Is Repetitive Name flexible enough for duplications as first names?

Bonbon, Lili, Lala, Rara and Ruru, etc?

The description is only focusing on names with both first and last names...

The trope is more about the meaning of the name than the spelling of the name, so I'd say no.

They probably fit better under Themed Naming, stuff like the sisters Lala, Momo, Nana in To Love RU and such.

I guess Alliterative Name wouldn't fit either, as it's first + last name based as well.

[up] - That's a theme, though? Not the fact of the repeats themselves?


Maybe taking it to TLP and calling it Alliterative First Name or something, is clear enough, without being too long.

Duplicated Sound Name? As the linguistics jargon, "reduplication" is too obscure?
