From [name]Abigail[/name] [name]Adams[/name] to [name]January[/name] [name]Jones[/name], history - and reality - has provided us with some marvelous monikers. Alliteration provides names with a sense of whimsy and melody that is hard to pass up, so I ask you, my fellow Berries, what are your favorite alliterative first-and-last-name combinations from history, celebrity, or reality (that’s right, [name]Mary[/name] Mahoney, this one’s for you!)?
[name]Lemon[/name]
[name]LEMON[/name]: [name]Cecily[/name] Cardew [[name]Oscar[/name] Wilde’s The Importance of Being [name]Earnest[/name]]
I’m going to go with [name]Peter[/name] Pevensie from C.S. [name]Lewis[/name]’ The Chronicles of [name]Narnia[/name].
P.S. I’m sorry to bring this up but [name]Cecily[/name] Cardew doesn’t really count as alliteration since the sounds don’t match. [name]Cecily[/name] has an “s” sound at the beginning, not a hard “c” like Cardew. Sorry.
“I’m [name]Penny[/name] [name]Parker[/name]. You can remember that 'cause it’s got the same letter at the front of each name. That’s important theatrically, you know.”
