Can I say “name after the first letter”?

Question

there.

I would like you guys to answer this question.

Let s say,

I had a dog named "Camila".

After she passed away I got a new dog. (This dog is a male.)

I want to give him a name beginning with "C" from "Camila".

In this case, can I say

"I named him "Chris" after the first letter of "Camila"."?

Thanks!

I don't think there's any set phrase for doing that. Another way to describe it would be "I chose a name with the same initial." — Kate Bunting, May 24 '20 at 8:06

Another choice to what @Kate_Bunting has said can be,

I chose the name 'Chris' for my dog since it has the same initial as 'Camilla'.
