I can't use these initials can I?

[putputput]

One of the only girls names me and dh agree on begins with a B.
Our surname begins with S.
I can't have a little girl with the initials BS can I?

Worse is that the middle name we have agreed on would begin with J.
BJS would definitely be out wouldn't it?

I wouldn't. Our surname begins with O so there are certain 1st name letters we didn't even consider.

Oh I think it's fine! It's a bit funny if you notice it but it's not that obvious - hardly ASS or TIT or something.

my dn is ARS and it took for it to be pointed out to me by her older sister 5 years later for me to realise often call her by her first two names and we have the same surname lol!

BJS would definitely be out wouldn't it.
Erm 'fraid so, sorry.

Oh boo :( yes you're all right I think, back to the drawing board I guess.

Uh... No, sorry.

B (something) S (BAS, BLS, BYS...)? Sure. BJS? No, I'm sorry.

What is bjs?

Xmas

Plural of BJ (=blowjob), I would have thought? BJs?

Also the British Journal of Surgery ;)

I don't think the initials BS matter at all.

Oh ok of course - don't think it's a deal breaker though. Do people really look at initials much?

BS is fine. Go for it.

But not BJS!

I wouldn't use BJS but BS with a different middle name is okay I think.

(One of my dc has the initials PLEB - so I might not be the best to advise though!)

Some people do think initials matter. People who have double meaning initials are probably a high proportion of them.

OK sure. No, I think it's OK. Most people don't really use their middle name in daily life. I hardly know anyone's middle names. If I was using initials I'd only use BS.

No one would see BJS and read "BJs" surely? Like you'd actually meet a child or an adult and say their initials as bee-jays?
Wouldn't you just say bee-jay-ess?

I'd say BS was worse than BJS as people do actually say "BS".

I wouldn't, but DC1 has the initials RAT so what the hell do I know!

I think bjs or bs is fine!

I think BS is fine. BJS not so fine.

What about JBS?
I am e.g. IPG, always called P to avoid being PIG. That doesn't get round the BS initials, which I don't think are that bad.

I know someone who has given their DD the initials BO. The first name is also a masculine version of a unisex name as well. Not a great idea really.

😂 I'm pretty immature so I'm going to say definitely not especially with the B. If it makes me laugh it will make kids laugh at her at school.
BS I don't think it's necessarily too bad but BJs no you can't

Unless your initials are monogrammed on a towel who even knows or thinks about it?

I did know a kid with ASS initials and had a monogrammed towel though.

Well, I got monogrammed stuff when I married DH (I think it's a rather normal wedding gift, isn't it? Or maybe not in the UK, Idk.)

And we also needed monogrammed stuff for school. I just imagine a recorder sheath with the initials "BJS" on it... I mean. That would be rather akward, wouldn't it?

Like Britney Jean Spears?

I mean I'm a fan of hers and I don't think I've ever thought twice about her initials being BS/BJS or that she named an album Britney Jean (BJ). In the real world people generally don't notice or care about these things.

i don't think kids would pick up on BS tbh, not till high school anyway.
