Initials? Do you worry?

I think Jade Amelia and Grace Amelia are both just gorgeous. To go with Jade you could try something else long like Elizabeth, which would make her initials JEM.... kind of pretty.

JAM is actually sweet, or a bit of a rock chick name ie: Jam with the band hmmmmm actually that may be taken two ways.

Yep - we worried about it as DD1 could have been GOB and DD2 could have been JAB - none of which are particularly nice so we made sure that their initials didn't spell anything. DP was only too happy to point out any playground teasing the kids might get from any name I picked!!

Sam's initials are SAM... It was deliberate. But I realise we have pretty much snookered ourselves for other children!

I don't really see a problem, though. Middle names come up in conversation so rarely that people may never even know. JIM and JAM are completely inoffensive, too.

I think it's fine providing they don't spell out something stupid or offensive! Your options are great! My DH's initials spell out ASH and it's been super handy throughout his life for various things.

Friends of our have a hyphinated surname which is S-S and the middle name they had selected for their bubs started with R so thankfully one of their other friends pointed out that they should steer clear of 'A' names for the first name... ARSS. Yeah, not good!

What the initials spelled (if anything) did come into our thinking when selecting names. My DH has two middle names only because without it his initials would have been a swear word (AR$ became ARJS).

I have two middle names for family tradition reasons so our children have 2 middle names to follow both of us but following my family tradition (and not his LOL).
