Initials? Do you worry?

[Trillian]

I had a school teacher many moons ago and he told us once that he and his wife chose their childrens names specifically for the initials - one was ELF I remember and I thought that was cool. It's never really been an issue for us so long as it was never offensive. The only thing we didn't want was a V name or otherwise they would have a VB initial LOL - and we didn't want anyone to think we were bogans hehe.

Its something that I think about. Jim and Jam aren't too bad though. DH suggested a name the other night for our little Beanie and her initials would have been GAS
I would hate for GAS to become a way of taunting my child when she is older I would feel so responsible for it.

My mum didn't say much when we had kids but said we should be careful of as her initials as a kid were MAD and she used to get teased.
All the best picking out the name for your baby.

well - DD1 has now hypenated her surname to include her dad's and step dads, so her initials are KKK

WE have a bit of a thing in my family to write initials instead of names - but the problem arises because in 9 grandkids there are three with exactly the same initials - it used to make Christmas interesting for them - was like a lucky dip!

This is sort of off topic but I was haing a conversation with someone the other day who is becoming obsessed with having the initials also spell out the name. So Zachary Andrew Clark would be Zac or James Ivan Murray is Jim and Rose Olivia Simone Evans

Not sure how I feel about it really - I suspect that it is trying to be a bit too clever - it cuts down the name choices a fair bit.

I do worry about it and it was a thought when selecting DS's names. I'm SAG and as you can imagine got teased quite a bit for it and I didnt want to put my kids through that.
