Can I get away with DAMM initials?

DH and I have finally agreed on name for DD2 but realised initials will be DAMM! Is that really awful?

It doesn't matter in the slightest. Go for it!

I’ve never had to use initials in my life

My son has unfortunate initials but we’ve never had cause to write them out in full. It really doesn’t matter. Plus DAMM is not that bad.

No - rearrange names

Depends. Is the M part of a double-barelled surname or a second middle name?

I really don’t think it’s a big deal.

The M's are surnames so can't change. I don't think I would mind DAMM personally as an adult now, but I don't know how a child would feel. And what will the judgemental relatives and friends think!!

Is the first name Damien? I wouldn't do it, I think it's an "omen"

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 21/11/2021 08:43

I wouldn’t. Switch the names.

InTheLabyrinth · 21/11/2021 08:42

I wouldnt do that.
Can you switch things to DMAM?

PanicBuyingSprouts · 21/11/2021 08:40

I wouldn't do it either.

toastofthetown · 21/11/2021 08:39

I wouldn’t do that. Could you switch the middle names around? Or if it’s a double barrelled surname can you add a surname?

Runnerduck34 · 21/11/2021 08:39

Not great, I would change middle names(s)

Mintyt · 21/11/2021 08:39

Yes it's fabulous

LoveComesQuickly · 21/11/2021 08:37

I think that would be fine.

Shasha17 · 21/11/2021 08:35

It's not ideal! Can you switch the middle names?
