I am brand new to nameberry and I am having a hard time with reading some blogs. They have lingo like DH, which I have been able to determine it has something to with the husband? But what does TCC mean DD2? Im so confused! There are other ones I cant think of that are commonly used. Is there a special page that has this info on it?
Thanks so much to whoever helps me figure this out!
DH/DW/DS/DD ā Dear husband/wife/son/daughter
TTC ā trying to conceive
[name]IMO[/name] ā In my opinion
IMHO ā in my honest opinion
NMS ā not my style
FWIW ā For what itās worth
Babycenter has a pretty comprehensive list of acronyms that pop up on there, obviously some of these rarely if ever show up on nameberry (or only occasionally over on the momberry boards) but I found it really helpful when I was trying to figure out DPO (days past ovulation), POAS (pee on a stick, of course), BFP (big fat positive) etcā¦
Oh! And [name]TIA[/name]ā¦for the longest time I didnāt get āThanks in Advanceā and thought people were signing their name at the end of their post and we just happened to have more than one [name]Tia[/name] on here!
The first time I came across DH (on a different site), I didnāt get it either. I think I looked it up on urbandictionary, as I do with just about any slang I come across these days. By the time I got on here, knowing DH, it wasnāt hard to figure out DD and DS. TTC I think I figured out from context clues, but [name]IMO[/name] and NMS were a little tougher.
[name]Welcome[/name] and I hope your experience is a little easier with some of the most-used abbreviations covered. I wouldnāt have had the good sense to ask.
Most are used in other forums, but something like TTC Iād of course never come across before getting on here because I had no reason to be on any mommy forums until recently. DH etc. I had seen elsewhere though.

I always find this funny because to me it will always mean āThis Is [name]Africa[/name]ā.
