Initials A.S.S...

[newbiema]

We're finalizing a name for newborn DS.
Love Bertie, but Albert is the only viable long form name we can agree on.
However, our surname is double barreled, both beginning with S.
So his initials would be ASS.
Is this as awful as I suspect or am I overthinking it?!

I wouldn’t, sorry!

I’m usually fairly laid back about stuff like that, but I wouldn’t do it…

Don't take any chances, don't do it.

Don't do it. My initials spell a relatively benign word but it gets a bit annoying over the years. Can't imagine having the initials Ass!

Sorry but I wouldn't

I wouldn't either. I'd either try another name with Bert in it or just go with Bert/Bertie.

Just add one or two middle names in there!

Just no

Just no, time for a rethink, at least you realised .
Although tbf middle names aren't always used in initials but I had to use mine in school as there were two of us with same initials.
Our DD has double barrelled surname but some clubs/ school abbreviated it to just her first name and the last name of her surname making her initials IT- she was traumatised!!

Robert, maybe?
I wouldn't choose Albert with an SS surname.

Glad you realised in time. Remember childhood? It can be vicious

Don't

Don't do it!

Definitely not.

I just think of automatic work email addresses

These were my initials until I got married!!! No one ever noticed as I never really liked or spoke of my middle name. I hate my middle name. I can't say it was ever as issues but quite funny to tell people. I miss these initials 😂

No way!

Nope, would you like your initials to be ASS? I didn’t name my daughter a certain middle name as it spelt a body part and not even anything as bad a ASS!

Of course it’s awful.

It’s not a middle name, it’s a first name plus couple barrel surname.

It’s not ok.

I used to work somewhere where you had to initial all your working papers, with three initials if you had them because otherwise there were too many duplicates to distinguish each person. Just don’t!

Even Osbert would be better than ASS initials.

Another one who's generally pretty laid back about these things but oh my goodness, please don't do it! Is Robert a possibility?

There are loads of Bert names - Robert, Cuthbert, Hubert. I am not sure why you would want call your boy ass…

Yeah I'd have another look to find a Bert name you both like that doesn't start with A. Bertrand ? Bertram ? Wilbert ? (I actually like Bertram quite a lot !)
