Initials BJ

I've read other threads recently about initials, but still really torn about this.

I'm going to have a little boy in the next few months. My three year old is called Callum. His name fit my criteria of being: easy to pronounce and spell; not so common that he'd be one of six in the same class, not so unusual that people would laugh at him, only nickname I could think of is Cal which I think is pretty cool. Plus I just love the sound of Callum. So I'm looking for something that fits the same criteria for this baby. We love Benjamin. Benji for a baby, Ben when he gets older. But my surname starts with J so his initials would be BJ. Does it matter?

Don't do it

Don't do it.

And a middle name initial will make no difference as it never gets used!

It's hard enough being a kid without having your moniker be an acronym for fellatio.
I just wouldn't do it, if I were you.
I'm sure your a good parent. But, you must be pretty naive to think you're not setting your son up to be mocked in the future for something which could easily have been prevented in the present.

Please don't do it. He won't forgive you for it.

And there's about a million other names out there that could fit your criteria.

I wouldn’t.
