frequently tend to give their children similar sounding names, like Gerard and Garrett (Rs and hard consonants, but both sounds for G) or Melissa and Lisa and Elizabeth (lots of S and short A sounds). To me, it makes it difficult for young children to differentiate their names when called, and makes al tired mom more likely to call the wrong name! LOL.
