Initials SLT

34 replies

I think we've finally decided on our baby name. The only issue is that the initials would be SLT (or possibly SLFT if we add a 2nd middle name). When you see those initials do you see the word "slut", or am I being crazy? DH certainly thinks so!

Those are my initials Blush can’t say it’s ever been a problem but now I’m wondering if people do make the association and are just too polite to tell me Hmm

Senior Leadership Team here, and I'm not a teacher.

I saw Senior Leadership Team too (in Education).

Debby08 · 06/12/2017 15:40

I think it stand for Senior Leadership Team

I didn't see slut but did see slot. We use initials at work to identify ourselves on the system and we do make words up from them to help us remember who's who.

Thankfully my initials sound like a word and don't have to be linked to anything else but some initials are horrendous, e.g. we have someone with PL as their first initials, the last one is ignored and she gets ploppy...

MikeUniformMike · 06/12/2017 14:37

I saw Slot.

SumAndSubstance · 06/12/2017 12:02

When I see those I think ‘senior leadership team’ but then I work in education

My dad was a teacher and he always referred to the Senior Leadership Team as 'slut' Wink

NoqontroI · 05/12/2017 23:12

Salt or slut here.

MummySparkle · 05/12/2017 23:12

Senior Leadership Team here too! (I just typed SLT instead of in full then because I'm so used to abbreviating it!)

Definitely don't see slut at all. I'd go for it. I know someone whose initials were RAT before she got married. We thought it was quite cool actually

stellarfox · 05/12/2017 23:09

The geographer in me saw silt

SantaStuckInTheChimney · 05/12/2017 21:30

I also saw senior leadership team. I definitely didn't think slut.

Smoliver · 05/12/2017 21:21

I read it as SALT Grin

redexpat · 05/12/2017 13:35

Senior leadership team.

firawla · 05/12/2017 13:35

Speech and language therapist for me. Slut didn’t cross my mind

Mrscog · 05/12/2017 13:33

Yeah- Senior Leadership Team for me!

BenLui · 05/12/2017 13:29

I don’t work in education but I see Senior Leadership Team too.

Mrsknackered · 05/12/2017 13:26

Another one for Speech and Language.

It didn't occur to me my first thought was maybe you thought it was too similar to BLT, which is a ridiculous thought

MagicFajita · 05/12/2017 13:00

Yep. Senior leadership teamSmile

rainsbows · 05/12/2017 12:25

Definitely senior leadership team

I read it as 'slit'. Is that worse?

Pannacott · 05/12/2017 08:37

Speech and language therapist here too.

YesThisIsMe · 05/12/2017 08:14

Initials often used in my workplace. But I don’t think anyone except you would look at those letters and see “slut”.

Phew! That's definitely reassuring to hear that you guys don't see it either. Wasn't sure if DH was just saying it because he couldn't hear any more discussions on baby names! 😂

Senior leadership team / speech and language therapist both sound like pretty good job prospects so don't mind either of those hehe!
