Particularly wondering about names starting with [name_m]Al[/name_m]- such as [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_f]Alaska[/name_f], due to the similar sound of the surname.
I think that’s pretty much down to personal preference. I love alliteration so I think they sound fine. I think [name_f]Alice[/name_f] works better than [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] because it doesn’t end in “a” too.
I would maybe avoid [name_m]Al[/name_m]- names (though, honestly, I don’t think [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] would sound bad with a ln starting with All-) but I definitely think you can use an A name with your last name!
