I’m changing my name! But I really wanted to know how you all feel about double intitals like monograms of a couple on letters, handkerchiefs, and all random things?
I like the name [name_f]Diana[/name_f] but my husband’s name begins with D. So we’re D&D if I choose [name_f]Diana[/name_f] officially.
Do you like couples\siblings\friends\whatever that share the same letter or sound similar? Does it bother you? If you were changing your name, would it matter if it matched your spouse?
My dad and stepmum share an initial and we never really think about that fact. Their wedding invitations said “Letter & Letter” which wasn’t an issue either.
So, I actually had a couple in a novel I was writing once, one named Thorton, and the other Thomaston (but he went by [name_m]Tom[/name_m]). I realized, halfway through that they had the same initials and created a list of all the couples with double initials I could think of.
I got:
-Tris [name_m]Prior[/name_m] and Tobias [name_m]Eaton[/name_m](Divergent)
-Aaron and Angela (a married couple I know)
-Gena and Geoff (a married couple I know)
-Belle and the Beast (Beauty and the Beast)
-Cho [name_m]Chang[/name_m] and Cedric [name_m]Diggory[/name_m] ([name_u]Harry[/name_u] [name_m]Potter[/name_m]–RIP [name_m]Cedric[/name_m])
And there was some more that I can’t really remember. Also, besides couples, I came up with more “duo” type things, which would be somewhat similar to that, like:
-Hermione [name_m]Granger[/name_m] and Harry [name_m]Potter[/name_m] (should they have ended up together? I vote yes!)
-Maui and Moana (Uh…[name_f]Moana[/name_f])
-Luke Sykwalker and Leia Organa ([name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars) That’s all I can remember!
SO, To answer your question, I would say that it’s fine.
