Should we avoid using the same initials?

in Baby Names
I have a 5 year old daughter named Chloe Juliet.  We are expecting a boy this time around and despite me trying not to, several of my favorite name combinations end up having the same CJ initials.  I swear that it is not on purpose, they are just the names that I am finding myself liking the most.  Should I avoid this even if it means using a name that I like less in order to not have the same initials?  I don't want to look super cheesy by doing it but I also don't want to compromise on his name just to avoid it.

    I don't think it's a big deal, just use the names you love, it doesn't matter. It's just a coincidence and some people probably won't even notice right away or at all unless it's pointed out

    I don't think people would notice often or find it cheesy.

    I wouldn't worry about it. It's not often people will look at their initials or full names.

    I wouldn't worry about the middle name, but personally I'd avoid using C for a first name.

    I wouldn't worry about it. Both of my nieces (one from each of my brothers) have the same initials BMW, Bayleigh Marie and Bella Makenzie and it's never been a big deal. I personally think it's cute. A friend of DH has the same initials as his brother AND both his parents CDD.

    I wouldn't worry about it at all, I don't think people are going to side eye you for it. I have two cousins with the same initials (Evelyn.Ada and Elizabeth Ann) and it just happened that way, people thought it was cute.

    I don't think it's a big deal at all. My niece and nephew are both BAW and it wasn't until the youngest was about 10 that anyone pointed it out and then everyone just thought it was neat lol
