What do you think of matching names?

What do you of it when people who give their children matching names. Like all their names beginning with the letter A, or all having flower names, or Jayden, Kayden and Aiden...





Just wondering :)

What do you think of matching names?
I think it will make you go crazy and your kids won't like it much either. They'll feel more like individuals with their own names.
Reply:It's cute when their young. Not so cute when older.
Reply:My siblings and I have matching names and we have been teased about it our whole lives. Teasing is not the end of the world, but we all would prefer if our parents had chosen individual names.

Reply:i like it.
Reply:depends on what they are, i know a family with kids named kiera, kali, karissa, kanan, and kristopher, there cool
Reply:I think it's annoying.
Reply:I think it's cute if they have a common theme or beginning letter. Not so much for the rhyming...
Reply:I think it is very annoying and it is too cutesy. Siblings are individuals too so I believe they should have their own names. Matchy names can be very confusing too.
Reply:Its ok if they are all the same letters, but if they all rhyme THAT is anoying. i do think that twins names should start with different letters though, THEY ARE DIFFERENT PEOPLE
Reply:Starting with the same letter, all sharing one common sound, all flower names, etc. are fine with me, but I hate when people do rhyming names (like Jayden, Kayden, Aiden- there's a difference between that and Amy, Mary, Becky, for example) or very similar names, like Michael and Michelle, Daniel and Danielle, etc. Flower names and names starting with the same letter can still have a lot of variation (Lily, Myrtle, Violet, and Rose all sound very different, for example, as do Ashley, Alex, Amy, Amber, Amanda, Anne, etc). It's fine to have sort of a theme, but don't go nuts with it.
Reply:I don't like same letter names. It really ticks me off. It make's me want to burn things...
Reply:silly!!
Reply:I hate them with a passion. My sister and I have completely different names (Katherine and Amelia), look unrelated, and are five years apart, and they still can't say the right name when yelling at us! Why make it worse?





If you have to go theme names, why not something classy, like characters in Shakespeare plays, names that mean one thing, like 'sun', or writers' names?





If I had to do a theme, I would go writer's names:





Jane (Austen)


Oscar (Wilde)


Beatrix (Potter)


Hugo (Victor Hugo)





Very subtle, but nice.
Reply:I think it's cute





I would not do that myself





I see nothing wrong with it.
Reply:It can be kind of creepy, but sometimes it actually works. My sisters and I's names all end with a Y so it's like an EE sound, because my sisters are Becky (short for Rebecca), Mary and Amy. Some people think that's wierd, but some don't even notice. My mom wasn't even planning it that way.
Reply:It's annoying. I've heard of people naming the first child with a name that starts with "A", the second child with a name that starts with "B", etc. I think people should just name their children without trying to have a pattern to it all. And no made-up names.
