I was discussion this with a friend today, because I said if I have a daughter one day, 'Alessandra Olivia' is on my list of names, and my friend was like "Really? Both names ending with an A? I'm not sure I'd do that" which made me wonder about what other people think about it. To me, unless they sound very similar, I don't understand why it matters. I hadn't even thought about it.

 

Anyways, just wondering what you all think!

It really depends. I like it if it sounds elegant and regal and very different sounds in the name, such as Eleanora Lucinda, Anna Cecelia, or Petra Anastasia. Usually, though, I tend to steer away from it to give more balance to the name. But every case is different!

 

Alessandra Olivia isn't for me, but the repeating A's isn't terrible here.

I agree with Addison here! Her name suggestions are really cute!
