To want to change my son’s name because of his siblings’ initials?

[OhDearOhDeer]

Ok I’m totally prepared to be told I’m being unreasonable but hear me out

I had my son last month and DH & I chose the name Jack. We have two DDs, and their names are Zoey and Iris

I’ve just realized their initials side by side spell out JIZ.

Should I change our son’s name because of this? DH thinks I’m being unreasonable and it’s no big deal

I agree with your DH.

Jack was born last so JIZ is not even their initials of the order they were born in.

YABU.

Do you mostly say/ write their names as
Z, I, J - so in birth order?

Who ever puts the initials of their kids together?

No big deal. Infact it’s not even a teeny deal.

Hormones 😂

Er.....why would Jack's name go first? In whatever universe you would need to have the kids' initials together, would it not be in age order, ZIJ?

Wouldn’t you normally list the children oldest to youngest? That’s how it generally is with people I know.

How many times is anyone going to see their initials anyway?

But it’s ZIJ, so you would be ridiculous to change his name (unless this is just an excuse and you’re having second thoughts anyway)

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

No, this is crazy. Nobody will ever think of this apart from you.

Congratulations on baby Jack, it's a lovely name.

How often are you going to put their initials together? If you do, as pp said, you'd do it eldest to youngest

You're being ridiculous even considering changing his name

😂😂😂 I think it is the hormones. Cried because I put my shoes on the wrong feet this morning 🙈

Totally unreasonable. I think you'll look back in time and laugh that this was something you even thought about.

I think you need some sleep. 😂😂😂

Get some sleep and have a stiff drink.

Awh bless you!

We’ve all been there! I remember crying in shopping centre as dh got in the lift with 1 week old ds, there wasn’t enough space for me… I cried becuase I thought he might steal him 😂

Congrats on your new baby! Do not panic about initials. Do not give it a second thought

If they had been your new babies initials then you may have had a point 😂

Have some sleep and cake (my solution to most things) and realise it's a none issue

No one ever puts children’s initials together.

changing your child’s name may create a lifetime of hassle for your child. Some careers require careful Id and document verification, even on a recurring basis. People with name changes have extra steps and sometimes take longer to process.

😂

It isn’t a big deal, please don’t worry about it.

My daughter doesn't have a middle name. Neither of my children do.

Her initials are TV. According to you she's either a Television or a Transvestite!

Hangs his name to Trevor.

Then they can be collectively called ZIT!

I have a necklace with mine and my DC’s initials on and they do move around so end up in a different order but I seriously doubt someone would look at a similar item if you had one and think you’d spelled ‘JIZ’ to wear around your neck. I’d presume they were separate initials.

I’ve never even thought about my siblings initials.

If you get a tattoo or item with their initials on them do it in age order.

Love this!

And I’m going to make it my solution to everything!

Nobody will ever think of this.

I'm in my mid (late!) thirties and have only just thought about writing my (3) siblings initials next to mine for the first time ever.... I don't write the initials of my children together either. If I did, I'd do it in birth order.

I think this is pure hormones, OP. I honestly wouldn't worry about this (or go as far as changing a name)!
