Even our kids call him Dee Dee 🤣

CD and LP for the music fans

TwattyMcFuckFace · 19/07/2025 23:52

Oh and we also have a JD in the family

That's either 'Job Description' or 'Jack Daniels', depending on which way you think 😁🥃

Saponaria · 19/07/2025 23:54

N.O would be pretty cool. Or B.S

My nan's initials are HMV

SchnizelVonKrumm · 19/07/2025 23:59

I know a couple, R and D. They have 2 sons, also with first initials R and D. So they're R2D2 Grin

My unmarried initials are KO. I quite like them.

SprayWhiteDung · 20/07/2025 00:16

I remember reading an article about a rather 'infamous' man who died and they showed a photo of his gates, with his initials (not his wife's, mind) proudly and magnificently displayed in wrought iron in the middle.

His initials were WC. So probably not those, then...

TwattyMcFuckFace · 20/07/2025 00:21

I'd quite like my initials to spell 'LOL' now I think about it.

In my world that would mean you have a US law degree.

We also sign off with initials at work, and sometimes call each other by initials. My faves are:

AX (pronounced axe)
JZ (say it jay zee like the rapper)
CC (we call her cece obv)

We also have a TB which is less fortunate and a WW which takes longer to say than his whole name.

Mine's very boring. I would swap for OK or IQ I reckon 😂

scotstarstrikestwo · 20/07/2025 00:28

I know of someone with a hyphenated first name which she chooses to shorten to BJ, even her bosses call her that.. I just couldn't!

I like dubdub! (Possibly because I like dubstep)

Maxorias · 20/07/2025 00:45

Mine are CAB, which isn't great !
I also have a MIB, which I didn't realize at the time could refer to the movie...

Knew a RK which I thought was cool (no special meaning but badass letters).

We do also sign off emails with initials sometimes, I usually leave off the middle name !

Mmhmmn · 20/07/2025 00:46

N.O. 🤭

GretaGip · 20/07/2025 00:50

DD's initials are SMD which meant nothing in the early 90s when I named her.

Now obviously they have an erm connotation...

😬
