What do you think about names like:
Aydan Anthony
Taylor Thomas
Devyn D'mitri
Hollis Harper


Those examples are my cousin's names, and [incase you didn't notice] both first & middle name start with the same letter.


Do names like that appeal to you?

Annoying Alliteration doesn't Appeal to me At All.

That's okay, I'm not going to use it but I just had to say something. So cute!

Sometimes it's okay but I think people need to be careful with it. Aydan Anthony isn't so bad.

it's not that bad..but of course, it all depends on the name.

My first son is Jayden Joshua and I think it flows really well with his last name. Otherwise, I wouldn't like it.

I hate that Aydan and Devyn are spelled in a way that is going to make them correct people for the rest of their lives.

I think it depends on the name, but in general, I think they're too cutesy.

I like alliterating names, as long as they flow well. I like Aydan Anthony, only I'd spell it as Aidan. Taylor Thomas would be nice if the first thing that popped into my mind wasn't Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Not fond of D'mitri, Hollis, Harper, or the spelling of Devyn, though.

i think alliteration can work, but its a tricky business.

I like the middle name Harper, and that's it. Devyn D'mitri is just... no.

I just like Hollis Harper.

I have no problems with alliteration - I actually like it.

But I hate every single one of those names up there (Hollis Harper's a possible exception), and I would even if they weren't alliterative.

I don't mind alliteration.

That is, if the names themselves aren't completely atrocious, which these are.

My eyes are bleeding.

Jonathon Taylor Thomas .. yikes.

I like Devan, not Devyn/Devon/Devin

D'mitri, no thanks.

Hollis Harper could be cool.

Aydan.. YIKES! Aidan is still trendy but add a y to it, poor little kid.

Not really. Neither do the names.

I think sometimes it can work, sometimes it's horrible.
