Naff initials

Would it bother you if the names you chose for your little one meant they spelt something out?

For example, the names we are considering at the moment would give my baby (due in four weeks, eep), NAF.

I waver between thinking that you hardly ever write out names in initials anyway (wouldn't do so at school, etc) and that NAF isn't quite the same as naff, and thinking that if I can choose something else, maybe I should. But there aren't any other middle names I like at the moment. And at least it's not as bad as MAD or various other three/four letter words that could come up in initials.

It's silly to be thinking about this, isn't it?

Some initials are awful but NAF seems fine to me. I think it is most important to look at initial and last name together eg P. Rick.
