Can I get away with DAMM initials?

[crimblecrumbles]

DH and I have finally agreed on name for DD2 but realised initials will be DAMM! Is that really awful?

It's not ideal! Can you switch the middle names?

I think that would be fine.

Yes it's fabulous

Not great, I would change middle names(s)

I wouldn’t do that. Could you switch the middle names around? Or if it’s a double barrelled surname can you add a surname?

I wouldn't do it either.

I wouldnt do that.
Can you switch things to DMAM?

I wouldn’t. Switch the names.

Is the first name Damien? I wouldn't do it, I think it's an "omen"

The M's are surnames so can't change. I don't think I would mind DAMM personally as an adult now, but I don't know how a child would feel. And what will the judgemental relatives and friends think!!

I really don’t think it’s a big deal.

Depends. Is the M part of a double-barelled surname or a second middle name?

No - rearrange names

My son has unfortunate initials but we’ve never had cause to write them out in full. It really doesn’t matter. Plus DAMM is not that bad.

I’ve never had to use initials in my life

It doesn't matter in the slightest. Go for it!

Delilah Annabel Morgan-Matheson, could initial as DAM rather than DAMM, but that’s not great either. Honestly I’d change it. I wouldn’t want those to be my initials.

I'd change the A name to a consonant name. Kids can be nasty to one another - why set your child up to be teased ?

Oh, cross post. As long as the A is a middle name, I think you'll get away with it.

Does anyone look at someone's initials?

If in the long-distant future your DD has to initial pages on a work document, for example, she would just put DM.

Maybe I'm missing something.

Are you really religious? If wouldnt bother me at all. I doubt anyone will either pick up on it.

It’s not often anyone looks at full name initials and I don’t think this one is that bad. I wouldn’t change it. I would if it was ASS or TIT

Just Chuck in a third forename - problem solved

I think it's fine - if it were DAMN might be different. Even then, who pays attention to initials anyway?

I had a teacher called Peter Ian Gregory once. He told us all this so we could chuckle that his initials were PIG.

I can't remember the last time I used my middle initial. Probably 25 years ago in secondary school where I put mine and the boys I fancied in a heart.

It's fine. Could be worse. I know a T.Watts.
