Alliteration names.

[LauraHN95]

Hi, I'm just looking for opinions alliterative names! I adore the name Chester, it has always been my top boy name but my last name also begins with Ch... Lets say something like Chester Charles/Charleston/Charlesworth would it sound right?!

If it would be more like Chester Charleston with a ch and t sound, it's a bit of a tongue-twister. Chester Charles isn't too bad.

@user1493494961 Yeah it's really hard to ask for an opinion without giving away my surname haha

Thank you tho, my surname is closer to charles there isn't the harsh T sound in it :)

Just mwkes me think of the city

At least Chester is a beautiful city to share a name with!

I'm good with name alliteration. I must be because my DD initials are EEE

I like alliterative names.

I love alliterative names and have one myself...

I love alliterative names (my dd has an alliterative name) and i love the idea of a double "Ch Ch" sound.

Something like Chester Paul Chapman would sound fine imo OP.

My DD would have had an alliterative name if she'd got to full term, they can sound great!

Chester is the name of a clown, so I think a'ch' surname just makes this more extreme. As long as not requiring to be taken seriously I think it's absolutely fine.

@alonelonelyloner I've never heard of Chester the clown so I don't think I'd have a problem with that association.

I'm not sure if your comment was intended to come across a little rude and sarcastic, so I apologize if I have misinterpreted but obviously I don't intend to give my child a name which would cause them to be seen as "silly"

You could think of it as a superhero name a la Bruce Banner!

@LauraHN95 oh goodness no I wasn't intending to sound sarcastic or unkind. Many apologies. I've reread my post and oh totally comes off that way.
I'm sorry. I was obviously having a bad/stupid day.

@AloneLonelyLoner no worries! It’s really hard to tell sometimes just by a message. I’m a sarcastic person in general and sometimes people can’t read it or misinterpret so I get it :)

I didnt do it, I was scared of alliteration, I now regret it. My little whirl wind deserves a super hero name

@LauraHN95 I knew a Chelsea chapman too and didn't think it sounded weird at the time

Love alliteration names, go for it!

If your surname is actually Charles rather than one of the other ones mentioned, I’d be a bit worried that he’d have a future of having to frequently clarify which is the forename and which the surname.

I love alliterative names. I have one through marriage and it makes me smile, it's happy.

I like the name Chester but don't like alliterative names so I wouldn't.

I’m so jealous of everyone with an alliterative name

I too have an alliterative name through marriage and I really like it. It is a cause for comment on occasion, but always positive, and as a PP said it can make you stand out from the crowd in a nice, gentle way.
