Initials? Do you worry?

[Rivlas]

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.

i don't worry too much. I got married and became a HO, which really doesn't bother me some people like to point it out to me but I just sort of brush it aside. fortunately my middle initial is L so i just tell them it's actually Halo lol.

but my mother is also obsessed with initials. she told me i wasn't allowed to name the baby anything starting with B or it would be B.O as in body odour! hmmm.

our bubba is a boy but if it was a girl it would have been Emily or Elizabeth Grace = EGO. again dind't bother me.

so i reckon go for it

Just as long as the initials aren't B.U.M or something I don't think it matters. Jim or Jam are fine IMO.
