Ooh!!!
I know of someone named Tim, with brother Tom and sister Sam and all of their initials spelled their names, so
Timothy Ian M~~~~~
Thomas Oliver M~~~~~
Samantha Anne M~~~~~

I can't make it work with my surname but I'd be so tempted to do that!

Mine, strangely enough, is ...

Mike Grin

Mine are CAKE

DH would have been ARSE until his parents realised and swapped the order of the names around.

ARM is totally fine.

Although assuming the M is the surname I'd be tempted to find names that made YUM or WHAM sorry not helpful I know

Fine.
DIC or DIK not so much.

MikeUniformMike · 23/09/2017 13:25

'Armless enough.

Mine spell SEA. The only issue is that this is also the abbreviation for South East Asia at work which is sometimes a PITA.

I know a child who's initials are JCB - he was affectionately known as Digger when he was younger.

I don't think ARM will be a problem.

Should clarify, not just at school, until I got married! Blush

Mine spelt BAD at school. Or RAD depending on whether I used my shortened name.

HoratioNightboy · 23/09/2017 13:01

My cousin's initals are PIS - she'd love it if they were just ARM!

MammieBear · 23/09/2017 07:04

There are worse thing out there to spell, ARM is fine in comparison.

PenelopeFlintstone · 23/09/2017 02:32

Doesn't matter.

TatianaLarina · 23/09/2017 02:21

Really doesn't matter.

HappyLollipop · 23/09/2017 01:34

That's fine I knew a girl who's initials spelt ASS.

Perfectly1mperfect · 23/09/2017 01:29

I would avoid it if possible. Do you have another middle name you could add maybe ?

Sophronia · 23/09/2017 01:17

My nephews initials are ARMS. I think it’s ok.

ItchyFoot · 23/09/2017 00:05

I knew a boy at school who's initials spelt MRS. Nobody really said anything.

DuggeeHugs · 23/09/2017 00:04

I don't think it would bother me so I'd go ahead with my choice
