Initials spell S.O.D....

Hello

We’ve fallen in love with the name Sophie Olivia but our Surname begins with a ‘D’.... is it too bad for her initials to spell SOD? It’s not something I would have ever noticed, but my OH did straight away... I also sort of like Isabella, but it also sounds funny with our surname... at least we are certain on a first name! Middle name is proving tricky 😬

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

Little SOD 😂😂😂

Seekingmiracles · 14/01/2018 19:42

I would notice and I don't think it's fair.
We vetoed lots of lovely 'A' names because middle name was set in stone and DDs initials would have been ASS.

Erm Sophie Olivia Diane D wouldn't actually solve the problem!

paxillin · 14/01/2018 18:58

That is a relief, @raviolidreaming.

raviolidreaming · 14/01/2018 18:57

It's fine, Pax. My initials are CUNTFLAPS but nobody has ever noticed. My work email address is [email protected] and I sign my initials on important document. Nobody has ever said anything and I think it would be very immature of them to. It really isn't a big deal. My brother is KNOB.

paxillin · 14/01/2018 18:31

So we've had S.O.D. and A.S.S. suggested recently on MN. Is someone going to ask if K.N.O.B. or C.U.N.T. is fine, too? I'm sure some would still say it's all hunky dory.

I knew someone at school who had initials DOG. He was always called Dog.

Twickerhun · 14/01/2018 17:27

I had unfortunate initials until I married. Please don’t do this to your child.

ThatsWotSheSaid · 14/01/2018 17:26

Wow I would never notice this sort of thing but obviously other people would.

EveryoneTalkAboutPopMusic · 14/01/2018 17:23

Here too Bastard

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 14/01/2018 17:22

Don't do it. Who wants to be laughed at.

Add another name.

bastardkitty · 14/01/2018 17:20

Tuppence meant vagina where I grew up.

EveryoneTalkAboutPopMusic · 14/01/2018 17:16

Mike Theresa is ok but I think Tuppence would be better.

SandLand · 14/01/2018 15:06

And as someone who had the intials ASS, I plead with you not to do it since you have noticed

blueskypink · 14/01/2018 14:52

SODDD - for you maybe. And that's great. But why take the risk?

SODDDD · 14/01/2018 14:27

As someone who actually does have the initials SOD, I'm pretty bemused by this thread.

It's really not that big a fucking deal, guys.

paxillin · 14/01/2018 14:11

Who even still says 'sod' anyway?

500 mentions of the word on MN in any two weeks on AS. Common enough I'd say.

MikeUniformMike · 14/01/2018 14:08

Sophie Tess Davies is lovely. STD on all her school stuff. Sniggers in the workplace. Such fun.
I prefer Sophie Teresa though.

Lucylululu · 14/01/2018 14:07

I think it's fine. Who even still says 'sod' anyway? Definitely no children/teens! And by the time she's an adult I doubt anyone will be juvenile enough to say anything if they notice,which is unlikely

paxillin · 14/01/2018 13:55

SOD (and ASS of recent MN fame) will change their name on their 18th birthday. Let's hope they don't suffer too badly until then.

EveryoneTalkAboutPopMusic · 14/01/2018 13:37

I would perhaps put anothe name in there. My DU’s initials spelt FAT and he changed his first name almost as soon as he became an adult.

at Mike. So Sophie Tess is out too then?

buckleten · 14/01/2018 13:25

Could you add in Isabella as well, so she has four initials? Nothing bad about S.I.O.D or S.O.I.D, I think that would be a lovely name!

MikeUniformMike · 14/01/2018 13:24

I would avoid a middle name starting with T for your little Sophie.

FreddieClaryHorshieLion · 14/01/2018 13:08

I’m not sure whether it’s compulsory or just the ‘done thing’ at my niece’s school.

DN and her friends seem to be obsessed with their initials and middle names, btw. There were several monogrammed items on her Christmas wish list

RavenWings · 14/01/2018 13:05

Oh god no. Just add another middle name in if you don't want to change Olivia.
