Surname Reed - would you avoid these initials?

If your surname was Reed, would you avoid the initials B, C, F, G & T because when you write the first initial and the surname they'd spell:

Breed
Creed
Freed
Greed
Treed

All are words.

Or am I over thinking this?

Over thinking.

I quite like the fact that the initial and surname would spell a word but would prefer to avoid greed.

I might avoid BReed or GReed because they are tease-worthy. But I think the others are fine.

My sons initials are MESS. We realised this but liked the names too much to change them. No one has commented on it so far!

OVER thinking.

over thinking it, especially if there will be a middle name?

Don't go for Greed or Breed

agree that G Reid and B Reid are the worst but other than that, fine.
