JR is cool but only in the Dallas context.

Love the idea of AC and DC Grin

DD's initials are SMD which meant nothing in the early 90s when I named her.

Now obviously they have an erm connotation...

I know a couple, R and D. They have 2 sons, also with first initials R and D. So they're R2D2 Grin

I’d be more concerned about bad initials. VD is an unfortunate example.

My brother's initials are PHD.

Cheaper!

A friend named his kid so she’d have ACE as initials. I managed to get my car reg in my initials! Last car had my kids initials.

Mine are JO but my first name is Jo

My SIL name is Jo and she was telling me a while ago she confuses people by typing too fast and signing off her emails "Hi" (which is next to "Jo" on the keyboard 😂)

PickettWhiteFences · 20/07/2025 01:18

We also use initials at work (including middle names) on our software, mine is GAL, which I quite like. Makes up for the middle name that I don't like 🤣

Someone was CJ in school when Baywatch was big. Less recognisable now.

Atalosswhat2do · 20/07/2025 01:17

My youngest is OK - with his middle name he is OFK.

I like KV because I love guinea pigs (cavies) 🐹🐹🐹

Objectrelations · 20/07/2025 01:14

I’m a KR and I noticed other people were starting to sign off emails with KR and I thought they were going mad 🤣

Strawberrycheesecake7 · 20/07/2025 01:12

My son’s first and middle initials are MR. So his name can be written as Mr Surname which I thought was quite cool when I noticed.

Giddykiddy · 20/07/2025 01:06

brother went to school with a boy who had the initials BUM - his middle name was Unicorn! Parents must have done it for a joke

I know of someone with a hyphenated first name which she chooses to shorten to BJ, even her bosses call her that.. I just couldn't!

Edited

Neither could I! 😁. It always made me smirk thinking that Boris Johnson's are BJ! (There is a part of me that never grew up)

N.O. 🤭

Maxorias · 20/07/2025 00:45

Mine are CAB, which isn't great !
I also have a MIB, which I didn't realize at the time could refer to the movie...

Knew a RK which I thought was cool (no special meaning but badass letters).

We do also sign off emails with initials sometimes, I usually leave off the middle name !

Or WooWoo, or WeeWee?!

Or DubDub?!

I like dubdub! (Possibly because I like dubstep)
