Can I ask whether you'd think the initials JEW would be an issue?

I love the name Joshua too and was thinking of having Elliot as a middle name, my surname also begins with a W, so that would make him JEW...

Would this be an issue or am I over thinking things??

JAW is fine as long as you don't have the surname Breaker (or anything else along those lines...).

I used to work in an office where one of the clients was a Mr Fish. His initials were RAW and his wife was C.

We are reffered to by our initials in meeting notes etc at work all the time. I used to work with a JAW, never seemed a problem, but he was about 60!

My sister was going to be a SOD until my parents spotted it.

It could be a problem for teachers, as forms are sometimes known by initials. My friend worked in a primary school where they labelled books with initials and the subject. She was SH and had problems with IT lessons.
