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!

Edited

Neither could I! 😁. It always made me smirk thinking that Boris Johnson's are BJ! (There is a part of me that never grew up)

brother went to school with a boy who had the initials BUM - his middle name was Unicorn! Parents must have done it for a joke

My son’s first and middle initials are MR. So his name can be written as Mr Surname which I thought was quite cool when I noticed.

I’m a KR and I noticed other people were starting to sign off emails with KR and I thought they were going mad 🤣

I like KV because I love guinea pigs (cavies) 🐹🐹🐹

My youngest is OK - with his middle name he is OFK.

Mine are JO but my first name is Jo

PickettWhiteFences · 20/07/2025 01:18

We also use initials at work (including middle names) on our software, mine is GAL, which I quite like. Makes up for the middle name that I don't like 🤣

ACynicalDad · 20/07/2025 01:18

Someone was CJ in school when Baywatch was big. Less recognisable now.

Mine are JO but my first name is Jo

My SIL name is Jo and she was telling me a while ago she confuses people by typing too fast and signing off her emails "Hi" (which is next to "Jo" on the keyboard 😂)

WizardOfAus · 20/07/2025 01:26

CJ will always be cool

My brother's initials are PHD.

mondaytosunday · 20/07/2025 01:32

A friend named his kid so she’d have ACE as initials. I managed to get my car reg in my initials! Last car had my kids initials.

My brother's initials are PHD.

Cheaper!

BettyCrockerClinic · 20/07/2025 01:42

I’d be more concerned about bad initials. VD is an unfortunate example.

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

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

Now obviously they have an erm connotation...

😬

Surface Mounted Device to me!

Underoverallaround · 20/07/2025 03:17

JR is cool but only in the Dallas context.

Love the idea of AC and DC Grin

Underoverallaround · 20/07/2025 03:20

Omg have just realised my mum and dad are AC and DC 🤣 how has that escaped me!!

KimberleyClark · 20/07/2025 04:16

My dad’s initials were DIE. Possibly not a good idea to sign anything off with those.

BooneyBeautiful · 20/07/2025 04:25

Former neighbour had a child with the initials GOD.

ThePussy · 20/07/2025 08:36

I was at school with a girl whose initials were ZQ. That’s quite cool!

1clavdivs · 20/07/2025 08:51

My initials are CC and I hate initialling things because it looks like a bum. Not cool.

overthinker001 · 20/07/2025 08:55

My friends are PBJ…..peanut butter jelly time!!

Westun · 20/07/2025 08:59

I know someone with the initials AZ and almost everyone calls her Ay Zee rather than their her name.
