A form of [[Theme Naming]] in which everyone in a family, or one generation of a family at the very least, all possess names with [[Added Alliterative AppealAlliteration]], starting with the same letter or syllable. Bonus points if their last name ''also'' [[Alliterative Name|starts with the same letter]]. While obviously this can be expected to be intentional on the part of the writers, it can also be shown to be deliberate on the the part of the ''characters.'' Such characters will usually be a little on the quirky side, if so.
 
May or may not also be an [[Alliterative Name]], in which both first and last names have the same letter. The [[Theme Naming]] can be taken even further when these same letter names all have a theme within the same letter. When done [[In-Universe]] by the characters, can overlap with [[Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?]] and can lead to [[Rapid Fire Name Guessing]].
Line 53:
* Joseph Goebbels had seven children (one adopted, six biological), named Harald, Helga, Hildegard, Helmut, Holdine, Hedwig and Heidrun. Some theorized that this was a tribute to [[Adolf Hitler]], but there's no evidence supporting that.
* [[Joan Crawford]]'s four adopted children: Christina, Christopher (originally named Phillip Terry, jr. after her then-husband when they adopted him; she had him renamed Christopher Crawford after they divorced), and identical twins Cindy and Cathy.
* Kings George I, II, III, and IV, who all ruled one after the other.
