What initials shouldn't be used?

[CuppaTeaJanice]

There's plenty of initials that are generally thought of as a no-no - CUM, COK, KKK, FUK, TIT etc., etc.....

...but what about the following.....

Toilet-themed, eg. BOG, LAV, WC etc?

Political, eg. BNP?

Animals, eg. PIG, COW, HOG etc?

Other body parts, eg. BUM?

Would any of the above initials put you off choosing a name that you love for your DC? And what other initials would you avoid?

My Dad was DAD. We thought that was cool. There was a tradition of the A as a middle name but that would have made him MAD so they wisely gave it a miss.

My Dad was DAD. We thought that was cool. There was a tradition of the A as a middle name but that would have made my brother MAD - sorry not making sense today

We gave dd2 an extra middle name to avoid her initials being ZIT so she's now ZIMT.

I knew someone whos initials before marriage were JCB!!!

I sat next to someone at a wedding a while ago who was a T. Towel.

My first initials are VA. I always knew I would not be marrying anyone with last initial 'G' (or even 'J'!)

I know a couple of DR's, my ex was the son of a DR and he was MD. Apparently it was a coincidence...

Heymammy
ZIMT is cinnimon in German Reminds me of Christmas cookies Zimtsterne, sweet and delicious.

DS is CAN but it did not bother us. My Dad did call him "my wee tin can" until I gave him the evil eye.

My uncle is ASS.

My mum wanted to give me the middle name Ann,after her friend, but my dad didn't want any of us to have middle names, as he was so fed up with his 3 long names.
If I had been given the name, I would have been JAM - and when I married, would have become JAR

Hedgewitch - My DH is a Mr MR Surname as well, did ask MIL once if she did it on purpose, but then she pointed out she was Mrs MRS Surname - I'd never noticed !!!

since married my initials are my first name

Ooh MmeLindt that's nice to know

Oh and dp is a MR DR Surname. He is overly very fond of this oddity

A girl I used to work with had her and her husband's initials engraved on to their wedding rings. When she went into pick them up they were sniggering quietly and after some probing, admitted that they'd all (in the jewellers) had a fit of the giggles over their initials. K o'C & SAC

Not that funny, but there you go. She said that she felt a bit smutty about it from then on too, and it had never struck her before.

My Brother in law is M Greedy, they were going to give him the middle name Robert but decided against it, although his brother is IM Greedy.

My cousins have the initial RAG and TWIG.

DD1 is EMC which I think makes her sound rather clever (if you add an = and a squared)

Dh works for a big American company were all job titles are referred to in initials (CEO etc). There was one chap called Simon Platz whose job was Business Unit Manager and he was listed in minutes as BUM SPlatz. Oh how we laughed.

wen preggers with ds, dp and I tried to think of a middle name as we already had picked out his first name - we were going for JAM, but couldnt decide on a name we liked, he ended up being JCM - not as excitin

if id hav given him my surname instead of his dads, he would hav been JCB!!

Just realised our baby name has middle name and surname of JCB

My dd1's initials are HMPF - Her majesty's prison F(our surname)
Although, I think it is more High Maintainance Pickle F*

When my cousin got married she became GBH!

We were going to call our eldest Bethany until we realised her initials would be B.O. (the O is quite a difficult surname initial to work with). I had visions of a teacher at school holding up a painting of hers and going "B.O? B.O? Who is B.O.?"

So she's now HO instead (ho ho Ho!) My youngest is LO and hubby and I are SO and SO.

I should have kept my original surname

I went to school with a girl whose initials were SLAG. Apparently it was pointed out by the registrar at the time but they obviously weren't that bothered!
