Do you think we could do it again?

[luna moth]

Actually someone I know just had a little boy called BRAM

CAM would be cool. If you really couldn't stomach SPAM (and who can, really?)

Tamsyn has a positive teacher association effect for me. I fell in love with a little Tamsyn once.

And if Norma/n and Pamela are out, it's not really worth suggesting Ivan and Igor as middle names, is it?

[butterfly_warrior]

Hmmm... Igor! I'm a big fan of Terry Pratchett, so that one's a winner with me... Not so sure DH would go for it though!

You could also go for

JEM
Jemima with any "E" name Elizabeth, Eve, Eliza, Elise etc
Jeremy Edward, Evan, Ewan etc -have know a few Jeremy's shorted to Jem

GEM
Gemma Elizabeth, Eve, Eliza, Elise etc

SIM
Simone Isabelle or Isla or Ida, Ilsa
Simon Isaac, Isaiah, Ignatius (was good enough for Cate Blanchett!)

CIM

Cimon (pr - Sea-Mon) girls name again with any "I" name Isabella, Ilaina,Ilana, Ilona

Would be cool if you could do it again.

Oooh I wish we had of thought of that, would've worked with our DS too, his name is Ashley (Ash for short) and our surname starts with H... Too bad his middle names is Charles (after my Dad and Grandfather)...

Anyway a couple of ideas that popped into my head:

Girls
- Emily could be Emm
- Gemma could be Gem

Boys
Cameron or Campbell could be Cam
Simon could be Sim
Hamish could be Ham

Hmmm I'm liking this, it's a bit of a brain teaser But I think that's all I've got for now, might pop back later.

OK...so I'm totally stumped on name choices for you....BUT have you thought about the sound of the initials???

My surname starts with C and we had decided for this bub to name her Darcie....so I suggested my middle name Renee....which would make the initals DRC, which said as ititials, kind of sound like you're saying Darcie IYKWIM!!?

Maybe you can try from that angle too?

for what it's worth my maiden name started with M and my initials were ALMOST JAM!!!

[blue_hebe]

Another boy's "I" name suggestion for you:

Ioan (pronounced Yo-an...almost like Euan I guess, depending on your accent).

[butterfly_warrior]

Minimax, my maiden name also started with an M - I was nearly a RAM... So yeah, I can fully understand that there are certain things you DON'T want to have pop up in initials, but I still like the idea...

But when it comes to Hamish - Hamish is a lovely little dog that belongs to a friend of ours. I don't think I could call a child of ours Hamish... especially when the only human Hamish I have encountered as a teacher was kind of in the ruining the name forever category.

I'm starting to think another *AM name would be a bit much... so starting to think more of other vowels in there for the middle name...

Then again, even if we ended up with something like Sam and Kim... I'm starting to think it all sounds a bit blurgh.

Juliette, really starting to like some of your ideas! I think we could probably come up with some initials that are really meaningful but not necessarily an abbreviation of a name.

[Sequoia]

EAM (sounds like AIM) - Eamon Alexander M...

ROM - Romuald/Roman Orson M...
