JJJ as initials? Too ridiculous?

Love Jasper as a first name.

Have to have James as a middle name.. (Every male in my family as its a family surname that's going to die out)

And our surname is J..... A veeeery popularJ first name!

Jasper James J.... Totally silly?

Felicity Milly Molly Mandy isn't real. She's a character from a book

Felicitywascold · 23/10/2012 19:33

Ok ok I got my Milly, Molly, Mandy post wrong...

However, I stand by the sentiment that there is nowt wrong with three J names in a row. It is not as if the child is likely to be called all three names at once, out loud, regularly is it?

I like alliteration (although I agree, Milly, Molly, Mandy is a bit much... Which is why I didn't think it was real!), what your proposing is fine.

Crikey, Felicity, that was a strong and silly post!

OP, I like Jasper Jones. Would it be silly to add another middle name to buffer it a bit?

jojane · 22/10/2012 19:45

My first and middle names begin with j, growing up I was determined to marry a mr jones or mr Jameson or what ever so I would be jjj!! Unfortunately mr right had a different initial for his surname so I am now jjs

"Milly, Molly, Mandy weren't all the same person for heavens sake"

Milly-Molly-Mandy is one (fictional) person, see here

SkiBumMum · 22/10/2012 19:41

Felicity Milly Molly Mandy's full name is Milicent Margaret Amanda

LonelyCloud · 22/10/2012 19:38

Felicitywascold - Milly-Molly-Mandy was all the same person.

Snowflakepie · 22/10/2012 19:36

As long as the first name and last name sound right together, the other initials don't matter. Hardly used anyway. As long as they don't spell something rude its fine.

Milly, Molly, Mandy weren't all the same person for heavens sake Hmm

Triple J is a western Australian music station...

I adore alliteration so a bug thumbs up from me

BackOnceAgainWithLoopyLoops · 22/10/2012 16:55

Milly Molly Mandy. Not sure tbh.

Felicitywascold · 22/10/2012 16:52

It's really fine. Only MN hysteria would convince anyone otherwise. Out there ... In the real world. Noone cares/notices/raises an eyebrow.

MoelFammau · 22/10/2012 16:48

Why are some folk so anti-alliteration? My name alliterates and everyone comments on how funky it is. I'm 34.

justhayley · 21/10/2012 20:54

I think add another name to break it up a bit. It's not ridiculous though as middle names arnt used that much anyway.

LonelyCloud · 21/10/2012 20:00

It reminds me of John Jonah Jameson from Spiderman Grin

CrapBag · 21/10/2012 20:00

I don't see how initials matter tbh.

No one is going to think "oh look at him with 2 j's as initials' and take the piss.

As long as it isn't spelling out 'KNOB' or something then its fine. Grin

I was JJ before I got married. I also know a
couple called Joy and Jeremy Jackson which I love! Never caused any of us any probs.

ScaryBeardyDeadyman · 21/10/2012 10:46

you might want this then

FromHereToNextTuesday · 21/10/2012 10:44

I know 2 JJJs (both men in mid-twenties) and they both like it. It's fine!

GlaikitFizZombie · 21/10/2012 10:44

I think its fine. Go for it!

I wouldn't mind if my child was a superhero Wink

Do you want your child to be a marvel superhero/character? They all have alliterative names...
