Multi-Generational Alliteration!

General Name Discussion
1

Hi berries!

At church today I found out one of the families has been keeping 5+ generations of alliteration going!! (Each of the 5 generations continued using the same letter!). I’ve never heard of such a thing—I am so ridiculously fascinated by this. I’d love to know, if you had to rename your family using alliteration, what letter would you choose, and what names would you use? Feel free to use your actual family with new names or modify genders, etc., if you prefer to protect your family’s privacy. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:. (Or feel free to answer multiple times with different letters!)

Thanks for humoring me, berries!

I think A is truly the only letter I could do this for:

Mom and Dad: [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] and [name_m]Asa[/name_m]

Mom: [name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
DD1: [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] “Daisy”
DD2: [name_f]Avonlea[/name_f] “Lea”
DD3: [name_f]Ariane[/name_f] “Ari”
DD4: [name_f]Anthea[/name_f] “Annie”

Mom: [name_f]Ariane[/name_f] “Ari”
DS1: [name_f]Avery[/name_f]
DD1: [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] “Anja”
DD2: [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] “Bella”

Mom: [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] “Anja”
DD1: [name_f]Adele[/name_f] “Della”
DS1: [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] “Bram”
DD2: [name_f]Alba[/name_f]
DD3: [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] “Rora”

Mom: [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] “Rora”
DS1: [name_m]Augustine[/name_m] “Auggie”
DS2: [name_f]Aquila[/name_f] “Quill”

That’s intriguing – I guess a way to connect family when the surname likely changes!

I’ll use the letter E – but I can only do four generations :person_shrugging:

(1) Mum and Dad: [name_f]Evelyn[/name_f] “Neely” and [name_m]Ernest[/name_m] “Ernie”
DD: [name_f]Enid[/name_f]
DS: [name_m]Ellwood[/name_m] “Tom”

(2) Mum: [name_f]Enid[/name_f]
DD: [name_f]Esther[/name_f]
DS: [name_m]Edwin[/name_m] “Eddie”

(3) Mum: [name_f]Esther[/name_f]
DD1: [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
DD2: [name_f]Erin[/name_f]

(4) Mum: [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
DD: [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]
DS: [name_m]Evan[/name_m]

We have a minor example of this in my family. My grandmother, mother, sister, and my sister’s daughter all share the same letter, making my niece the 4th gen with this letter. [name_m]The[/name_m] siblings got different letters though, it wasn’t a family wide thing.
