Serious alliteration

DH and I both have our hearts set on a name for our DC due in Jan. We loved it last time I was pregnant and haven't found anything we love apart from this one name. My searches and lists for other names have made us love this one even more. It's timeless, beautiful, and has no negative connotations.

The problem is that there is repetition of a certain consonant, which sounds a bit funny with our surname. Think Lola Lyles, Mimi Merriman, that sort of thing. Does it matter?! If it makes a difference, the name is so low down on the top 500 baby names 2019 list, that the child is very unlikely to have to use their surname to differentiate from others in their class/school/workplace, unlike me and DH!

I think you're going to have to give us some idea if you want an honest opinion!
Some alliteration names will be absolutely fine, others not so much.

As others have said some alliteration works and some doesn’t, but I reckon that if you think it sounds fine chances are it does and if the name is the one you love then for it OP
