If you have DC with same first initial...

[Helhugg]

do they get mixed up?

If same gender, of course!

Me and my sister have the same initial. Also look similar so we could ‘prove’ we were under/over 16/18 as needed - worked well for us!

No more than any other siblings I reckon

it works brilliantly for writing initials on school uniform/ stuff you can hand down 😄

So our girls names are 4 letters long, 2 letters (in the same place) are the same. I chose the first name and partner chose the second whilst I was pregnant and a bit delusional 😜

Its not as bad as I thought and we’re nearly 8 months in to having both in our lives and everyone is getting on ok with names.

Yes. But we confuse them with the dogs too!

2 of mine have the same initials for 1st name and 2nd name (not good planning on our part!), but they are in their 20s now and it’s never been a problem.

DS and I had the same initial. I always used my middle initial so that my mail could be easily distinguished. Otherwise she would insist on opening it.

My mother did it on purpose so she could pay my wages into her bank account when I was old enough.

I have the same first initial as DD. The only issue we've had is with the post.

I have the same initial as 1 dd and 1 ds. No issues.
Dc usually get called one of the ddog's name anyway!

Thanks everyone! 😀

Apart from the gymnastics of the tongue when trying to call the one I actually want to come downstairs, no issues.

There were 3 of us with the same initial and it was never a problem.
Nowadays most mail is electronic so even less cause for any confusion.

Not an issue here but I have a friend who has 2 daughters with almost the same name. Five letters, the first, second and last are the same. I just can’t understand it.
