Alliterated names?

[RoseberryTopping]

I can't decide if I like them, what do you think?
Really struggling to find a name for ds2 (due today!) and we came across Lennon today. Problem is the surname would be Lee.

I think if we were to go for it he'd need a middle name, but I can't think of one of them either!

Other names we like are
Jenson
Henry
Dominic
Jude
Rowan

My DD has an alliterative name, both names begin with Ro, she's nearly three and nobody has ever mentioned it!
I think Lennon Lee is fine, I also think your J names work well with your surname

Thanks :) I still can't make up my mind though! I suppose it does make a name more memorable.

DS1 and DD1 have alliterated names but DS2 and DD2 don't. It doesn't make any difference to them and I like them.

Did you get any raised eyebrows when you told people the alliterated ones? We said about Lennon at a friends house yesterday and everyone looked a bit funny.

If your son has trouble with his 'l' sounds, as is quite common, then Lennon Lee could be unfortunate in the primary years (ds would have called himself yennon yee!). I think you need more than one syllable to balance the short surname. Henry and Dominic would be my picks from your list.

What a cool name!

I know many people with alliterative names. One name is always short, the other 2+ syllables.

So yes, Lennon Lee works.

Ds1 does have trouble with his Ls, and yes he'd say Yennon Yee!

Laurie Lee did OK!

None of my DCs have one - but because I didn't like any names beginning with F, not because I think there's anything odd or wrong about them .

Lennon Lee sounds nice, but yes - if he has a problem saying his L's it could be a bit frustrating for him!

Of your other names, I really like Jude but think Jude Lee would need a longer middle name - and could it possibly be misheard as Julie? I have a clearly very female colleague whose name is very similar to Leah Moore - and often gets post addressed to Liam Ore! I have heard her on the phone saying "no, Leah - I am a woman. The M belongs to the surname" .
Dominic - fine name but will almost inevitably be shortened to Dom at some point I would have thought? And Dom Lee is a just a very short name.

Rowan - I love the name & know it is unisex, but would personally only want to use it for a girl.

Henry - nice name. Very popular in this area at the moment. Would the "Ree Lee" sound be a little much though? I think that may be more of an issue than an alliterative name TBH.

Jenson - Not to my taste but goes perfectly fine with Lee .

Who knew Lee could be such a troublesome surname?

I'm being induced on Saturday and DS will have an aliteration name (Henry Holmes)

Lennon Lee sounds really cool imo, like a rock star, I also like Dominic Lee from your list.
