I'd disregard spelling: it's the sound that counts. Hence Caerdydd Canolog counts but Cardiff Central doesn't. While names like Bat and Ball are allowable because the initial consonants of both stressed words are the same.
I initially thought so too but the dictionary definition of alliterative would seem to suggest otherwise.I'd disregard spelling: it's the sound that counts.
Depends which dictionary. The Penguin English Dictionary says "The repetition of initial consonant sounds in neighbouring words or syllables" [my italics].I initially thought so too but the dictionary definition of alliterative would seem to suggest otherwise.

As @backontrack has just pointed out, alliteration can also mean the repetition of the same letter as well as the same sound.
But even if Cardiff Central is disallowed, then how about... Caerdydd Canolog?
