Too much alliteration?

frogkisser · May 2013

I brought up the name Corbin to DH the other night and to my complete surprise he did not immediately shoot it down. Normally we avoid names with a C/K beginning sound because them seem to sound harsh with our last name (Kelly).

So what do you ladies think, is Corbin Kelly too much C/K sound?

Also how does the name Corbin sound with my other LOs names (Grant Aaron and Garrett Ryan)? Do Grant, Garrett and Corbin sound like they 'go' together?

I don't mind alliteration so the C/K combination doesn't seem to be too much to me at all. I think Corbin goes well with your other DS's names.

I think Corbin Kelly sounds like a strong, masculine name. Flows well with your other children's names, too.

I think Corbin Kelly sounds nice. It goes well with Grant and Garrett.

Yup, definitely doesn't bother me!

I really like it! Do you have a middle name? I thought all 3 names were going to start with the same letter. (All 3 of my names do, actually...)

Corbin Jared

Corbin James

Corbin Gabriel

I really like it.

As a general rule, I do not mind alliteration.

No middle name yet. DH was really set on names starting with the same letter for a while, but he has come around. We didn't intend our LOs names to start with the same letter, it just ended up that way. I had loved Garrett for a long time and Grant was more a compromise name (that we now love). DH really wanted to name this LO Greta if LO was a girl. LO is a boy so I can stop having the "I really think Grant, Garrett, and Greta is mouthful and too much" argument.

I actually like alliteration. I grew up with a JJ first/last name and got compliments a lot on the "flow" and the way it sounded. My kids both have the C and K sound in their first name and our last name starts with Q but has the "K" sound. I think they sound great!

Corbin Kelly sounds fine! One of my best friends growing up was Caitlin Kelly and I loved her name.

I like it. The alliteration doesn't bother me. I think it sounds good and more importantly, you both seem to like it. I know with DH and I , if we ever found a boy name to agree on it would be a miracle!
