Initials that don't spell things!

My sis is due a girl in 6 wks and can't decide on a name. Surname begins with G so when she came up with;
Emma Gwyneth G. it spelled EGG
Ella Charlotte G. - ECG
Are there any other silly spellings that might come up? They like classic 'normal' names. Any suggestions?
TIA

My intitals pre marriage were CCC.

Since being married they are CCJ

I like that you are thinking about this!!

FAG DAG BIG BUG etc etc.

At least you are on the ball though

You always have to be careful if you choose a middle name begining with a vowel especially for girls who may change their surname.

DD2 has ARCD which if read out is arsed doesn't bother my on bit though as how often do you use your initials?

J works well as a middle initial generally - Emma Julia, Ella Jane?
Might be an idea to avoid EGG, but don't think ECG would be overly noticeable - don't think the kids at nursery are going to call her electrocardiogram as a nickname!

I was about to say that, Sabrina - DH, DD and I all have middle names starting with J.

I loved my maiden name initials - they spelt a plant which I used as a nn. Then I got married...Didn't work so well so I retained my maiden name and double barrelled.

Names beginning with K, P, W, T would be safe. Or she could make a nickname- MEG springs to mine.
