Three names ending in the same letter

Having struggled last time, we have thought of a name for a potential imaginary DD. We have a DS already and found boy's names much harder!

Middle names are family names so already settled.

I have been thinking about one of the names we decided against for DS.

I had ignored it this time for imaginary future DS, as it would men that the surname, middle name and first name would all end in the same letter (and be 2 syllables come to think of it).

However, how often would all the names be used together after imaginary birth announcements? So would this sound ok.

I know it's hard to explain without examples!

TIA

Don't think I am clever enough for this.

jaggythistle · 01/03/2011 16:26

haha!

I was trying to think of an example!!

like Fraser Alexander Walker or something.

(it's a different letter but that kind of idea)

I think all three together would sound a bit odd TBH. Also the first and last names will definitely be used together and I think if they rhyme it could sound a bit strange - but it really depends on the names!

They don't rhyme or anything, I think the first and last sound ok.

We are not talking Jason Mason here or anything. Grin

Sorry I can't post what they are!

Anton Leon Jackson? Like that kind of thing?

It depends if they're pronounced the same way, to be honest. I wouldn't worry too much.

Precisely like that lilyberry! thanks, my brain was too tired to think of a good example. :)

They are not pronounced exactly the same - one ends -ax and the other rwo are -ox (x being the last letter involved)

How the hell have I managed to make a simple question look like maths??

Thanks again Grin

In normal life, I think it's rare to say a full name out loud: exceptions are a brief phase in childhood when full name is first learned and chanted a lot (or was that just mine?), on marriage, and during Court appearances.

It's written out on most official forms, and appears on passports.

The overall cadence of the name is probably more important than any repeating sounds within it.

Sounds like it would be fine in that case :)

thanks Blush
