Will this initial have bad connotations?

First name is Samuel or Spencer.
Last name begins with C.
The middle name begins with W, after a family member.
So it will be SWC.

I am a bit worried about WC, smelly WC? Will this be a problem? Will this have other bad connotations?

If yes, how about adding another name, and making it SWHC?

Many thanks!

Btw, do you like Samuel or Spencer?

There's nothing untoward on abbreviations.com

Although the star wars role playing club is listed

Seriously?

BJ doesn't get comments anymore, I'd be beyond shocked if anyone even made the connection between WC and toilet, and at school they will know him as SC anyway, the middle name is never listed.

I wouldn't worry about this at all.

Thanks! As a foreign parent, it is better to check ;P

I don't think children think of a toilet as a WC any more, tbh.

Samuel and Spencer are both good solid names, I guess it's easy to shorten Samuel. Do they go equally well with your surname?

The family name is Cheung. Thanks again!

No one will notice that. I promise.

Spencer shits on Samuel! Spence is a far cooler nickname than Sam.
