What do you think about alliteration in names?

[clarabellarocks]

Like the name Beatrice but our surname is Brewer - does that sound silly?

no it sounds fine.

I like it but my DH hates it so he vetoed my suggestion.
I like Beatrice Brewer
I made a list of people I know and famous people with alliterative names but I still couldn't bring him round !

Personally I don't like the sound of the two names together, sorry!

We struggled with this one because the name we wanted for ds was very similar to his surname.

Eventually we decided that we liked it and it kind of rolled off the tongue.

The older ds gets, the more I like it

meant to add that I like Beatrice Brewer, it sounds good.

as long as her first name and middle name are not alliterative, I don't see a problem. If you aren't gong to use a middle name then I wouldn't.

I can't make my mind up about alliteration in names.

Beatrice Brewer sounds ok to me.

I'm 14 weeks pg and if we have a boy I'd quite like the name James but our surname begins with J. DH doesn't like James anyway so unless I can persuade him, it doesn't matter anyway!

I like alliterative names. DS is S*** Peter Paul Surname.

I LOVE alliterative names, grew up with one and sad to let it go when I married

Love it! Will you call her BB as a nickname?

Aherm, Bibi is already taken
It's what my Dad used to call me, hence mn name.

I'm not a fan of alliteration (in names) myself so wouldn't do it - and I wouldn't have two of my children's names beginning with the same letter but that's just me - not that you're discussing that, though.

Although Beatrice is a lovely name I'm not a fan of alliteration either.

I wouldn´t choose to do it, but if you like it I would say go ahead-it doesn´t sound awful or embarrassing, does it?

i like it!

It's fine :)

I think it depends on the name. As long as it's not too contrived or pretentious, it's fine. Beatrice is lovely, too.
