Comments/Suggestions about first/middle name

We’re considering naming our 2nd daughter:

[name]Eliza[/name] [name]Lucy[/name] K. or
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Eliza[/name] K.

We perfer the first one as we’ve been somewhat set with [name]Eliza[/name] for a while now. But the initials spell out “ELK”. Is that bad if your initials spell out a word? is the kid going to get ridiculed for that growing up? Any other suggestions or comments, or possibly other middle names that may work with [name]Eliza[/name]???
Our first daughter’s name is [name]Audrey[/name] [name]Joy[/name] K. (AJK).

Thanks for your help!

I seriously doubt your daughter will get teased about her initials spelling out the word ‘elk’. I mean, the kids at the initial-teasing age most likely won’t even know what elks are. I really think initials are only a problem if they’re like PIG or ASS or POO. And elks are pretty inoffensive, as animals go.

As far as the names: [name]Lucy[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name] are both very nice, and are lovely with [name]Audrey[/name]. Go with the one you love best ([name]Eliza[/name], it seems like) or decide when you meet her! :slight_smile:

I think I like [name]Eliza[/name] better as a first name too. As PP suggested, go with the one you like the best. ELK as initials is not terrible at all. I don’t think it opens your daughter up to being teased. I agree with irisrose that parents should be careful not to allow initials to spell something obscene, offensive, distasteful etc. I do have a friend whose initials were PMS (she’s since married, so no more ‘S’). [name]Even[/name] those initials didn’t case too much teasing as she grew up. From my experience, children don’t often know their friends’ middle name(s).

what do people think of picking a middle name that is your second choice, my only concern is that [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Lucy[/name] seem like two first names that may not go well together? Any other suggestions on a middle name that goes with [name]Eliza[/name], again our first daughter’s middle name is [name]Joy[/name], but we can’t find another ‘virtue’ name that we like, so am willing to just try something that goes with “[name]ELIZA[/name]”. Thanks for your help!
