Initials VD?

[UpsyDaisy123]

Would this be a definite no-no?

[TattieHowkerz]

No.

[ElsaAintAsColdAsMe]

Definitely a no.

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

I wouldnt.

[mrsschu]

Sounds great, go for it.

[mrsschu]

Kidding of course and pretty sure the OP is kidding too...

[abbsismyhero]

i know someone with those initials its not her fault her mom remarried and she wanted to change her name to be the same as her mom and sibs no one really notices

[MissAlabamaWhitman]

It's honestly fine.

Nobody under 35 even recognises it as the antiquated term for STI .

By the time your offspring are of noticeable age it won't at all be common parlance.

Don't let it put you off. If you're still bothered add a middle name/initial.

[ConesOfDunshire]

Agree that it's fine.

A colleague of mine acquired the same initials when she got married and changed her name. We use initials fairly frequently at work and she simply uses her middle name to create a three letter initial.

[CharmingChampignon]

I'm not sure that anyone would even notice? It's not a term/abbreviation that's used at all these days.

[Newlywed56]

I have no idea what that means!

[Littlefish]

Don't do it.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.

[Mrsindecision]

It's a definite no from me.

[atticusclaw2]

Its an age thing. I would say definitely no but as PPs have said, its not a term that is used anymore. The younger generation will know STD or STI.

As a result I don't think the child would ever get any grief over it.

[fakenamefornow]

I agree that the term is no longer used, I think it'll be fine.

[Mrsindecision]

Cones example above is further proof that it IS an issue as her colleague had to use a middle initial to avoid having the initials VD at work.

[ImNotAFlower]

These are my initials since I married...... I no longer initial cash back

[AuntieStella]

No, don't do it.

It's still in use in other anglophone countries, and so will stay current via films, telly etc. As well as continuing as a well-recognised colloquial term in UK.

[ConesOfDunshire]

Good point, Mrs. I. I hadn't considered that interpretation.

[Fisher1008]

I literally had no idea was VD was I’m 28 for reference - definitely go for it.

[Fifthtimelucky]

I was at primary school (1960s) with someone whose initials were VD. She was teased.

However, I'd agree with others that the initials don't seem to be as commonly used these days.

[zingally]

My first thought ran to venereal disease... I know it's a slightly outdated term, but I think it's still common enough to raise a naughty smile.
I'd avoid, personally.

[user1493494961]

Add a middle initial, problem solved.

[Wheresthebiffer2]

I asked my teenage daughter about the initials VD, and she laughed, she knew immediately what it meant. So it's a no from us.

[HowFastIsTooFast]

My initials before I got married were BJ (the B isn't my given name but it's what I've gone by forever). There were a few giggles on the rare occasion people picked up on it but nothing I couldn't survive, I wouldn't rule it out if you love the name.
