I have my heart set on the middle name [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] and our first name choice is [name_f]Lila[/name_f]. [name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] gives the initials LSD. [name_m]How[/name_m] bad is that?? Is it a deal breaker? If yes, then what are some name suggestions to go with [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] for a double middle name? I’m due in less than a week, and this is driving me crazy! Thanks!
They would for me, since the initials stand for something as LSD and when monogrammed as LDS. However, initials aren’t a big deal to everyone and I would only add a second middle if it truly bothers you. One option is if the baby isn’t getting your surname/maiden or your spouse’s surname/maiden you can put it there.
[name_f]Dawn[/name_f]

[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
That… isn’t ideal. Not everyone may notice, but personally I prefer to add a second mn. [name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] is very pretty, btw.

I also second the idea of adding maiden name as a second mn… or maybe there’s a family name you’d like to use?
I’ve commented on these initials before. They’re not the worst but aren’t ideal either. As a high schooler, I don’t think teasing would be a huge deal. I think it would more be like “Your initials are LSD? That’s awesome!” More so for a boy than a girl, but I don’t think girls would have more trouble. [name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] is stunning!
I’m torn on this one. Personally, I would drop [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] and find another cool middle.
I think it’s fine, honestly. [name_m]Even[/name_m] being a name nerd, I never really pay attention to initials. I don’t think anyone else will care, or even notice.
I think 99% of people would NOT notice…I don’t think it’s an issue. Unless you are going to monogram everything with all 3 initials, it’s not going to be noticed. Plus it’s such a beautiful name!
It would be a deal breaker for me. I don’t think you just dismiss how often initials are used, especially once entering the workforce. I wouldn’t be concerned about teasing, just the initials standing for a drug. I wouldn’t want my daughter to have that association.
I’m a person who notices things like that and while I don’t think it’s necessarily a deal-breaker I’d recommend adding a second middle name if there’s one you like.
Is it a hallucinogenic drug? I’ve never heard of it lol. I don’t think it matters that much, tbh. Like PP said, if it bothers you that much, add a second middle. My favorite is [name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] or [name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f].

Personally, I don’t think it’s a big deal. I rarely ever use my middle name anyways, and I don’t know many people who write their full initials either. If it is THE name, don’t let something as insignificant as that dissuade you. Besides, if the initials were something like A.S.S. or T.I.T. then it may be a problem, but L.S.D. is nothing to worry about. Good luck!
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] is lovely! I wouldn’t worry about it at all. Most people wouldn’t know her middle name anyways, or remember it if told- I could probably count on my fingers how many people would remember mine without prompting, and I openly tell people if it comes up. [name_m]Even[/name_m] knowing people’s full names, most would have to think about it to figure out her initials. If you want to monogram something (or she does), you can always use just the first and last initials, or just put her first name on it. IME most people would do one of those anyways, using all three initials is less common.
I think it’s also totally fine. Besides the combination of [name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] is just too pretty to break up.
I honestly don’t know if its where I’m from or something but initials don’t mean anything to anyone that I know of, so I never understood why people would not use a name they love because of what the initials stand for. I have never used all three of my initials on anything before. Initials also never came up in conversations or anything when growing up, so I don’t think initials are grounds for teasing either. I think its perfectly fine!!!
Name teasing rarely happens and when it does it in often in elementary school, when kids are too young to be aware of specific names of hallucinogens.
