Initials

So the first and middle name we love for our future daughter will give her the initials D.I.S which is fine. Although I’m thinking ahead of the possibility of her marrying someone whose surname begins with a C or K leaving her with D.I.C or D.I.K 😅 Is it a big deal or have I overthought this?

I think you’re overthinking things a bit. She may or may not get married and if she does, she can choose which makes to take, or not Smile

Have you found the Baby Names section yet? That’s a useful place to discuss which makes you like Smile

@SleafordSods Thanks for your reply 🙂 You’re right.

I haven’t yet as I’ve just started using mumsnet but I’ll take a look!

I think you’re wildly overthinking.

Even if her initials did end up spelling DIC, how often are you aware of someone’s full initials including middle names anyway? I know someone whose initials are DC, I’ve no idea if his middle initial makes DIC.

I have anxiety so overthinking is the norm unfortunately! Thank you, I really love the name.

No problem. If you look in the Pregnamcy Section there is probably a thread running for MNers due the same month as you too Smile
