Initials - Am I overthinking??

We have our heart set on the name Abigail for a girl, however we were planning on using a family members name as the middle name which begins with an 'S' and our surname also begins with an 'S'. So that would mean the babies initials would spell 'A.S.S'. My husband thinks I am overthinking this and no-one would notice, but I am not sure, it seems very childish but then again they will have to live with it through school years.

If it makes any difference we are unlikely to use the middle name except for official documents, day to day I don't plan on using middle name.

So my question is would this stop you using this name?

Use another middle name as well to break up the initials eg, ASXS or AXSS.

Not for a second. I'm continually completely baffled at the playground approach to initials here. When would someone EVER be designated by all of their initials, including a middle initial?
