Would this be incredibly cheesy? I'm thinking it would.

[Disenchanted3]

We have 3 children, we named them completely oblivious to this, but they now the first letter of their names (ikn age order too) spells the first 3 letters of my husbands name.

I only noticed when I told DH that if I ever had another daughter I wanted to call her 'xxx'

I was sat doodling and wrote their names out with the last one too and saw it speeled DHs name (are you following? )

I really love the fourth name but now am thinking I need to avoid that first letter at all cost as its very cheesy to have DHs name spelled out of the kids!

But I didn't notice for 5 years so I don't think anyone else will.

Dh like the idea

I think it's fine

Do you mean like your Dh is called Adam and your kids are in age order called Anna, diane and Alana and your fave next name is Miriam? If so I really dont think it matters!

Thats exactly right Waiting (my DH is Adam!)

Just don't set a trend, will you (my DH has an 11-letter name... ouch)

I doubt if anyone would notice. Also, you could sign your christmas cards in a delightful crossword style.

How weird that his name is Adam!

I dont think it is cheesy at all. In fact it's actually quite sweet

you're psychic!

But i just checked your profile and you have 2 boys and a girl so I doubt they are called Anna, Diane and Alana so not that psychic!!

Lol, suppose not

My partner and I were going to name DD2 Mirren which with all our initials would have spelt G.L.A.M, I thought this was cute, not cheesy. We decided against Mirren but tried D names. Again nothing we were overly fond of.

So I say go for it, it's really cute and if DH likes it then it's a nice tribute.

I don't think anyone would notice, but if you'd rather avoid it then why not use the name you like as a middle name?

Do it!

It's ridiculous but I think you need to have a prize for the first real-life person to notice.

Unfortunately we didn't notice with ours until too late.
Our 3 boys have the initials B. A and D in that order and so unfortunately are sometimes known as the BAD boys....

Lo @bad boys.

DS1s initials are

ARS

I love it!

My mum's name begins with C. My brothers and I are A, B and D! It wasn't intentional (and the order is actually A, D, B), but we sort of spell out A, B, C and D.

Oh, and I married a 'C', and my mum considers him her son, so she now does have an alphabet set of children. My brothers are both single right now, we need new girlfriends for them whose names begin with E and F.

I think it's a nice idea

No one will notice. It's sweet

Go for it!

It's fine and sweet

I think its a lovely idea, something really personal to your family, I would go for it, but like someone said, it could be my hormones, I think Simon Cowell is sweet at the mo

Lol Alfie, that is messed up

At my school there were 3 sisters, all very naughty
called Helena, Lettice and Lucy, known by the staff as Hell Let Loose
