Very similar first name and surname.

[Milasmummy]

what’s the consensus regarding the surname sharing two letters from the first name.

Examples are:
Freya Farmer

Heidi Hayden

Is that a no go? Too mean?

Thanks!

My married name is like that it's ok but I definitely would not deliberately do it naming a child. Day to day I've always used the short version of my name which makes it better.

Illiterate names - any suggestions?
Cantread Smith?

I like them! Just as long as names don't rhyme you're fine.

There was a girl in my class called Cassy Cassidy. Caused her no problems

Our surname is Harvey, DH really likes the name Henry.... Henry Harvey is that just wrong? We are really struggling to come up with a boys name we both like. He would get the middle name James but it would rarely be used!

I like Henry Harvey. I’ve seen, on instagram, a new baby called Loxley Harvey. The double ey is awful to my ear and I don’t like the name Loxley, bit of a tongue twister. Henry sounds good though

I’ve taught a William Williams, Marie Murray and a Paul Hall!

I went to school with someone who called their child Jayden Hayden ( surname is Hayden ) and it sounds odd to me.

I know of a May Day ( married name) whose friends then always called her May Day rather than just May
