Do we need a second middle name?

So, the name and middle name we have chosen for our little girl have the initials F and A, in that order. Unfortunately our surname begins with G.

Is it a total faux par for her initials to be FAG?

If so can you help with second middle name suggestions? Not a fan of flower names but open to anything else!

Her name will be Felicity Alice [?name] G[3 syllables]

I have:
Olivia
Kate
Marie

Thanks!

Yes you need another middle name you can’t call your kid FAG.

All your options are lovely though.

No you dont need a middle name

I would, kids are mean and adults will think it too.
I know someone with the initials BO and she was tortured at school, not helped by the fact she did in fact smell. As an adult as well.
Or could you swap the names round? Or alternatively just not use Alice? X

Just make sure the second middle name doesn't begin with N... 🧛‍♂️

I vote Lydia, before Alice 😂

sawyersfishbiscuits · 28/03/2020 17:11

Felicity Rose Olivia G???

No, all your names are lovely. I might move the Alice to the second middle name, maybe.

I got 2 middle names, it's a PIA.
Try and drop the 2nd one for years, pretend it doesn't exist.
It's just a complete faff writing them all out

SunshineCake · 28/03/2020 17:13

You can't name your child so that her initials are FAG!

Ginfilledcats · 28/03/2020 17:26

I agree re the FAG thing. Seems so cruel when there are so many lovely names. And you're right, kids are cruel!!!

We're in love with Felicity and Alice is a very sentimental name so would love to keep both in that order.
Just need to add another...
