Help Please - Too Matchy?

Boy Names

Hi, I’d love your honest opinions!

We have a [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] and are considering the name [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], but I’m worried two H names are a bit matchy matchy. What are everyone’s thoughts on this? Would you do it? Or pick another name so the children have different initials as they grow up? :thinking:
Thanks in advance!

I’ve always liked kids to have different initials but I don’t think those names are too matchy! While they both start with an H I think they go their separate ways right after that! I do like when they have different initials that everyone can have personalized stuff without confusion but since they’re different genders I think you can get away with it! Question is that if you want/have more kids would you feel pressured to continue the theme!

Hugo sounds great, and definitely not too matchy.

Harriet and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] sound adorable together!
I don’t think it is a problem to have the same first initial for two children but if you are intending to have a third you might feel pressure to find another H name and fit the pattern or face feeling like number three is the ‘odd one out’ of the sibset.

I think they sound great together! The only matchy part is that they both start with H, which I really don’t think is that big of a deal at all.

I think it’s fine if you love them both

I share an initial with my sister, and while I didn’t love it growing up, it wasn’t a problem! If you love both of the names, they are absolutely not too close. The only consideration is what you would do for possible future children.

Harriet and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] sound beautiful together! They’re completely distinct. The names are not too matchy for siblings, in my opinion.

I don’t think they’re too matchy, especially if you have a third that doesn’t have an H name and they’re not twins!

I don’t think they are matchy. All my siblings had matching initials yes it annoyed me. However if it’s the only name u love go for it

I think it’s absolutely fine, and I don’t think it locks you into following that pattern for a 3rd child or anything like that. [name_m]Just[/name_m] two gorgeous names you love that happen to start with the same letter.
