So, here’s my dilemma: We have pretty much decided on naming our baby either [name_m]Bernard[/name_m] [name_m]Robert[/name_m] or [name_m]Robert[/name_m] [name_m]Bernard[/name_m]. I am only lukewarm about the name [name_m]Robert[/name_m], but like it fine as a middle name. BUT if we use it as a middle name, the baby’s initials will be BRA. What to do?! I guess one other option is to use 2 middle names, but I think that would pose problems on forms, etc. Thoughts and advice appreciated!
Personally I would either switch the first and middle or do two middles. Berries whose children have two middles say that it hasn’t posed any problems with forms as most forms just request middle initial.
Personally I’d use another middle name.
[name_f]My[/name_f] brother has two middle names his name is [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Leonardo[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] and he hasn’t within his 10 years of life had any problems with it. So I would use another middle name maybe family name?
Suggestions:-
[name_m]Bernard[/name_m] [name_m]Robert[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Bernard[/name_m] [name_m]Levi[/name_m] [name_m]Robert[/name_m]
[name_m]Bernard[/name_m] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_m]Robert[/name_m]
[name_m]Bernard[/name_m] [name_m]Cassius[/name_m] [name_m]Robert[/name_m]
[name_m]Bernard[/name_m] [name_m]Robert[/name_m] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Bernard[/name_m] [name_m]Robert[/name_m] [name_m]Gregory[/name_m]
: )
I don’t really see it as a problem. I can’t think of one time in my life where my slightly odd initials or my best friends “FAT” and “POT” initials have really caused a problem. I mean, I wouldn’t go buying him a LLB bean backpack spelling out the initials in brightly colored thread, but full initials really don’t come up as much as people think.
His monogram would actually be [name_u]BAR[/name_u], if that helps.
I don’t think it matters, honestly. I’ve never used my initials for anything other than my university log-in. If you’re the monogramming type, it’s just as easy to have [name_m]Bernard[/name_m] monogrammed as it is to use his initials.
One of mine has 2 middles and I plan to do it again. They just use the first middle initial for the middle initial box its no biggie
Eh, it could be much worse. Bras aren’t horrifically offensive.
Call her [name_m]Bernard[/name_m] if you prefer it to [name_m]Robert[/name_m] (I like them both but also prefer [name_m]Bernard[/name_m]).
