Initials ARSF

After much deliberation we have decided on a first name beginning with. A. I have always had my heart set on naming a daughter after my mum whose name begins with R. DP's surname is double barrelled which is where the S and F come from. Would it be cruel to use a middle name beginning with R considering what the initials will be or am I over thinking it?

My initials spell SAG. No one has ever ever ever noticed or commented on it. The only time it gets brought up is if I mention it. I honestly wouldn't give it a moments thought.

Though I do thank my lucky stars that my mum decided against adding Louisa as a first middle name...she only realised what it would have spelt when I was 15 and pointed it out to her....

Sorry but I initially thought arse. Could you switch round the R and the A but still call him by the A name?

I thought arse too sorry

Yes of course people will think arse if you write something like arse down, but how often does that happen? Hardly ever. Unless you're requesting your initials on a set of towels maybe? I wouldn't worry.

Maybe a third middle name? You could give her a name from your DP mother or something?

The only time my initials have ever been written down was at uni as part of my academic email address. I'd probably be a bit Hmm if DH bought me towels with SAG on!
