Would these initials put you off? (Baby names)

[WiIdfire]

Our choice of girls names would give the initials BAD. Would that be a problem or am I overthinking it?

On a separate note, I'm thinking of Toby for if it is a boy, but I don't really like Tobias. Can Toby be short for anything else? Just to give him options when he's older.

Could you add a second middle name?

Toby could also be short for Tobin or Tobiah.

You cannot use the initials BAD. It's just inviting mockery.

I don't think those initials would put me off a name I loved.

Love Tobin for nn Toby.

I'm similarly assuming I shouldn't use a name that spells PIG. For me I think I just can't do it.

BAD I think I'd avoid. Can you put an extra middle name in?

I have a Toby full name Tobias, no one realised his full name - including my DM and the boy himself - until he was about 6. I always thought if he didn't like Toby, he'd probably call himself by his middle name rather than Tobias, which is similar to Toby.

Bad is well bad. Don't do it.

Nobody cares, honestly my initials are much worse and nobody cares,

No one will care. I think the initials BAD are quite cool anyway.

Thanks for the opinions. Our second choice gives BED which Im not sure is better, especially when teenaged :-)
I think we'll look again. A second middle name could work, but I'm not so keen. No particular reason.

I like Tobin - thanks!

You could just choose a middle name that doesn't begin with a vowel.

Toby on its own is v nice.

Yes I think a non-vowel is the answer. I might have to avoid BJ D aswell though!!!

Definitely not Joanne, Josephine, Jemima et al as a middle name

My girl's initials are BG so we avoided vowel mns, I didn't want her initials to spell BAG, BEG, BIG, BOG or BUG! Also avoided J for obvious reasons!

Please think carefully about calling your child Tobin. To me, and a lot of people, it just means serial killer

I wouldn't be one bit bothered by the initials BAD.

STD yes, BAD no.

Ha! Yes, my first choice of Simon Thomas D... didnt last very long.

I definitely dont want serial killer. Off the list again I guess...

Can you just swap the order of the names, so it's ABD, but use the middle name as the main name?

I wouldn't do it to them. Choose a different middle name.

Don't use the middle name as the main name, that's what DH has & it is a right pain.

I wouldn't be bothered by BAD. I would avoid STD though, and BJD.

I wouldn't use BAD. I'd add another middle name. Am I the only one who has no idea why BJG is a problem? DH doesn't know either. I'm guessing it's something rude.

It's fine..

Everyone has problems with BJ because blow jobs, but in reality, I've known HUNDREDS of Benjamin John's (etc) and noone has ever been thick enough to be fussed - including sex obsessed teenagers.

I wouldn't be put off, though.

Tobin wouldn't have that resonance for me and he'd be Toby everywhere that mattered, right? Or just have Toby on the certificate, it's a fine mane.
