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?

Damm is the biggest beer company in Spain (Estrella Damm) although still don't think it's an issue. Giving her so many names is a bit unfair though! It's just a nightmare for paperwork

So long as you don't live in a German-speaking country where Damm means perineum!

It's fine.

OMG no way 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 I'm actually a Swiss duel national from a Swiss-German speaking canton (obviously don't speak it myself!).

My initials are DAM it has never once caused any problems and I never think of it to be honest.

Yes I think it's fine.

Damn isn't super commonly used here at least IME.

Also it's more like dam aka water thing.

Is this a joke ?

No one cares about initials

If you care you have too much time on your hands

I really don't think any one pays attention to initials. I'd leave it

Just realised the name we've picked for our child if he's a boy begins with an F and our surname is S so FS. My married initials are now BS. I honestly don't care

What an odd question Of course it's not a joke, and as you can see from reading the thread, some people would care about this. Bizarre post.

We use initials for lots of stuff in my last 3 workplaces. Notes from meetings, file names, and more. That can't be uncommon.

DAMM is easy to remember. A bonus!

Just read back seen similar comment to above plus other situations.

With double barrel surname then o suspect DMM would be used. Makes for sense than 4 letters. Middle name is used normally in case 2 have same initials surely.

In fact correct work 2 with same initials and we usually have 2 initials for shorthand not 3. One is eg GY and the other GMY.

Really not going to be an issue.

Can't really see it being an issue. Kids might cop it at some point, maybe giggle, then move on. It wouldn't put me off choosing the names

Is there an English word DAMM? Even if the initials were DAMN it wouldn't be an issue, but DAMM?

As for those mentioning religion - what's that about?

Speaking of people with too much time on their hands ......🤦🏾‍♀️
