BMW?

Hubby was named Benjamin Michael W so his initials were BMW
Our first child is Jemima

Now I'm pregnant hoping boy and love the name
Baxter should we go Baxter Michael w? Or is BMW too tacky when daddy is a mechanic?
The other name is Elliot Blake W

Girl is Tiffany Cherie W


Opinions on BMW? And the names themselves?

I do not think initials matter TBH...saying that mine were RAM :rofl:
If you want the traditional continue it.
I am not a fan of Baxter (really bad joke) but not my choice ;) I do love Elliot, for a boy and girl.

Good luck xo

I like Baxter and Elliot. I haven't heard Elliot used as a girl's name.
I don't think the initials matter. BMW is a lot better than some initials. You are more likely to see the name written as BM W..... or just BW. How often do you use all your initials?

Hi Duckyboos :hello: ;)

I think the baby having the same initials as his daddy is cute - but remember that it could get annoying in regards to mail when he is older.

My DHs initials are PDF and FIL was a comp tech for a while :p
I don't think it matters either!

I don't think it matters!

My DH is a mechanic also, and our DS is Jensen - a make of European car! I knew it was a car before we were pg, but didn't actually think about it until after he was born! It wasn't why we named him that either.

It probably doesn't help that our surname is the same as a major rental car company :wall:

And on the list (before being pg with this one) I really liked Lincoln and Riley.... before, too, realising they're also cars :rolleyes:

Now we just joke that we're calling it (if it's a girl) Lotus Elise or (boy) Ford Prefect. Sometimes, I think we're a bit nuts! lol

I think knowing Benji was named what he was so it was BMW makes me think twice.... but I have never care jemima's initials are JAW

Benji has said NO to Mercedes or portia for a girl though!


Really thinking hard about Baxter as cute as it is i'm just not completely sure of it for a man.

my initals used to be NME which said fast was ENEMY.... but only i really knew that, no one really picked on it,
its not a bad inital combo like DOG, BUM or something and seeings dh has the same initals im all for it!
mine and ds1 have the same initals NMP
and dh and ds2 have the same initals TJP
if ur thinking what other names u might like similar to Baxter i like Dexter!

Our 2 youngest are JAW & SAW. Never thought of BMW :lol:
I wouldn't be too worried.

Lol I'm a bit fussy when it comes to initials if they look to spell something out but then that's me and most people I meet are not bothered by it. I think if your gut feeling is telling you there are doubts maybe Elliot it is !
