This is bugging me....

And I don't know why!! We have 2 kiddos with C names just like DH. So when thinking of names, I automatically start thinking C or L names, which would go with my name. We have narrowed down to 2 boys names, one with a C, one with an L. The girl name I love starts with a P so does not fit the "trend". I won't use a name just for the sake of a letter, but it is throwing me off. The boys names are ones that we both like a lot and just happen to be the "right" letter. It bothers me though to throw in a P name. Am I crazy?!! Should I just hope this LO is a boy, lol?!!

I don't think being a relative of the Duggar family would negate craziness in any way. ;)

DH and I both start with S.  I really had to fight to not name DS an S name.  It was really hard for DH, so I understand how you feel.  It is a little crazy, but in a cute quirky kind of way.

I guess it just seems random to have a P. I know it is a little crazy so thanks ladies!

HAHAHA OK I have to admit... I'm being this way with the middle name! My DH, DS and myself all have M middle names and I'd like to keep this up with next LO but the names we like don't work well with the M MN!!

I hate letter trends in a family. I would avoid a C name like the plague.

I'm getting so big!

I just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me.

I have 3 boys and both my DH and I have /had very popular names growing up so we wanted unpopular names for our kids: Keegan is 14 yo and his name is perfect 4 him, he has never had another person with his name in school, our next son is ryley his name was popular when he started preskool probably 45 in each class both boys and girls, however as a 7 th grader now he doesn't have that many anymore in his classes also he goes by Ry cuz he was named after my brother Ryannn RyRY our baby is kyler jaxon I wanted Jax but I'm glad my hubby said it was too popular I love his name, we have to repeat it a lot cuz ppl hear Tyler but we have had really positive feedback on his name . Although we now have 2 k names and an R I feel like the all go together, fast forward to pregnancy 4 our first girl no we are struggling, but I doubt it will be a k or an r name probably totally different

So the matching letter thing runs through our family BIG TIME. My mom had 3 sisters, all with M names. She then had 8 kids. 4boys all starting with J 4girls all starting with M. Now all my brothers and sisters kids all start with K. My sister said i have to keep it going but theres so many that even i get confused calling them the wrong K name. My husband name is Michael and mine is Mikaela. So instead of adding ANOTHER K name we are doing M names. I say go for it. Add an L in there for you. But im weird i like the matchy names.

Yes you're crazy and I totally get it. DS and DD both have one syllable names. I'm pretty sure off we have another I will feel like we need to continue the trend.

That said, I think you should try to get past it and use the name you love.
