Many families choose to give all their children names that start with the same letter. If you did this which letter would you pick and what names?

C:
Christopher, Corran, Colleen, Constantine, Casey, Connor, Cassidy, Colin, Caylan, Cadence, Cade.

L:
Luke, Liam, Laine, Logan, Lauren, Lawrence.

E:
Evan, Ethan, Elizabeth, Eleanore, Edward, Ellis, Eryk, Evelyn, Edie.

My mom and her siblings are, in alphabetical order by age, David, Debra, Donna, and Doree. David's middle name is Alan and the girls are all Ann.

Probably S, just because S is the most popular first letter on my list. Saxon, Saoirse, Shalom, Sage, Sebastien, Sam, Shia, Skandar.

But I would never actually do it. I think it's really tacky.

I wouldn't, but Margaret and Maine, girl-boy.


My sister and I both had the initials SLC before she married.

I would probably pick A. Our oldest son is Adrian, 2nd son was almost Andon, and the new baby could be either Alex or Ashland. I think it sounds very cheesy to have all the same letter though, so instead we have Adrian, Dylan, and either Taylor or Kaitlyn.

My parents chose D. One of my naming laws is that no one in the house shares initials ;)

If I had to choose, I would choose a letter that had a wider range of sounds/typical combinations than D - so C and T would be top contenders, along with most vowels.

Well, I wouldn't do it because 1. I don't like naming with the same first letter for all and 2. I either don't have enough names of one letter to go around, their all in one gender, or they don't go together stylistically.

There is one exception to the second point, the C's.
Ciaran
Conor/Connor
Corbin
Ciara
Clara
Ceridwyn

..still wouldn't do it though. :P Personal preference.

I wouldn't be able to do it. As it is, out of the four name combinations (three names each) we have one or two overlapping initials--it varies based on the second middle name for the first boy. I like the variety too much.

If I had to, I might do the "I"s.

e. elliott, elisabeth, eisley, elijah.

[lind-saay.livejournal.com]

I'd choose E.

Eleanor
Esme
Emily

Elijah
Ezra
Evan

[princess-natty.livejournal.com]

I've never thought about naming all my kids with the same letter, but the parents of a friend of mine did, and they chose S.

Shannon, Shaun, Seth, Shane and Sierra.

Kinda makes the idea favorable to me :]

[chillinbabejodi.livejournal.com]

A. Aimee, Alyssa, Adelaide, Ashton, Aaron, Alexander.

C. Caitlin, Caleb, Carley, Camille.

E. Elliott, Eleanor, Elias, Emilie, Ethan.

J. Jonathan, Juliet, Jasmine, Joseph, Jacob.

S. Spencer, Samuel, Sophia, Sean, Savannah.

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't do that because I think it's dumb. But if I HAD to choose a letter, I would probably go with A because some of my favorite names start with A.

Anna
Adrienne
Avery
Alexander
Aaron
Adam

I probably think it's stupid because my grandma did it. The names she chose are:
Terry
Thomas
Timothy
Tamera
Tina
Toni
Tracey
Tara
Troy
Tricia

[kilobites.livejournal.com]

I...don't know if I have any favorite names that all start with the same letter but I guess I'd choose C because then I could have Claire, at least.

Claire, Collin, Cillian, Clementine, Celine, Christian, Cordelia...

C names are good, but I would never name my kid all the same first letter names.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

L, probably... Leslie, Linda, Luke...

[spartan-picnic.livejournal.com]

Probably A, E, R or M.

Adam, Aleksi, Arthur

Aino, Annabel, Annika/Anni/Annie, Astrid, Aura

Eleanor, Elizabeth, Essi, Eveliina

Elias, Emil, Ethan, Evan

Rauha, Rebecca, Ronja

Rickhard , Robert

Madeleine, Maja, Malin, Margarita, Marianne, Matilda, Miranda

Mads, Marshall, Matias, Mats, Michael, Miles, Miro

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

most of my names are pretty even, but the letter with the most is E:
eden
elinor
elliott
eloise
emerson
eve

Honestly, I think it's sooo tacky when parents do this. Yuck!

[singhappy02.livejournal.com]

I have no idea. I probably wouldn't do it just b/c I've grown up always being called the wrong name.

My parents went (accidentally) with the same sound. We're Kristin, Kelsey, Cara, and Claire.

It's a bitch and a half but I've gotten used to it.

[xdontxyouxwish.livejournal.com]

i don't know if i can stick to one letter, i can definitely go with themes though, although i don't think i can ever do that.

my brother's best friend's mother named her kids (all boys) in alphabetical order (alexander, brian, christopher, daniel)... i always thought that was interesting.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't do it, but if I had to, I'd pick:

Adam, Alistair, April & Astrid.

Maeve, Mia, Miles & Morgan

Judah, Jillian, Jemima & Joseph

Hazel, Helena, Hadrian & Hugh.

[supermonkeyfics.livejournal.com]

R. Definitely R. I could go on for quite a while w/ R names, though I'd only be able to use a few since many of my favorites sound too similar to be in a sibset.

Remy, Reina, Roxanne, Rory, Robin, Rowen, Rhys, Ryan...

A might also work, though: Alexander, Adrien, Adam, Avery, Aria, Aurora

[ugottafriend.livejournal.com]

J, A, or S names...for SURE!

Jason, Joshua, Julia, Janessa

Anderson, Alister, Annalise, Alaina

Spencer, Stephan, Summer, Shay Anne
