Are these initials appropriate?

[littlebitfanny]

I have a son who's a VG. I've chosen another V name for DD and wondered if VG is a bad idea?

Nobody has made the connection to my son at all before, and he doesn't have an 'A' middle name so isn't literally VAG

But MIL said to me recently 'Oh no, not another VAG! '

She said she didn't want to say first time round but thought she best since this is a DD.

The middle name will either start with D, so VDG, or two middle names so 'VGAG'

Any thoughts? I didn't make the connection before

You're mother in law is an idiot.
I have got to the age 42 without ever considering initials, like...how many times in your life have you ever had to write yours and for what purpose?

You make a good point! I had to really think what mine are for a second, not something I think of

Mine is GB, which makes me sound like a Nigel Farage fan hahaha but I don't care.
It says more about her dirty mind lol.

We use ours all the time at work for filling out checklists etc. BUT being a grownup I wouldn’t think twice about VAG as initials.

( Might have a titter at NOB though)

But then wouldn't you just write "VG"

If if I saw VAG I would be amused and a bit sorry for them but it’s not VAG. I think it’s a bit odd to go from VG to VAG in your head. Do they see CM and think CUM? It’s an odd leap and inaccurate.

I made sure my DD didn’t spell out anything negative eg DIC or FAT etc but I would never think of Vag for VG if there wasn’t an A name in the middle.

I wouldn’t give her an A middle name, but VG or VDG is fine. VG isn’t exactly shorthand for vag… and initials aren’t THAT important.

I had a friend at school with BJ as her initials, who made a big deal out of it when were 13/14/15… I’m not sure if it was out of a need to feel adult, or if she thought it protected her more from other people mentioning it. But other than her, I have never known anyone make a big deal out of initials.

Especially initials that don’t actually spell anything.

The only connections I would make with VG would be a 'Very Good' from a teacher on written work or the old VG Food Stores from my youth, certainly not 'vag' that's a bit strange!

I have to use my initials a lot in my work and VAG or similar would be mortifying. I wouldn't personally but they're your kids and who knows what they'll end up doing in the future etc.

It’s a bit annoying when someone else in the same house has the same initials. We have three and it’s very frustrating when my post is opened by the other G A Smiths*. It’s becoming more common now fewer firms use titles, including the bank all three of us use. Doesn’t help that we all have long names so writing down takeaway orders, to do lists, etc. gets a bit tricky. Minor problems but easily avoided.

• Made up initials and name

When I saw VG in your post I immediately knew what your issue would be but I don’t think many people would think anything of those initials. It’s a bit of a leap.

My initials are VG….never had an issue with it in the 14 years they’ve been my initials (married surname).

I went to school with a boy whose initials were BRA. Not sure his parents thought that one through!

I wouldn’t think vag from VG or VDG.
Like a PP said, I also wouldn’t give new DC the same first initial as someone else in the household as it’s annoying with post.

I see CM as cervical mucus

🤣🤣🤣 That’s some niche thoughts OP

VG to me was the name of a Spar type shop when I was a child in the 70s.

I know a child with the initials ARS.

I'm a VG - or I was until I changed to my married surname. I have literally never had a single comment nor has it ever crossed my mind.

VG is ‘very good’ to me like a previous poster. So you have Very Good children

We use initials all the time at work too, including middle initial if there are two of the same first/last. So I would consider it carefully but VDG is fine. However I agree that same initials in a household is annoying when it come to mail with people opening the wrong letters.

My first thought was Very Good too.

VG made me think Very Good - your MIL is crazy. If the kids have your husband's surname then you could freak her out by pretending that dc2 will have your maiden name

I don't think the Volkswagen Audi Group care.

I married and became a VAG 🤣

Just as well I don't want a private plate for my car .🙈
