Is having the initials FBI a problem?

[UphillBothWays]

What do you reckon? What would you think if someone had the initials FBI in your workplace etc.?

The middle name can't be changed (family tradition) so it would mean picking a different first name.

I don't see why that is a problems, my brother initials spell Fags and no one has ever commented on it.

Good good :)

Thought as much, it's not like it's rude or anything, just notable when you see them.

I'd prefer not to have FBI as my initials. What is the F? That would be the deciding factor...

I'd think it was kind of amusing

But I don't think initials are a problem unless they spell something bad.

What is the F?

I can't see why it would be a problem to be honest.

I'd find it quite funny meeting someone with the initials F.B.I., as my dad is a Senior F.B.I. Agent back home in the States, so it raises a smile for me.

No not a problem.

I used to work with a guy from New York who's initials were CIA. We nicknamed him Langley. Apparently at school his nickname was Agent.

My all time favourite name would have given dd ARS. Obviously we chose something else, she is now GPS.
I don't think FBI is a big deal.

Nah it's a talking point. If your initials were going to be something puerile like BUM, NOB, NIP and the rest then you may have a reason to amend, but not for a government agency with overtones of cool.

No, dont see it as a problem - there are far far worse possible initials!!

Only a problem if he gets a job with the CIA - then it would cause confusion

I think it could get tiresome.

Quite cool, really!

We would have had a RAT and a PIT so added additional middle names, but FBI is quite cool and wouldn't be a problem IMVHO

I have a colleague whose initials are HELP it's a source of great amusement when it's written in agendas and minutes.

FBI is fine. . They'll probably think its very cool when they're teenagers.

FBI is fine, definitely cool rather than saddo.

Not like 'nits' or similar at all.

Go for it. It's not a bad one. We know a BSE. We obviously call them the mad cow behind their back.

Not a problem. Stop looking for problems or you will keep finding them
