To give baby 2 letters for a name

A close relative has named their child a 2 letter name. None of business at all I know, but I feel for the child growing up. Its not Vi, Lu or Ed or something to makes a possible name- just letters. To make it worse IMO- the letters represent their own nicknames, not their actual names! Think something like these examples:
Baby will be legally named JT- after parents nn Juggly and Toddy or named CJ- after parents Chrisy and Joker or named TS after Toddy and Slobby.
Can a baby even be registered with 2 letters like that?

I know a JJ and a CJ, I do find it bizarre but at least it’s easy to spell!

I know someone with a daughter called Mary-Jane but she's knows as MJ - not keen on it myself I prefer the full version I don't get the initial as a name thing but I'm also in the "don't like surnames as first names camp"

How else could you pronounce it? They’re the same to me 🤷🏼‍♀️

i think the poster means it’s not pronounced Bee Oh
