Siblings initials - am I overthinking this?

I am currently pregnant with baby 3. My older children are called Nancy and Annie and I am considering the name Grace for this baby.
If you put the first letter of each name together it spells NAG. Would this put you off or am I thinking way too much into this?? x

No one but you will ever even work it out. Definitely overthinking!

Girlintheframe · 01/02/2022 15:25

Definitely overthinking it!! Don't worry!
Lovely names x

You’re massively overthinking. Lovely names, congratulations

CatherinedeBourgh · 01/02/2022 15:26

Way overthinking.

I mean if it spelt fuck maybe, but nag? Who uses their kids’ initials that way anyway?

Theworldisfullofgs · 01/02/2022 15:26

Yes

itwasntaparty · 01/02/2022 15:27

Overthinking!

KittensTeaAndCake · 01/02/2022 15:28

Ha, who ever puts their kids’ initials together? Way overthinking OP, it’s fine.

Youngstreet · 01/02/2022 15:29

I agree you're overthinking.
I think its just the individuals initials that are important. So you wouldn't want Grace Olive with a surname beginning with B for example.

Meandthesky · 01/02/2022 15:37

You’re overthinking it! But if it bothers you just say then in reverse order or something

We rethought our son’s name as he would have been a comb!

Ya I think you are way over thinking this!

Only time it might come up is if their own DC cope is and called their mum + 2 aunts the NAGs Grin Wink I'm joking, that is really really unlikely!!

StopForAMinute · 01/02/2022 15:47

You are over thinking it. Beautiful names!

SausageRoll2020 · 01/02/2022 15:49

You're definitely overthinking!
I don't think I've ever thought about what mine and my siblings initials would spell and I doubt anyone would.

CaveMum · 01/02/2022 15:51

Definitely overthinking! One of my DC has the initials WC Grin

Isntisironic1 · 01/02/2022 15:53

Yes I wish I’d thought mine out better, my kids put together spells ASS 🙈🤦‍♀️😩

EmmaGrundyForPM · 01/02/2022 15:56

you are definitely overthinking! Have you ever worked out what any other set of siblings initials spell? No. So why should anyone else ever think about your children?

Soakitup37 · 01/02/2022 15:59

Spooky that this came up I was JUST thinking the same thing about my first name my son and the front runner to my my 18 week womb baby together! Ours would be GOT it TOG.

No idea why I thought it but I just as quickly realised how irrelevant it would be!

memememe · 01/02/2022 16:03

I've got a necklace with my kids initials on so that's pretty much the only time you would notice it. Mine read M A D btw. I think it's cool.

PumpkinCrumble · 01/02/2022 16:03

I mean the only scenario I can imagine it being relevant, based on personal life experience, is that you might have stockings with initials hung up at Christmas? But NAG isn’t horribly offensive enough to not go with a name..-and then you could just mix up the initials?

SpaghettiArmsMurderer · 01/02/2022 16:27

Definitely overthinking

Lemonweightloss · 01/02/2022 16:53

Definitely overthinking.

RedCandyApple · 02/02/2022 00:05

Someone pointed out to me that my kids names spell STD I really wish I had known that before naming them 🤦🏻

Imonaspendingban · 02/02/2022 00:11

My mother lost 3 babies before she had me-ones initials would have been BRA
I have 6 kids and the last 3 spell out BAM
I only noticed when I went to use them as a password for an old sm account
I wouldn’t give it a second thought
