alliterations
Repeated initial sounds
Alliterations is the plural of alliteration, a literary device in which consecutive or nearby words begin with the same sound: Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
The technique appears in poetry, advertising slogans, and tongue twisters.
Brand names often use it for memorability: Coca-Cola, Dunkin' Donuts, PayPal.
