Naming your kids with the same first initial?

Similar vibe but no rhyming, so it’s not too matchy or twee.

OP here - The names are Naomi, Nola, and Nellie.

OP, my girls and I all have the same first initial. I had boys first and they do not (one is a jr).

They are young adults now and we are all still happy with that. I feel like we share this little bond as women. One is married now and took dh's last name so the names are different now anyways. If you like the names OP, go for it!

Nola and Nellie are way too similar.

We have 2/3 with same initial.

I have 3 with the same initial, and #4 has a different initial. DH and I just picked names we liked. Each time, we had 2 or 3 in mind, and settled on one when we met DC.
If someone met me with my 1st 3 DCs, and thought I was “tacky”, I do not care a whit.

It's super cheesy to me.

See, then I feel bad for the 3rd. Like what happened? Did the parents not like you and did not use the same letter for you as for your sisters? My friend is a J after two Ks and it just seems unbalanced.

That being said, I'm the second of two Js and we are still upset over a contest we both entered when in elem school....one of us won $50 but the mail/check was just addressed to J. Lastname! My mom thought both of our guesses were ridiculous and had no idea who won, so like Solomon she had us split the money. But that was still a lot back in the 80s!

Ha ha, I am the oldest in a J (girl), K (girl), J (boy) family.

Poor middle sister also is odd name out.

There was sibling teasing about it, but I am sure no one cares anymore. J boy name is also a family name, so there was a reason. I actually think K got the best name anyway.
