Initials - am I overthinking it?

If we were to go with our favourite boy names their initials would be JAW. It’s niggling a little bit but am I overthinking?

I do use my full 3 initials in work contexts so don’t want to lumber a child with something bad!

My DH's initials are NCB. We couldn't get him any engraved gifts as they looked like they'd been pinched from the National Coal Board. We are of a certain age and from Yorkshire.

My advice would be as long as it doesn't spell something that might result in your DC being ridiculed - ASS, GIT, NOB, DIC/K, STD, CUM, HO etc - then it's fine.

I would also consider, based on my DH's experience, whether the initials relate to a company. For example - AOL, SKY, CNN, BBC, MSN etc, etc.

Not so bad. I came accross a kevin o'Connor a while ago. His mum was an innocent. Kevin o'connor married to a ROD which made me die. ROD and KOC and it was engraved in their rings.

Thanks everyone. I guess it would be unfortunate if they ended up with an overly large jaw with these initials but hopefully won’t be much of an issue!

Initials really don’t matter.
