Page 2 | Bj initials?

@Martiniolives can you clarify is the surname (last name) the one that starts with a J?

maxslice · 11/09/2026 04:02

I think that unless the family and people around her call her "BJ" she'll be fine. If you name her "Brianna Jane" or whatever, and call her by those names or a variation of them, it'll be okay. But the safest thing to do, is to name her "J B" then it has little or no risk of becoming a "thing".

Maybe times have changed but my awful ex husband had these initials and nobody ever commented.
Not something I ever thought of but I suppose it depends on your life experience, social circle and cultural references.
I knew him from childhood and nobody at school, college or university ever mentioned such an issue.

No don't do it! BJ will have the P taken out of them constantly when they reach high school.

Ohdearnotthisagain · 11/09/2026 03:08

No I would not do this.

CostcoFanofThree · 11/09/2026 02:59

Little Betty will be mostly known as Betty, especially in primary years children will not associate the last name and initials with a blow job.
In secondary teens can be mean but they can choose a wide number of things to be mean about.
By post secondary and work life it’s unlikely to be an issue.

Iocanepowder · 11/09/2026 02:29

I’ve heard someone make a joke about it when BJ was in someone’s postcode. Definitely don’t give someone those initials. Standard rule to not give stupid initials.

Oldsu · 11/09/2026 02:23

I always associate BJ with the character from M.A.S.H rather than anything else in fact it was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this thread not sure if that makes me naive or just old

caringcarer · 11/09/2026 00:41

Not a good idea. Your DD won't thank you for it when she's being teased at school.

Random321 · 11/09/2026 00:36

I wouldn't when you can avoid it.

Where I work initials are used on a lot of reports.

Isittimeformynapyet · 11/09/2026 00:23

I'll never forget having breakfast at BJ's cafe in Bristol - it's right opposite the Swallow Hotel.

Has anyone actually spelled out BLOW JOB in this thread yet? 😄

Marcipex · 10/09/2026 22:37

No don’t. Guess how I know

You too?

My initials are BJT but honestly it wasn't a problem. Still isn't in my 50's. Maybe because people don't use middle names much. If it were B with surname J, perhaps then I would've copped it!

Didn't do Boris Johnson any harm.

People thought he was a massive prick, but that's because he was a massive prick, not because of his initials.

His first name wasn't Boris

SpottyPyjama · 11/09/2026 00:05

Choose a different name

EveryoneUsingOutro · 10/09/2026 23:55

Noooooooo have you ever met a teenager? My god they can be brutal. Dont do that to your child!!

Hohofortherobbers · 10/09/2026 23:19

BJ is literally a family members nickname and this has only just occurred to me. Known to family as BJ, nobody has raised an eyebrow to this.

Honestly? 😂
What a bunch of innocents you must be!

VimesandhisCardboardBoots · 10/09/2026 23:26

I wouldn't.

My headmistress in comprehensive school was BJ Williams. She signed all the school letters like that. Just why? She was known by every single kid in that school as "BJ". Could have been Brenda Williams, could have been B Williams, but no, she decided to hand 400 teenagers a loaded gun and go with BJ

Bish?

IDontHateRainbows · 10/09/2026 23:31

I remember Becky Jennings from school. Poor Becky didn't understand the significance of her initials and introduced herself to everyone as BJ.

BigWig78 · 10/09/2026 23:23

No!
Could you add in a name- Besty Louise Jane Smith? Rather than Betsy Jane?

Pieceofpurplesky · 10/09/2026 23:22

As a PP mentioned - if they ever had a school hoodie (sport/trip) they would have BJ on it.
As a side note, imagine Boris Johnson as an AJ!

mondaytosunday · 10/09/2026 23:06

BJ and the Bear - ran for four seasons and I don’t think it occurred to anyone other than boys of 12 about the initials.

Boreded · 10/09/2026 22:54

Martiniolives · 10/09/2026 22:33

To name a baby a name that gives her the initials bj?

there would be a middle name but still. I worry about peers mocking too

Don’t do it…someone will definitely start it and then it could become a joke at her expense

Findingthissohard · 10/09/2026 22:53

Both my kids are at secondary and they have numerous T-shirts and hoodies with their initials on so I would never do this.
I got teased for my initials all the way through school and so this was a levy check for me on naming my kids
