Baby initials

[AlphabetMummy]

So we have recently decided what to call the new baby. The name is irrelevant here, but it makes his initials F.O.R - which as our fourth child, we thought was perfect.. my mother has now said we cant call the baby that because everyone will just associate it with F.Off "/. I didnt even notice that and neither did hubby. Did anyone else immediately think that, and will it really be that much of an issue? "/
Thanks

Not at all you DM is being a bit ridiculous.

No one else will think that. You literally never use the initials of the first name and middle name without the surname. She'll be FOR or FR, never FO.

Your Mum must be quite the sweaty one to think that. I think it's fine. Congratulations on the baby x

Definitely not, as PP said it will be used with surname. Ours does start O so we won’t use F or a few others.

I don't understand where she's got f off from.. I don't know what you mean when you said you hadn't noticed it. There's nothing to notice!

Morado presumably what’s been said is along the lines of “Oh you can’t call him Felix Orlando [or whatever] as F.O. will make people think of F Off”.

Total non-issue, OP.

Thanks :D thats made me feel loads better! Xx

Lets say you are calling him Finley Oliver Richmond. Then his name is Master F.O. Richmond So fuck off Richmond.

So yeah, I can see where she is coming from. I'd have changed it.

That would never have occurred to me either. I'm worried as my son's initials are B.J. Poor child!

If you have any doubts OP just stick another name in before the second name eg to make it FJO
I cannot see a problem, however.

Yep BJ is up there with FO "/! Eek "/ im sure there are plenty of people with silly initials though... Hopefully lol

Why don't you just tell you MIL to FO?

Seriously, it's a non issue.

I think it's fine

I’m really fussy about this sort of thing & no I see no issue here whatsoever

I’d put in a second middle name.

My son is a BJ tbf it's his first and middle initial rather than firstname surname. I knew it when I did it, but the J was really important to me! No one has said anything to me about it. I'd think they were a bit chaldish if they did.

That’s completely fine

For what it’s worth my nephew’s initials are BJ. We only realised when he was about 4.

I've only just realised now and he's nearly 15!

Going against the grain but I would add a second middle name.

I’ve never even seen people use FO as slang for F* Off

It’s not like “wtf” or something which is used regularly

Boris Johnson’s initials are BJ too for what it’s worth

Your DM is being daft.
