What do you think of using an alliterative combination for the first and middle name? I think it is a bit juvenile sometimes, but I have a few friends with this, and sometimes I kind of like it.
I love alliteration. I think it sounds classy and lyrical. My favorite boy’s name is alliterative with two Ls. In your list, I love [name]Joseph[/name] [name]James[/name]. I do not like [name]Matthew[/name] [name]Mark[/name] personally, because it sounds like it’s playfully after the Gospels and I can’t take it seriously as a name. I love the Ph alliteration in the last name listed. I feel like [name]Clara[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] doesn’t really count, because of the different sound. [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Ellen[/name] is sweet, but I would switch it to [name]Ellen[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name].
I love it, but I think it depends on what letter you use, and also what the last name is. I am probably going to use [name]Alice[/name] [name]Anastasia[/name] or [name]Amy[/name] [name]Anastasia[/name]. I think it works better with vowels. For example, [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Ellen[/name] sounds similar to [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Anne[/name], even though the latter two don’t start with the same letter. L’s do seem to work nicely, too, though. I like [name]Laura[/name] [name]Louisa[/name]
I really like it most of the time. It depends on the names of course, but when it’s hard to find a flowing middle name I think alliteration can do wonders.
My daughter’s name is [name]Mattie[/name] [name]Mae[/name] and I love it. It definitely wasn’t on purpose and we really didn’t notice the alliteration until someone else pointed it out. I think you’re right though, it depends on the name.
I like it. The I nanny for did it with their 2 oldest, EE and JJ. JJ goes by his initials. The only thing that bothers me is that they did it for the older 2 but not the youngest. EE JJ and MP. Their only criteria for a middle name was a [name]Saint[/name]'s name, so the P isn’t a family name or anything.
My name is [name]Megan[/name] [name]Marie[/name] and my maiden name started with a M. I always loved (and thought it was so cool as I was growing up) that I had three M’s and felt that it made up for the fact that my names were so popular and ordinary. It is super silly but I have to admit that I was a little sad when my last name officially changed to a G and I lost my MMM.
I detest having an alliterative name (first letters match), but I think internal alliteration can be lovely. (e.g., [name]Allegra[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name])
