Would you use names that gave the initials KJB?

Hi!

Settled for a boy's name, and set on a first name for a girl. First initial will definitely be K, and surname starts with B. I like Julia more than any other middle name I can think of, but I'm worried that KJB sounds too much like KGB, which obviously isn't an association I'd like for my baby!

Opinions please!

It's been a while since the Cold War, I think it's fine for a new baby.

i only looked at this as i had no idea what k.j.b. stood for, thought it might be an american serial killer.

All it makes me think of is King James Bible - likely to make folk of faith smile (in a good way) and won't mean anything to anybody else.

I wouldn't go for KGB, but KJB is fine. My own initials are the name of a terrorist organisation, and I can say from experience it does cause issues sometimes! Memorably my Year 3 teacher asked us all to write our initials on the back of a piece of artwork, and then HIT THE ROOF when she saw that one child had branded theirs with the name of a terrorist organisation. I didn't even understand why I was in trouble 🙈
