Is this naming trick cute or too cutesy?

Does anyone remember that woman whose family just got a house with a whole bunch of stuff because she just had her 18th kid AND PLANS TO HAVE MORE? All of her kids names start with J (Jinger, Justin, Joseph, etc).

I would be slightly upset if my parents didn't really give any thought to our names and just did it with the letter for the sake of itself. M

Although, my sister and I are both As (Angelique and Alexandria) and both of our brothers are Ns (Nicholas and Nicholas).

My girlfriend's family does that. Madison, Mally, Mana, Mara, Muffin...at least she broke the cycle calling one of her rats Rin, but I believe Rin is short for an M name of some sort. My animals just get random names that stick.

My SIL has two little girls, and they are named MOrgan and Meghann! It is so hard to keep them two girls straight! Everyone in the family has the same problem. the girls are almost identical, and the names are way too close, to not get confused. drives me nuts!

my neighbour's did that with their children. They named them Teddy (theodore), Terence, and Tyler. But now they have a daughter named Jasmine.

colbi, those all sound like animal names to me! Especially becuase we have a gerbil named Terrence. (I also have a family member named Colby)

I think its cute so long as it doesnt override everything. however I do choose names that fit together, if the name does not "fit" with the other name in the pair, for axample "Happy and Misty" the names just sound right together, or "Taru and Toivo", or "Tori and Isko" the names just sound like they belong together.
