All three names start with the same letter - bad idea?

One of the 2/3 names we are considering - Alex - would mean all 3 of our sons names would begin with A . what do people think about this ???

I think its fine if you want to sound like the Kardashians.

Confusing for post.

Bad idea? Yes

Both my kids have names beginning with the same letter and I joke we can't have a third because it would get ridiculous.

I wouldn't worry about it really - they won't be living in the same house forever so they won't always be the 3 As, they will be individuals in their own right (and are even when the do live in the same house/go to the same school etc!) .

I am one of 4, and three of us have the same initial for our first name. We all coped!

I dont like it, I find it twee.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 30/10/2015 19:15

I think it's fine if the names are all different - like Alexander, Adam & Anthony for example.

It's when they're Alex, Alan & Ali that it's twee IMO.

I agree with Santa

TiffanyAtBreakfast · 30/10/2015 19:47

Third vote for Santa's logic. The post thing would be very irritating as well.

Yes bad idea... Think on to 18 years into the future and letters are arriving to Mr A Jones. (Which one,)

SwedishEdith · 30/10/2015 19:52

The post thing is very irritating but you've already got 2 As so do with Alex if it's not too twee.
