HelpGrant and Georgia
I have a Grant. I want a Georgia. But they start with the same letter.
Is this a cute pair, or too matchy-matchy? Will people think I'm trying to do a "G" theme? (I'm not. I hate themes.) We will have more kids than just these two, so will it seem weird if Baby 3 and Baby 4 have non-G names?
Fiona is the other girl choice. I like Georgia and Fiona equally, but my husband (and everyone else, it seems) is pretty sold on Georgia.

2 Gs are fine, 3 aren't. :) Go with Georgia!

I like Georgia. I don't think its a big deal having both beginning with 'g', but I'd feel as if I'd have to continue with the theme if I had more children. But that may be just me.

I think it's fine. If you you have a third child it might seem weird, but whatever. Not everyone will know them as a sibling set.

I think it's fine. One of my girls has the same starting letter as her dad so I also thought it would be weird, but having more kids will balance it out. Go with the Georgia!

I like Georgia. I vote you use it, I can handle two kids with the same initial. Any more than two and I would begin to think that your doing it on purpose.
As long as you plan on having more kids with-out a 'G' name, I think it's perfectly fine. It wouldn't be weird at all.

I have four kids, two of whom have S names; and it's both the girls who have the two S names. But I didn't plan the whole sibset in advance; it was just a coincidence that my two fave girl names happened to both start with S.
It doesn't seem to matter one whit. No one IRL has ever said anything to me about it, ever.
I wouldn't worry about it. I think Grant and Georgia make a perfectly nice sibset.

Don't use Fiona, that's my daughter's name : ) Hah, I know I can't copy write a name.
I love Grant, btw, very distinguished and masculine.
Are there plans for a third kid? Or are you open to the possibly that there could be a third kid? If you are adamant that you will not have more than 2 kids, and are willing to take permanent measures - on a tangent, I don't understand why people will say, they don't plan on more than 2 kids, but "you never know." There is surgical birth control people - ok back to the topic.
If there will not be more than 2 kids, I think Grant and Georgia are fine, especially since one is a hard G sound, as in grape and the other is a soft, J sound.
But if you think you could even remotely have a third kid or more, than I wouldn't box myself in a corner. Because then you would feel compelled for all children to have G names, not wanting the youngest kid to feel left out, and that not only comes across as cheesy, it really limits your choices for future kids.
Other names that have the same "feel" as Georgia, at least to me, are Virginia, and Henrietta (you could call her Etta).

I don't think it matters. I have a friend who has three daughters who all start with the letter A. She said it wasn't planned like that she just happened to like their names and they just happened to all start with the same letter. She said that if/when she and her husband have a fourth she may/may not have another child starting with A. My sister-in-law has 4 girls and two of them start with the letter C, the others don't (they're J and R).
I think Grant and Georgia sound better than Grant and Fiona.

Despite starting with the same letter, the names start with very different sounds, so I do not think it would be too matchy. Because the names start off so differently, I probably wouldn't think to notice a possible "G" theme at first.
If it bother you that much, you could always use Georgia as a mn.
