Would you say something... friends baby has initials TB...

[KnitterNotTwitter]

A lovely friend of mine just announced their babies birth on Facebook last night. I instantly spotted that it will have the initials TB and almost quipped back a joke about how she's a doctor and how amusing it was to have medical initials... But then I wondered if they didnt' realise... Can they not have done the intials test...?

Would you say something...?

Presumiably they love the name and wouldn't change it even if they hadn't realised...

no don't say anything!

it really doesn't matter does it?!

My initials are TB, I think maybe 3 times in my life someone has commented on it. You really don't need to worry about it!

I don't think I'd comment tbh. TB are not particularly bad initials imo.

No I wouldn't say anything.

I wouldn't say anything. it's not as if it's something like Celia Ursula Naimh Taylor. TB as initials wouldn't bother me.

did you really think it was amusing?!! maybe you need to get out more

Which is worse - tuberculosis or Tony Blair? There's only one way to find out...

Lots of initials have attached meanings, or will acquire them. These ones aren't that bad (and one is transitory). I wouldn't say anything.

It does not matter , no one will care, don't say anything.

Presumably there is a middle name. I would not say anything.

No I wouldn't burst their bubble.

Those initials don't seem like a huge problem really, I wouldn't say anything.

I think this is a sign that you have spent too long on the Baby Names topic

My dds initials are TB. I think it's fine

I would expect that they do realise but decided it doesn't matter a jot.
It's hardly going to make the DC a laughing stock.

TB to me means trial balance
You can tell I work in accounts

ds's initials are TB. the only person who ever commented (and fell about laughing) on it was a complete twat who thankfully we no longer have to see very often

Of course you shouldn't say anything.

Can't believe you even considered it TBH

Not something I'd notice, only realized Tony Blair had those initials now.

Wow, talk about over-thinking stuff.

Eh?! My 11 year old's initials are TB, and no one has ever commented on it. My Grandmother died of TB too. . . but it didn't even cross my mind to make the connection, until I read this thread!

Now, if circumstances had been different, bearing in mind we named him after various Grandparents, his inititials might have been TWAT. Now we did comment and laugh about that . . .

I also wouldn't say anything and I too have only just realised Tony Blair has these initials.

DD2 is WC, with middle initials. We liked the name. Nobody has ever said anything to my face
