What consequences do you forsee with naming 2 of 3 boys the same initials?

Boys are not twins or multiples. There are about 2 years between each.





First boy- initials K. R. B.


Second boy initials T. A. B.


Third boy...can we give him another K. R. name or would that create issues within the siblings relationships.

What consequences do you forsee with naming 2 of 3 boys the same initials?
My parents had 5 children and thought they would be cute and give us all the same initials. My parents even had those initials. Funny thing was they would call you like 5 names before they got it right. Lol but it's ok to do. None of us minded. I don't even think about it.
Reply:none none at all
Reply:It might but it won't last long if it does. My boys have the same middle and last initial. But before age 6 or so kids are too young to notice and by age 9 or 10 they are too old to care. My boys initials are Z.M.S., L.M.S. and C.M.S. So far they don't even know what their initials are.
Reply:The only problem is confusion in monogrammed things, like from LLBean or something, but you could easily just put their full names on it or get different colors. My daughters have reverse initials: AM, MA, EC, CE. A lot of people said that they are automatically going to create walls between the other pair w/o reverse initials but no one even notices!
Reply:Honestly that's fine- I live in a family of four children: 3 boys and me the one girl and we all have the same initials- A.A.B :-)
Reply:School notes will get mixed up and as adults, they will get each others mail- if they live near each other.
Reply:The kids wouldn't be affected, but monogrammed things could get confusing.
