Dodgy initials

Hi
I’m currently ttc dc2 and have only just realised that our surname initial is a bit difficult!

It’s C, so does this rule out:

WC (toilet)
RC (arsey)
MC (rapper person?)
AC (air con)
PC (police constable)

I suppose being on her also reminds me of DC & NC.

I think the two that would bother me are WC and RC and these are my top boy and top girl name. Do they matter?

If you gave your child a middle name then that would maybe make it easier to avoid some of the unwanted acronyms?

Just use a mn that doesn't start with a vowel.

WC is my favourite, but I thought people might say that Sad

I also forgot VD, but I don’t think I have any ‘V’ names!

It's good to be aware but you can overthink a thing.
WC - best avoided.
The rest - doubt if people would think like that
