[name_f]Do[/name_f] you like alliterative combos? What sounds do think make them work or not work? What are some of your favorites?

I don’t usually, but there are some I think sound nice. I think Ms can sound good in an alliterative combo (I had [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] Mingxia on my list back when I had a Chinese second middle in my combos).
Also vowels like E or A, if they have different sounds (like [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] or [name_m]Ansel[/name_m] [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] for example)

I don’t usually, but [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] had been popping into my head now and then and I really like it!

I often really like alliteration–I think it can make combos memorable and fun! I can’t think of any favorites of the top of my head, but I usually prefer when the other sounds in the names are really distinct, so that it doesn’t end up sounding overly singsong-y or rhyme-y. I also usually prefer that they don’t include a word name, but there are definitely exceptions to that! I like a lot of first-last alliterative combos too (although all three would be too much for me).

I like alliterative combos! I don’t actually have many on my list at the moment, but as a concept I like them a lot. I think they work best when both names are established as names, particularly with word names, as it makes them sound less cartoony (for example, [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] is lovely but [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Magenta[/name_f] feels cartoony to me.)
Looking through my long list, I found [name_f]Jovie[/name_f] [name_f]Julieta[/name_f], [name_u]Jules[/name_u] [name_f]Jessamy[/name_f], [name_u]Bowie[/name_u] [name_u]Brooks[/name_u], [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_u]Noah[/name_u], and [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_u]Vale[/name_u]!

In the right combo, alliteration can be super fun!
If I remember correctly, @EllieWilbury had Micah Mordechai on her list, and I think that combo is really cool!
I also tend to like J- names paired together… Jesse Jude, Josiah Jack, Juno Jade.
Some more I like are:
Rowan River
Finley Fox
Aster Amalia
Eleanor Eve (if it counts when they make different sounds)
Magnus Mars
Pax Prosper

Sorry this is a boy name but I like [name_u]Hayes[/name_u] [name_u]Hunter[/name_u] (or [name_u]Hunter[/name_u] [name_u]Hayes[/name_u] but that’s a singers name I believe).
For some reason I have it in my head that alliteration is taboo with names so I try to avoid it but I love this thread because it shouldn’t be off limits at all!

I have [name_u]Zola[/name_u] [name_m]Zephaniah[/name_m] [name_u]Snow[/name_u] for a boy in my UC! Typically I don’t super love alliteration but there are definitely combos that just work that you can’t help but like and make me warm up more to alliteration.

Ooo I really like [name_u]Hunter[/name_u] [name_u]Hayes[/name_u]. I was thinking about [name_m]Heath[/name_m] [name_m]Herschel[/name_m] or maybe [name_m]Herschel[/name_m] [name_m]Heath[/name_m]… maybe I’m just feeling the Hs right now 
Omg I just realized that Herseys probably makes [name_m]Heath[/name_m] bars haha

Thank you!
I quite like them, depends entirely on the pairings though. The names have to be different lengths for a good flow, and no matching syllables or else they’ll sound repetitive or sing songy
A few off the top of my head:
[name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] ([name_u]Finn[/name_u] would work as a nn, but definitely not [name_u]Finn[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u])
[name_m]Harrison[/name_m] [name_u]Hunter[/name_u]
[name_f]Primrose[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Ebony[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Paige[/name_f]
[name_f]Autumn[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]

Griffin [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u] is the only one right now I think.

I get it! Our last name starts with [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] and I love the name [name_m]Heath[/name_m] but my mom said it sounded like a candy bar. I like a lot of H names though! Definitely naming my daughter [name_u]Harlow[/name_u] if I ever have one so alliteration would be between first name and last name. Middle name would be [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] though.
