Boys Names Starting with The Same Letter as Surname?

[MumAnAHalf]

Hi all!
I've just found out Im going to be having a boy this time! I love names that start with C but our surname begins with C too. DH thinks its "overkill" to have two C's - what do you think? I love Callum, Christopher and Kevin (ok not a C but near enough!!!!!!).

No! Kevin is awful (imho)!!!!

Also think Dylan Douglas, Rocco Ritchie (and there is another one but cannot remember it!)

Dont like it myself.

My real name has the same sound at the start! I like it...makes you sound interesting.

I think this is fine - can sound quite strong (in a good way) imo. But perhaps throw in a middle name with a different letter too!

I quite like illiteration in names. However, I seem to be in a minority. I like the name Rosa if this baby is a girl, but our last name starts with R so DH says NO WAY .

Actually i quite like it - its got a 'film star' quality to it

There a few exceptions however, for example two W's, say like Wendy Wood >>disclaimer, i am not dissing the name Wendy Wood!

i like finley for a boy but our surname is F and dh says fat finley f - fat chance!!

I don't like it and it meant that I had to leave out quite a few nice names with my last dc.

I'm not keen.

Have to say Kevin is not a great name for a baby these days - most Kevins are about 40-45 now. Bit like Tracey, Trevor and Sharon (sorry)

Christopher is good and so is Callum, tho perhaps better if you are Scottish imo. Christian is nice too. Or Cillian or Cyrus if you fancied something a bit different

Alliteration worked out fine for Christopher Columbus

Cameron or connor are nice,what about a name witha hard "c" in the middle like Marcus

I think it really depends on the rest of the name. It is not something I would rule out regardless.
My position on names is that, if you find a name you and your DH like then go for it.

I have a C surname, my nephew is Calum. The two together do not flow in my opinion.

I wanted Campbell for a boy but it most definately sounded awful with my surname.

I do know a Christopher Cooper though, which is ok, although he is always known as CeeCee.

Nothing wrong with alliterative names. Seem to do Norma Jean the world of good when she became Marilyn Munroe!

my dd1's first and last names start with the same letter

i think its FAB and COOL

they both have the same number of syllables (3) if that makes a difference, although i should nt think it does

Has anybody mentioned Moses Martin!? (Gwynnie's boy)

She's pg again, Blimely on tenterhooks to see what she calls the next one!

PS op, love Kit short for Christopher. I'm not ready for Kevin again yet though. Kevins all have beer bellies.

nah, don't worry about first and last names starting with same letter. dd1 has this.

I like it actually

I don't mind it at all. Christopher would be my choice from your list.

I have CC - Charlie Cxxxx - Sounds fab IMO

I have a CC too - Caleb CXXX and DH is a CC too. Wasn't intentional, we just loved the name Caleb and it flows very well with our surname.

is Gwyneth pregnant? madame cholet?

Wow. That's weird, I must have dreamt it!!

Dp J,J and ds is also J,J The two 'J' names flow well with the surname!

DS is a TT - I love it!
