Do you think the alliteration is too much?

I'm not pregnant right now (although, I deeply, deeply wish...ttc has been a long and exhausting journey that has yet to succeed) but I fill my trying time with name love.

Right now I really love the name Penelope Pearl I think it sounds gorgeous together and for Penelope I love the nn's Penny and Poppy--ESPECIALLY Poppy and I'm not usually much on nn's. I even think Poppy Pearl would sounds really cute together but I wondered if the repeating pe sound at the beginning of both Penelope and Pearl is too much or is it still acceptable?

I think Penelope Pearl is sweet...but what letter does your last name begin with? I'm sure you would have mentioned if it was P, but if it is, you may want to stick another letter in there just to break it up a bit.

My last name begins with an I. It is Hungarian and sounds kind of like is smart...I used to get that all the time in Junior High and I hated it. In hindsight being teased for being smart isn't the worst thing in the world.

I love alliteration names and Penny Pearl is adorable!

Penelope Pearl is very nice. Not too much at all. Both names are classy which helps.

It really depends, in this case Penelope Pearl sounds lovely, but Poppy Pearl sounds awful.

Penelope Pearl is sweet, but I'm not a fan of P sounds, so I'm inclined to say it's too much.

There are certain names that can stand alliteration, but I don't think P is one of them. P has such a noticeable sound, so it's very easy to detect when it is used in alliteration. Penelope Pearl does seem a bit too heavy on the P's. Still, I don't think it's a "bad" combo, and if you really love it, you should use it. However, I would stick to just Penny or just Poppy as a nickname. Penny Pearl / Poppy Pearl sound a little too sing-songy, to me.

I think if you are going to do alliteration, A long name and a short name go well together, but 2 short names really accentuates the alliteration too much. So in this case, Penelope Pearl sounds sort of sweet, Poppy Pearl is too much.

I think the length and rhythm is okay, but Penelope just isn't a name that lends itself to alliteration. It's already very quirky and has internal alliteration, plus Pearl is a noun, so Penelope Pearl kind of sounds like a cartoon to me. Like Olive Oyl, Daisy Duck, and Penelope Pearl would all have lunch together.
