Is this lame?

[tombliboozey]

So am due DC2 in the new year. Me and OH have names beginning with the same letter and were aware but didn't really think much of it when we had our DC1 and happened to like and give them a name beginning with the same letter.
Our friends and family found it a little amusing and in a nice way (doesn't bother us and find it quite endearing) have started to refer to our family collectively by the letter (trying not to put so as not to be too outing!).

So this has put a bit of added pressure when choosing a name this time. Both me and OH said we don't want it to completely dictate what name we choose and have names on our shortlist that do and don't begin with the letter but the one I'm probably leaning most to happens to begin with the letter again and OH is now saying he would rather choose a name that doesn't begin with the letter as he thinks it looks lame and a bit try hard.

So basically what are people's opinions on matching family names - is it ok or have the likes of the Kardashians and Dugger families made this really lame? Would you in our position be actively trying to avoid a name beginning with that letter or not?

My parents and younger sibling all have the same initial, but I don’t. Not once did I ever think of it, and it hasn’t affected my life haha
I think when naming a baby you worry about everything but once you get past the baby phase you realise how minor things like the same first initial actually are!
If you find a name you both love with a different initial, go for it. Likewise, if you find one with the same initial! :)

It's like the Loud House cartoons

I know a family where the parents' initials happened to be JC and CJ + surname. Their son is CJ and their daughter is JC , and they spelt her name with the J rather than the more usual G.
However, I have recently discovered they had a stillborn son between the two children I know, whose initials were NB - so maybe they didn't set off intending to be all matching.
I would break the mould. What if you had a third child?
Although, as my grandma used to say, 'One set of nametapes for all'.
