TJ?

I met a baby in the park yesterday called TJ. The mum was a bit scary so I didn't like to ask, but does anybody know if it is a name (Teejay??) or would it be short for something (Thomas James?)

Are you in Nottinghamshire by any chance?

There is a plethora of TJ/BJ (poor bugger) etc in the local Bonny Babe competition in my hometown.

I think, though I could be wrong (and dearly hope I am, for the sake of SensibleNames.com ) that it is just TJ (ie a set of initials, rather than being short for something....) The TJ I saw in the comp had a full (and equally vile) middle name attached to his TJ. (fortunately, one might say, not by a hyphen)

There was a oby in DS1's class who swore blind his name was PJ. Then I over heard his mum talking and discovered it was short for Peter James.

I think initiallys are always short for something. Aren't they?

There is an Ajay in my DD's class at school(I always assume was nickname but it isn't!) so it could be a name but could also be initials of 1st names!

Having said that I have heard of some people giving their child a middle initial that doesn't actually stand for anything, they just thought it sounded good.

I think it must be short for something. I've never heard of the name Teejay, although I once saw ESPN on a baby name list so I guess anything's possible.
