First names starting with same letter as surname?

[sleepybee]

Is it too comic book sounding? - Mickey Mouse Bugs Bunny etc or is it ok?

I'd avoid it personally.

Completely fine! If you love the name, then go for it!

DC2's name is alliterative and I think it sounds great. It depends on the name, though. Some names can sound a bit twee.

I quite like a bit of alliteration, I think it works quite well in some names : Anne Archer, Will Webster, Steven Seagal

My little one does, it sounds great I think!

My name is alliterative. I've always liked my two names together.

It depends on the two names.

How could there be a hard and fast rule?

I think it can sound very effective and would definitely be something I wouldn't rule out.

I think they mostly sound very good.

If the kids in your DS friend's school, do not start to call him Willy Warmer, then kids have certainly changed since my school days!

Depends on the name! It can be lovely. Or very silly.

It's quite a classic girls name with an English surname it's along the lines of Emily Errol

Depends on the name. I went to school with a girl named something along the lines of Hannah Hanlon. She never came across any problems. AFAIK

I get told I have a 'film star' name. Sadly the silver screen has yet to feature me, but I do love my alliterative name.

I have an alliterative name (married name). I like it but it is a bit too neat for me!

And yes if it's a DD then they might get married and end up wit an alliterative name even if you avoid it when they're born.

I have it. Mine sounds fine ..... I think. ?!!!

I did have at school and got ribbed for it for the last few years there. One of the bright spark boys realised my initials were a bra size (actually my size but he didn't know that) So I got called 'Double D' instead of my name twats

My rule would be: Not ok if first letter same AND last sound same AND same number of syllables

Eg Sarah Smith - fine.
Bethany Bailey - just about ok as different number of syllables
Billy Bailey - not great

Though just seen a report on the telly from Nina Nanah (sp?) which I an awesome name.

I know a Holly Holland. 20 something now. I think her name is cool.

I love alliterative names but my surname starts with h and I don't think that works.

My son is.

There was a round on pointless the other day, alliterative authors or something. Completely fine

I am very much FOR alliterative names. My married surname starts with an F though so limited choice!

I'm in the minority here then
