To give DD the initials SSS?

[Skiil]

Is it too much? What if she has a lisp?

I love the names so bloody much! Always have done, I always thought I could get away with SS, but then I married a man that has a surname beginning with S!

As an SS from birth with an SSS mother I'd say do it. Has not caused any problems whatsoever. I loved my aliterated name!

My initials are SS and I didn't know about the Nazi connection, and no one has ever mentioned it

Unfortunately I DO have a slight lisp so I do regret not being called Holly like I was meant to be. Sorry, not helpful

My mum was born in 1948, and her initials were SS.

You can imagine how well that went down.

About as well as the friend of a friend whose surname was Powell. Like a lot of Jamaican immigrants to Britain in the 1950s his parents were deeply religious and favoured biblical names for their children. Yep you guessed it, a few years before the infamous rivers of blood speech his parents saddled him with the name Enoch Powell.

My daughter's full initials are SESS. Both my surname and my ex-husband's names begin with S. S is her first name, E is her middle name.

On a daily basis she just uses his surname so she's basically SS.

It's just NOT a problem, not in any way, not SS, not SESS or SSS.

Back when I was younger I remember another member of staff was pregnant and she was toying with name ideas and a customer said " just don't do what I did"
We all asked her for the story, her and DH has chosen a name for their daughter and after they registered her they realised her initials meant something not nice.
Her daughters initials spelt STD!
Does your DH think it will be a problem or? I can't see anything wrong with SSS or maybe I'm missing something

My initials prior to getting married were SS. My dad is Jewish and it obviously didn't bother him. I never really thought about it at all until I had one job when we had rotas with our initials on, and another when our email addresses were [email protected] (my poor colleague's initials were BO).

I'm an SS and Jewish (thanks, parents). Please re-think. I'm aware of it, friends have (jokingly) mentioned it, and I'm now jumping through naming hoops to make sure our LO doesn't end up with an alliterative name.

BTW I'm also Jewish, my grandparents and mother were Holocaust survivors. The SS thing didn't bother my mum one jot. Just give your DD the name you love. I love my daughter's name and like I say, alliteration is rather nice.

My first and last initials were SS before I got married. My middle name also has an "s" sound in it. My parents couldn't have known this when I was born, but I also have a lisp (it's quite mild now but was worse as a child). Quite unfortunate really, although comedic I suppose.
