letter you avoid when choosing names?

even though i like a lot of them, i won't use any S names because our last name starts with S and i hate alliteration (before getting married, initials were TCT and they are now TTS. i will not do that to my child).

are there any names you avoid because they begin with a certain letter?

or

do you just happen not to like any names that begin with a certain letter?

    I like a lot of girl names that start with A. But we won't name any children an A name because DH and I both have names that start with A. I don't want to be THAT family.

    oh i know exactly what you mean. i grew up with a girl whose ENTIRE family (including her mother's maiden name) had MM as initials. really annoying.

    We try to avoid S because our last name starts with S, but we would still consider it if we loved a name that began with S.?

    anything ending with "am" or "an" sound (Ethan, Morgan, Callum) does not flow well with our last name which sucks because I like quite a few names with those sounds.

     HaHa!  I used to nanny for a family who's initials were all SS.  That included both parents and all 5 kids!  Talk about confusing!  Even the dog's name started with a S!

    We avoided J because DH and I are both J's.

    We are avoiding names with V. English is my dh's second language and his V's sometimes sound like W.

    I don't think we avoid any letters, but I'm just more drawn towards certain letters... A, J, M... who knows why. The only letter I guess I'd like to avoid (even though I like names that start with it) is B. My kids - certainly the first one - will have a J middle name. BJ? Not ideal.

    Like you, I also don't care for alliteration in names.  Every so often it sounds alright, but frequently, I think it's cartoon character-ish.

    I also don't like names where the first name ends with the same sound/letter that the last name starts with.  For example, Brandon Nichols, Parker Reynolds, Daryl Leary.  These can be hard to pronounce when spoken quickly, and the first & last names can tend to run together.

    So, for us, that leaves out any names beginning or ending with "R".  I wasn't too heartbroken over the "R" names, but I am sad about not using a name that ends in R - I like SO many of them, especially Parker.

    As far as letters I like, my favorite letters are "L" and "M" - just because I like to write them!  Wink  Our girl name was Lorelai... I love L names!

    We'd avoid KK because our last name starts with a K.
