Do you think we could do it again?

[YoYo]

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!!!

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

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

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.

James Isaac M...

Would be Jim, which is also short for James....

[Sequoia]

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

ROM - Romuald/Roman Orson M...
ROM - Romany Ordrina M...
REM - Remy Elizabeth M... (I like this one).

I was going to suggest the initials thing similar to MiniMax's suggestion...

One of DPs friend's passed away when DP was 16 and his name was Chris - DPs initials are KRS we wanted to do something like that to honor his friend as we didn't want to use Chris or Christopher as the first name for a boy... but we decided on a boy's name that began with an O and hadn't decided on a middle name.

We had planned to do it for a girl as we had chosen a C name but we ended up going with an M middle name as the two names we chose just went together so well. We couldn't decide on a girl's R name to save us.

I hope you can work it out BW - it is something I can see myself having done.
