Is it silly to name DS1 so that his initials will be GBH?

[DollyDaisy]

1 week to go and we've just realised our favourite 1st and middle names will result in GBH!

Yes. Please rethink!

I wouldn't let that put you off too much if you love the names. it's hard enough getting names that you like without having to check the initial too - unless it's actually rude or something.

Maybe there is something rude about gbh that I don't know about?

Yes it is.

At school we had to have our initials embroidered on our PE kit (including middle names).

If either of our ds's had been girls, I've just realised that their initials would have been LMP - not great!

It's unfortunate, but if you really, really love the names, I think it is liveable with.

I'd think of the criminal offence (which is pretty safe for the playground IYSWIM), rather than the drug.

A rethink would be good IMO.

Is it that bad?
I know an ADHD and his parents are both teachers (and loons imo)

Don't do it. It will dog him forever

My dads initials are GBH and it doesn't cause him a problem. Most people would not work it out. We discovered DD;s initiaks were NIL when she was 6 weeks old - nonne else has noticed yet and shes 7.5 months now.

Oh don't worry about it: I never bothered to realise until the deed was done, that DC2 is OMG..! Given her personality, it's very fitting!

OMG {grin]

If you met her, you would honestly see how fitting this was : she is coming up for 8 now, and DH pointed it out last week: I truely had never realised/thought about it til then!

When you think about it, it could be worse: WTF, FFS, PMS, LOL, spring to mind.. I wonder how many people's initials are FFS??!!

My initial were G.O at school we had to have them written on our shoes for PE so when I lined up for any sort of running event...well
Even worse my uncles initials were B.O....

DS's initial are JCB

Wonder whether anyone has the initials AIBU? :o

I wouldn't worry too much. I don't think many children would understand GBH would they? Unless they had experience in that area of course

I do think GBH is a bad choice. I don't veto a lot of intitials but ones best known as serious interpersonal assault are probably not the best idea.

Yes.

I've just said this on another thread, but why not add a second middle name?
