Hi Girls, I am interested to know if you think initials matter. To better explain myself, I love love love the name Jade. I love the sound of Jade Isabel but our last name starts with an M, so the initials would be JIM? Jade Amelia was another but again, JAM?
What do you think? I dont mind Jade Olivia and that makes JOM but atleast it isnt a name or food!!
Would love suggestions for middle names for Jade, and do you think girl when you see it? Another first girls name we love is Grace, Grace Amelia is my pick! Love opinions! If only our kids knew how hard it is to name them
DS's initials are JAW...& thats what some people call him! I don't mind.
Mine are SNO'S & dad used to call me that...I hated it! Sounded too much like snot! But that stopped years ago, lol.
I wouldn't worry too much. I think the only reason DS gets it (from 2, maybe 3 of DH's mates) is just coz he's a boy. It just works for some reason, lol.
I don't know anyone else who has problems with it. SIL is RAM.
I think girl when I see it too, but you could spell it Jayde/Jayd to girly it up if you like
I was going to say what Skye said. Jim and Jam make funky nn's if you're into them...and they'd be cool and inoffensive as number plates.
My cousin had to changed her chosen name for her little guy as she was going to Name him Brett Ulyssees M....
We also thought about it with Nate's name. We loved Liam, but DH was concerned that if he ever wanted personalised plates (yep we are a car family) that Liam Edward B....initials might be offensive.....so he's Nate instead.
HI there,
It's my first time posting. We had a similar problem when I was having my son. His intials would have been AAS (sounding too similar to ASS). So we resolved the problem by giving him two short middle names. So his intials are AIAS now- problem solved!
Lol my mother was *obsessed* with initials when it came to me naming my kids (funnily enough mine are DLR, which makes no sense at all, so I don't see why she was so adamant about what my kids' initials would spell, if anything).
I think JAM or JIM are fine - initials I would have a problem with would be something like Fiona Amelia Thompson or Catherine Olivia Williams, kwim
'Jim' would be a pretty cool nickname for a girl I reckon, I'd give my child those initials *just* so I could call her Jim hahaha
I think the names you have chosen are beautiful. Go for it!!
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.
Initials? Do you worry?
