Are the initials BJ really that bad?

We decided on a first name for our son early on (initial B), and have since decided to let our older DS give him a middle name. He's set on James, which is a lovely name and flows well. We all love the name and I thought all was set. However, now DH has said we can't call him that as his initials will be BJ. He has suggested swapping the names around/losing the middle name, but I like it as it is. Am I being naive and will my boy be forever known as 'blowjob' if we stick with the original name? It hadn't even occurred to me tbh. What do you think?

My DH has BJ as his initials and has never had any problems. So few people are aware of middle names that I really wouldn't worry :)

I'm not sure this is helpful, but our postcode ends in BJ, there have been many giggles down the phone when I give it out, especially if I'm slow to say 'that's BJ, bravo, Juliet' think for fun perhaps I should not use bravo Juliet??

I'll run it past a teenage boy for you later- but it's the weekend- you might have to wait a few hours!
