Who doesn't love a good, old-fashioned nursery rhyme or tongue twister? There are hundreds of great ones we can probably all remember.

Jack Sprat could eat no fat
His wife could eat no lean
And so betwixt the two of them
They licked the platter clean.

Sally sells seashells by the seashore.

But are rhymes and alliterations as lovable when they're used in a baby's name? Some people say so; some might sorry (alliteration intended!). Rhyming and alliterative names could be seen as cutesy and catchy or they could be viewed as cheesy and cheeky. There is no right or wrong when it comes to giving your baby a name that rhymes or a name that forms alliteration. But keeping a few things in mind when you decide on a rhyme scheme or tongue twister for your baby's name will probably make all the difference.

To Rhyme or Not to Rhyme

Parents might want to use a rhyme scheme when it comes to their baby's name. One option for parents is to give all of their children first names that rhyme with one another. The following are different groups of rhyming first names that parents might choose to use with their families:

* Ace, Trace, Jase, Chase

* Billy, Gilly, Jilly, Lily, Willy

* Barry, Carrie, Gerry, Harry, Mary

* Finn, Lin, Quinn, Rin, Wynn

* Bane, Cain, Jane, Layne, Rain

Or, other parents might want to go the Hanna Montana route and have their child's first and last names rhyme. Some first and last rhyming names might look something like this:

* Chord Ford

* Lorne Horn

* Jack Black

* Sherman Herrmann

* Ron John

* Ann Tan

* Reed Meade

* Peter Teeter

* Tyler Seiller

* Stacey Casey

Same Starting Sounds

While rhymes might not be some parents' cup of tea, alliteration might be a perfect pick for parents. Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout might be one of the most famous alliterative names out there thanks to Shel Silverstein. Listening to several words in a row begin with the same sound is music to some people's ears. Some of the following are examples of alliterative names that might make parents pleased:

* Coco Collins

* Stan Stone

* Grace Gray

* Chelsy Chism

* Polly Post

* Cliff Clemens

* Todd Thompson

* Ella Ellison

* Wendall Wells

* Max Madison

Obviously, rhyming words and alliterations aren't for everyone when it comes to naming their baby. However, some parents might like the way rhymes and alliterations roll off the tongue, making their baby's name a favorite to say and hear over and over again. Rhymes and alliterations. Sensational or silly? Sound it out and see.
