Initials W C?

[Catcheronthesly]

Would you use the initials WC? It would be for a boy and would most likely be WAC or WRC in full. We're not 100% set on names yet, but this was the front runner until I just thought about initials!

Do you think WC is still in use much? Do you think they'd get teased as a child or be embarrassed as an adult?

We also don't know what we're having so this may be irrelevant........?

I'd be grateful for any opinions (I'm driving myself mad with the worry of using the wrong name!)

[WanderingTrolley1]

I wouldn't, in all honesty.

[Catcheronthesly]

I thought that might be the opinion, but it's just so hard picking a name that we both like!

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

He will be nick named Boggy ! 😄

[Xmasfairy86]

My initials are ELF, no one notices.

If you like the names, go for it

[BugPlaster]

So many toilet signs are still WC (although I think it's old fashioned) I don't think it's worth the hassle.

[CleverQuacks]

I don't think my kids would know what WC means if I asked them so I would go for it.

[SpunkyMummy]

No, I really wouldn't.

But maybe WIC, WDC or something?

If I were to see WDC I'd think of Washington, D.C. Which is better than WC, at least imo

[chickychickyparmparm]

Do people even say WC? I've never in my life seen or heard it used except in two instances: very old people, and some real estate listings.

[Heratnumber7]

It didn't do WC Grace any harm, but I don't think I would.

[SpunkyMummy]

chicky I have heard the term WC (in the U.K.)

[gillybeanz]

I wouldn't because people don't tend to use middle name/ know a person's middle name, they'd just think WC, toilet etc
maybe call him Loo Loo.

[glitterandtinsel]

We have a c surname and made the decision not to have wc initials.

[Catcheronthesly]

I'm still undecided!

[Bellaposey]

My cousin is WC and none of his friends/classmates have ever commented on it. The only ones who have are the elderly!

[Sophronia]

I think it's fine

[BonjourMinou]

Don't know anyone who calls a toilet a WC! And I thought you were suggesting calling him Winston Churchill at first Sure you'll be fine!

[imnervous]

My DC is WC and he thinks it's hilarious

[pissedglitter]

WC is my husbands initials
He has never had any problems with it in 36 years

[Catcheronthesly]

Hmmm, this is starting to sound more positive, especially since some of you know WC's!

[Pipilangstrumpf]

No way. At work people often are known (on paper) by their initials and how embarrassing to be known as WC, toilet!

[CordeliaFrost]

Well it didn't do Winston Churchill any harm, and the term 'water closet' (WC) was around during his lifetime!

[Pipilangstrumpf]

How do you know it didn't do him any harm or that he was teased as a boy/teenager for being WC?

[LauraPalmersBodybag]

My husband is a WC. I don't think it ever came up at school or bothered him. I think we all look too hard for things that will make our child stand out - children tease each other irregardless, I wouldn't overthink it.

[Fruitboxjury]

If it's good enough for Churchill....

My DS's friend's initials are WC. He is 10 and so far no one has picked up on it. His mum didn't realise until it was too late! So far, so good. My DS certainly wouldn't know what it meant.
