Initials - is this cool or madness or am I overthinking

If we use our first-choice name as a first name, and our second-choice name as a middle name, it spells out a likely abbreviation of the first name.

So for example (these aren't the names, but same principle) Thomas Oliver Murphy - giving a kid who will most likely be called Tom the initials T.O.M.

Is that bonkers or a cool bonus if he ever wants to get a monogrammed satchel?

My son's name is like this. We didn't notice until he was about 12.

It really wouldn't be a consideration for me.

My own initials are awful - parents to the day they died wouldn't have known why. It has had zero impact on my life.

DC4 will have the first name and two middle name initials spell my maiden name. its coincidence but i really love it the more i think about it.

i think its cool and most people wont notice anyway - how often do you use the child's full name anyway!

If I had had a girl I wanted to call her Rose Elizabeth Surname beginning with D. Then she would have been Rose Red.

We have seriously considered calling our child Noah Oliver Albert H... because I think it would be awesome to have his initials spell his name. We ruled it out because it seemed contrived, but this thread has made me reconsider! Only 19w pregnant so I'm sure I'll change my mind a million times yet.
