Hello

We’ve fallen in love with the name Sophie Olivia but our Surname begins with a ‘D’.... is it too bad for her initials to spell SOD? It’s not something I would have ever noticed, but my OH did straight away... I also sort of like Isabella, but it also sounds funny with our surname... at least we are certain on a first name! Middle name is proving tricky 😬

Lovely names but don't think Id land her with SOD tbh. Another middle name would be ok to break it up. We have our full initials as identifiers at work and they become permanent references which people read out over telephones..so I'd not risk it.

I'd have some tiny bit of understanding if it was Serihilda Orbona, as every first born daughter of the family was. I'd still advise changing the order. Deliberately picking 2 extremely popular names (top 10 for most of the decade, top 3 for some of it) to make a SOD is weird.

Oh yes, I love the name Titty!

My kids have initials that spell little words and it has been commented on many times. They're kind of neutral words so we don't care. You could definitely swap to Olivia Sophie and still call her Sophie.

When I had DC1 my DF bought me How to be a Little Sod.

Sorry, know that doesn’t help your dilemma OP but it is an amusing little book if you get to read it Smile

No don’t do it. Pick a different middle name.
