · 14/11/2009 20:24

the first name, that is.

daisyj · 14/11/2009 20:24

We know a Holly H. I think it's fine in her case, and Holly is a pretty but fairly sensible name. We are also H and have considered a couple of H first names for the next one if it's a girl - DH likes Honey , but because that's a bit twee (although quite pretty) I think the double H might be a step too far. So, I guess it depends what the name is.

I think it depends on the letter.

Catherine Coleman sounds better than Holly Harvey.

I think two Hs in a row is likely to sound a bit shit.
