Rhyming names

I like a single syllable name that rhymes with the first syllable of our surname. DH thinks the rhyming means the name doesn't work.

What do you think? Without giving our quite unusual surname away, here are some examples of the same thing...

Dom Thomson
Jon Ronson
Kim Timmins
Ray Mayford

I love the idea! Names like that sound great. Also love alliteration.

I think it sounds silly.

No, I don't like it

Not keen.

Ray Davies is fine.

Presumably the name is more than one syllable? I can’t see the issue

I think if it's just one syllable it's actually fine. The two names don't rhyme in the way we normally think of it - which is to do with the end of a word, not the beginning.

Not a problem that I can see. Your examples sound good to me. I agree with @bridgetreilly's comments.
