Initials SLT

I think we've finally decided on our baby name. The only issue is that the initials would be SLT (or possibly SLFT if we add a 2nd middle name). When you see those initials do you see the word "slut", or am I being crazy? DH certainly thinks so!

When I see those I think ‘senior leadership team’ but then I work in education 😂

Initials are so rarely written down like that I really wouldn’t worry, give your baby the name you love

I agree, you almost never in adult life use your initials. These initials don't spell anything anyway. Go right ahead and choose the names you like.

I think Speech and Language Therapist

littlemissalwaystired · 05/12/2017 08:03

I read it as senior leadership team tooGrin

Grumpyoldwoman007 · 05/12/2017 08:07

I saw SALT and thought nickname salty. Slut never occurred to me

I disagree that initials are rarely written down. But I don't see slut, I see senior leadership team too.
Back in my teaching day the form groups were labelled according to the initials of the teacher. One group should have been MOO. It was changed to MOD but the kids all referred to the class and teacher as moo Sad

IveGotBillsTheyreMultiplying · 05/12/2017 08:08

Speech and Language here too. But it wouldn’t put me off.

ChocolateCrunch · 05/12/2017 08:09

Speech and Language Therapy to me! I think the initials are fine, nothing to worry about.

purplesquares · 05/12/2017 08:13

Phew! That's definitely reassuring to hear that you guys don't see it either. Wasn't sure if DH was just saying it because he couldn't hear any more discussions on baby names! 😂

Senior leadership team / speech and language therapist both sound like pretty good job prospects so don't mind either of those hehe!

Initials often used in my workplace. But I don’t think anyone except you would look at those letters and see “slut”.

Pannacott · 05/12/2017 08:37

Speech and language therapist here too.

HoratioNightboy · 05/12/2017 11:08

I read it as 'slit'. Is that worse?

Definitely senior leadership team

MagicFajita · 05/12/2017 13:00

Yep. Senior leadership teamSmile

Mrsknackered · 05/12/2017 13:26

Another one for Speech and Language.

It didn't occur to me my first thought was maybe you thought it was too similar to BLT, which is a ridiculous thought

BenLui · 05/12/2017 13:29

I don’t work in education but I see Senior Leadership Team too.

Mrscog · 05/12/2017 13:33

Yeah- Senior Leadership Team for me!

firawla · 05/12/2017 13:35

Speech and language therapist for me. Slut didn’t cross my mind

redexpat · 05/12/2017 13:35

Senior leadership team.

Smoliver · 05/12/2017 21:21

I read it as SALT Grin

SantaStuckInTheChimney · 05/12/2017 21:30

I also saw senior leadership team. I definitely didn't think slut.

stellarfox · 05/12/2017 23:09

The geographer in me saw silt

MummySparkle · 05/12/2017 23:12

Senior Leadership Team here too! (I just typed SLT instead of in full then because I'm so used to abbreviating it!)

Definitely don't see slut at all. I'd go for it. I know someone whose initials were RAT before she got married. We thought it was quite cool actually
