I know what you mean about initial letters though. In my family, of five siblings, three had their first names start with J. Then me, I'm a T (close but no cigar); and the fifth, a radical departure from formula, was K B, and married a ... J!

I'm reasonably sure that what most writing coaches, etc., are talking about, in naming similarity, is when names
sound the same, like in LOTR, Arwen and Eowyn, where if listening, you have to think twice about which woman you're talking about.
I honestly don't see much similarity in those 5 names. Sure, they are short, and yes, they have "a" in the middle, but Hardy and Grant don't sound anything alike. Or Davis and Sharp. I guess that Brand and Grant could sound somewhat similar, despite the very different first letter.
But, to each their own.
