Can I go for sibling names with the same first letter?

I have an E named DS and think I like Edward for baby number 2. Would us cause a lot of confusion to have two boys with names beginning with the same letter?

Edward would probably be known as Ted while young.

Mine do, we didn't purposely choose for DD2 to have the same initial as DD1 but it was the only name we both agreed on!

They both have a middle name with a different initial, I just wish that 'official' people who send post ie: the dentist, bank, etc would either use their first name or both initials on letters . Post is few and far between though so other than that it's not been a problem.

I consciously avoided doing this but I know lots of families with two or more siblings with the same initial, and it doesn't actually seem to cause them any problems.
