Call you dc a name starting with O if your surname starts with a D??

DH and I have finally agreed on a first name, but are concerned that OD might be the beginning of the teasing at school 'the odd child?'

Or are we over analysising this waaaay tooo much?

over analysing

I don't really see a problem with those initials myself.

Overanalysing

Will you use a middle name? Even if not, or the school only uses 2 initials, I still don't think it would be a problem.

Bellie · 09/01/2009 20:28

middle name would be J - so OJD.

you're thinking way too much

We've got an OJ!!

Not that bad,, but also od = over dose

noonki · 09/01/2009 20:37

We didn't do an O name as we would have had an OD.

and as DH is a paramedic and I work with drug users we use it all the time as an expression!

so no I dont think you are over analysing!

tis fine absolutely fine

Hayao · 09/01/2009 20:38

I prob wouldn't, but am obsessive over initials.

BikeRunSki · 09/01/2009 20:58

Unless you have a similar situation to Nooki, then you are over analysing!
