Did Claudia Schiffer inspire anyone else?

[name]Ever[/name] since [name]Cosima[/name] was born I can’t stop thinking about the whole matching initial theme. I’m loving it!

So I already have a [name]Dashiell[/name] nn [name]Dash[/name]. One of my long favorites is [name]Dodge[/name] which I used to say was too matchy, but it’s a family name and I really love it. Other favorites of mine are [name]Dinah[/name] and [name]Dixie[/name]. And my husband loves [name]Dot[/name].

So how about:
[name]Dashiell[/name] nn [name]Dash[/name]
[name]Dinah[/name] sometimes nn [name]Dixie[/name]
[name]Dorothy[/name] nn [name]Dot[/name]/[name]Dolly[/name]
[name]Dodge[/name]

If there were more boys I would probably use [name]Desmond[/name] nn [name]Dez[/name]/[name]Dezi[/name], [name]Declan[/name] nn [name]Dex[/name] (because [name]Dexter[/name] doesn’t go with my last name), [name]Drake[/name] or [name]Dean[/name]. For girls I love [name]Daphne[/name], [name]Delilah[/name], and [name]Delphine[/name].

So… what do you think? Good idea or bad?

I grew up in a family of girls with all “J” names and we all hated it. We never knew which one of us she was calling for - from downstairs, [name]Jenny[/name], [name]Janie[/name], and [name]Jilly[/name] all sound the same. I swore I’d never do that to my own kids. So if you’re going to give your children names that all start with the same letter, make sure the ends don’t rhyme.
