Can we have a ‘check my baby initials’ thread?

[Ginevere]

A friend recently named her baby with the initials LSD, and is now very upset about the connotations after her BIL pointed it out. I don’t think I’d be fussed about LSD, but I would have noticed it, and the fact that she didn’t makes me wonder if there’s anything I’m missing for my daughter’s proposed name, and if anyone else wanted to put their initials up for mumsnet to check for them!

Mine are IAD, due in three weeks so time to change if needed but I can’t think of anything!

My daugher is ASS. I didn't see that coming until it was too late. She is 22 now. Poor girl, muma is sorry.

My oldest boy is HMS. Not as bad as his sisters I guess.

A girl at school had the initials SHT and was known as Shitty

A relative is BO you need to check with and without middle names 😂

My DH is HO but I don't think that matters for a boy/ man?

Names changed, but our nephew is Ben Edward Norris, so his initials spell his name which is quite cool.

It really, really doesn't matter.

I am NED and they called me Neddy at school (as in a donkey). I didn't mind at all, donkeys are lovely. They also called me shrimp bcause I was very small and I didn't mind that either (although I was made self-conscious by the teacher calling the other kids out on it and being denigratory to shrimps!).

It really can matter. It just depends if your child's school uses initials or work does, and what the abvreviation is.

I changed the names I loved for my daughter to avoid the initials RIP

My dad's a heavy drinker and his initials are AA

I work in schools and PRUs and it has literally never come up. Even amongst the silliest kids!

But others on this thread have showed you it did for them?

As I said depends if school/work uses intials (many wont and it wont be a problem) . At one of my jobs people were known by 3 letters and it would have been noticed. However others it would be first and last intiial so noone would know.

At school I went to it was initial surname. So it was considered more funny (but not nasty) when A.Bush was called out "anyone seen a bush?.""

So you can't always predict these things. I did make sure all our initals were "ok" though. As above ARSE or SHT would be unfortunate. Or BO...

Op cant see any problem with IAD!
I wouldnt use LSD myself... but certainly at primary noone should even know.

My DD’s is FAB which I hadn’t noticed till FIL pointed it out. Love it.

I used to have the initials SLA which I scratched into my plastic school maths set. Guess what letter some 'kind person' added...
