... a first name and middle name with the same initial? So name would be SSD, AAB or similar?

My DD has matching initials. It's not a problem for us.

Yes, I don't see any reason not to, if you like the names. In a lot of cases I think the alliteration in the full name would sound really nice.

Not sure why I did two examples there!

The names we're thinking of are Alice Annie. What do you think? We're pretty set on Annie as a middle name.

I think Alice Annie is really really super cute, and seems well balanced. I don't see any problem with the same initials.

I think Alice Annie is a mouthful, but honestly how often do you say a person's middle name out loud?

DS2's second middle name has the same initial as our surname (eg ABCC) and although it looks a bit odd as initials it isn't as important as the reason we had to include that middle name.

I prefer Alice Ann(e) to Annie. But I don't think it's a problem at all. Alice is a lovely name.

I don't see why it matters with the same initials.

Don't think Alice Annie particularly go well together but then my DS is named after his grandads so they aren't great names.

My DDs initials are CCJ.

Yes. Like county court judgement ffs :o

DD is AAH Surname (second A is also Alice
DS is SPP Surname

Has caused no probs

Double nitials are fine. Alice Annie don't scan so well, though both are beautiful. i think it is the S sound running into Annie, Like Ally Sannie. Sorry
