Would this be incredibly cheesy? I'm thinking it would.

We have 3 children, we named them completely oblivious to this, but they now the first letter of their names (ikn age order too) spells the first 3 letters of my husbands name.

I only noticed when I told DH that if I ever had another daughter I wanted to call her 'xxx'

I was sat doodling and wrote their names out with the last one too and saw it speeled DHs name (are you following? )

I really love the fourth name but now am thinking I need to avoid that first letter at all cost as its very cheesy to have DHs name spelled out of the kids!

But I didn't notice for 5 years so I don't think anyone else will.

Dh like the idea

My three are A, B and C - unintentionally! I think it's a sweet idea - go for it.

I think it's nice, especially because you didn't do it deliberately. Most people won't notice, it'll be a cute little family thing. I once knew brothers whose names began with A, B, C, and D, in age order! hehe

Really nice to have meaning to their names.

Not cheesy -as they grow up they all have nice individual names and identities. (Its not like Jamie Oliver with all floral names which are obviously linked as they grow up and talk about their sisters).

Nobody would make the link unless they choose to point it out. Its a good story for them to tell at parties.

Go for it.
