Initials CJD do you immediately think of mad cow disease?

[KANGAD]

My husband thinks I'm being ridiculous but I am reluctant to use the names we like with these initials because of Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease.

Yes. Sorry.

Yes unfortunately

I do but my ex friend has a son with these initials and no one has ever mentioned it. Nor as far as I'm aware did it bring him any problems at school.
Not a risk. I'd take though

Yes, sorry

I'd be more likely to think of CJ from West Wing.

I do, but I think it's a generational thing. I expect younger people haven't even heard of it.

Yes

I like CZD.

No

No. Not at all.

I do, yes.

Adding an extra name in would put a stop to that though.

Young people wouldnt know, but it will be more an issue when the child is older I would think.

They were my initials before marriage. I was born in 1986 and the only people who ever spotted it were immediate family. At the time of the outbreak it was mentioned to me but it's irrelevant now.

Don't worry about it.

Yes, anyone associated with health or the medical profession will certainly think of it.

Do initials matter? I'm 39 and I don't remember my initials being particularly relevant in my life

Yes it makes me think of mad cow disease but as he will very likely never use all three initials I don't think it matters. I've rarely ever used two initials and certainly never three.

I think Cara Delvigne (sp??) is CJD

Yes but initials don't really matter unless you are lucky enough to afford to fret over monogrammed Louis Vuitton luggage.

Yes, sorry.

No, it won't matter. It would if it was something like TIT or CRAP, but no, I can't see this causing any problems.

Yes.

I think initials don't really matter, as long as you like the name. But then again, my DD's initials are EW, so it might not be best to take my advice.

Yes, sorry.

Yes. Sorry.
