Initials - is this cool or madness or am I overthinking

If we use our first-choice name as a first name, and our second-choice name as a middle name, it spells out a likely abbreviation of the first name.

So for example (these aren't the names, but same principle) Thomas Oliver Murphy - giving a kid who will most likely be called Tom the initials T.O.M.

Is that bonkers or a cool bonus if he ever wants to get a monogrammed satchel?

I like it!

Just have a think about whether you might like to use the second choice name for another baby.

Hahaha thanks. I think I'd quite like it if my parents had done it for me...

I think it's fine! There are so many worse things that you could end up with, I wouldn't worry.

You really are overthinking it IMO!
