Initials?

Are the initials B A G acceptable do you think? Would they result in teasing or are they fairly innocuous? Thanks!

That's fine. How many times do you even use your initials anyway? Someone I know has F.A.R.T so I think B.A.G is quite acceptable!

Could be worse, but would you consider swapping the A and B names around to get A B G instead?

No. I would stay clear of BAG.

I had BAT and I swapped the middle names around but mainly because the surname rhymes with it. Swap it before you register though (unlike I did) as it bothered me later and I had to change it at the registry office which means the original version stays on the birth cert and it just gets amended at the bottom unfortunately

My initials spell out a word. I doubt if anyone has ever noticed.

FART - that is hilarious!! hahahaha!!

Personally, I wouldn't go for BAG. Actually, I'd steer clear of any middle name starting with a vowel for that reason.

Absolutely NOT a good idea in my opinion.

I don't think BAG is too bad. My surname was Baggs before I got married though!

gagamama · 16/07/2010 16:08

I think BAG is fine. BIG, BOG or BUG I would steer clear of though! I can't think of many situations where initials are used, and DC can always use BG if they find BAG troublesome.

My Ex's surname was hole. His middle name began with 'A'

I always wondered what his parents were thinking!

Although it turned out they were pretty much right.

DuelingFanjo, are you serious?! Really made me - especially that they were right!

I often wonder what the manshapes parents were thinking. His initials are S.T.D.
