If you had an Eva, would you name your dc2 ..

Elliot, if it was a boy? Would the same letter for the first name bother you?

no, same letter wouldn't bother me,. prob wouldn't even have occurred to me tbh!

I wouldn't, btu then I have an irrational 'thing' about people having the same initials within the family.

Excuse my typing!
ANd my lack of clarity. No, I wouldn't call the child Elliot, nice though it is.

Yes if i liked it i would
wouldnt even think about same initial thing

Its the only boys name we can agree on!

Yes, if I like it, I would

I don't think you should let the same initial thing stop you if you love the name (at least not for different sex siblings)

Having the same initial as my mum gave her an excuse to open all of my letters - nosey wench .

So, I'm emotionally scarred by the same initial thing and avoided it for my DD's. Up to you though!

I wouldn't. Don;t like siblings' names beginning with the same letter.

my kids names start with the same letter- i didnt even realise til the youngest was a month old! although that possibly makes it worse

Was sure you were going say "Ava"

i wouldnt if i had lots of choices of names that I liked, but if there really is only one you can agree on, I wouldnt let the intials be a deal breaker.

I'd do it.
But then 2 of mine start with the same letter

When we were having no2 we agreed if it was a girl we'd name her after my Nanna

No 2 was a boy and the name we gave him begins with the same as my Nanna's, but as we didn't plan on having anymore I wasn't bothered.

Surprise baby DD was born 20 months later, my Nanna was very ill by that time and it made me want DD to share her name even more, so even though I had doubts about them having the same letter we went ahead with the name

If you both like it then go for it!

nice name

I thought you were going to say 'Wally'

I thought it was going to Adam!

I think with vowels it is less obvious if the names start with the same letter. However I did the other day when I heard a mum calling Tilly and Tyler.

Good choice.

ps just realised they don't actually start with the same sound
Eva is an ee sound
Elliot is an e sound (short vowel)so completely fine!!
