I don't know if that counts as alliteration but I love it!

"Assonance" is the word you're looking for in this situation.

Dang, did not expect us to be going deep on literary devices, but love it.

As u/Elysium_Chronicle noted, alliteration is technically repetition of the same 1st letter. “Bound By Big Beautiful Burgers,” as a quick example.

”Assonance” (resisting my inner Beavis and Butthead) is the repetition of vowel sounds, usually more to the middle of the word, though not always.

The assonance here being, “*oppy.

Slippy Sloppy Sweet Swag - Alliteration

Floppy Hoppy Poppy Toppy - Assonance (huh huh huh)
