So…we almost have the perfect baby girl name. There’s just one problem: if we use it, her initials will be A.I.R.
Can we still use the name or would we be doing her a huge disservice since the initials spell a word? I don’t want her to spend her life being mocked as an “airhead!”
Sometimes initials can be a dealbreaker but, in this case, I think she will be fine. I wouldn’t mind if my initials spelled [name_f]AIR[/name_f]. It’s actually cool because I think of birds soaring threw the air. Airhead never crossed my mind.
[name_m]Just[/name_m] make sure they don’t spell anything unfortunate
Initials aren’t at all important for me when it comes to names. There’s nothing wrong with A.I.R and I don’t think it’s something people would notice often anyways. Airhead would be such a stretch too, I don’t think anyone would even think of that. I’ve also heard some say it could be good luck to have the initials spell something out.
Unless it is a rude word, then initials don’t matter at all. Unless you are the type to get monogramming on bibs etc., don’t worry.
As long as the initials don’t spell out something bad, you’re fine. Also, having the word “air” for initials is cool! I wish my initials spelled something.
I agree with others, I wouldn’t worry about initials spelling [name_f]AIR[/name_f] since air isn’t a bad or negative word. I think “airhead” would be a big leap for people to make. Also, I’d be more concerned with how the initials look in the traditional monogram style (first, last, middle). I assume the R is for the last name here so the monogram would be aRi which is completely fine and looks nice.
[name_f]AIR[/name_f] is a cool monogram! Initials do matter but only if it spells something vulgar or unambiguously negative.
I agree that having the initials [name_f]AIR[/name_f] doesn’t feel like a deal-breaker. Partly this is because [name_f]AIR[/name_f] isn’t offensive in any way, partly it’s because I think getting to “airhead” from it is a bit of a stretch, and partly it’s because although I have no problem at all with my middle initial and my three initials together don’t spell anything, I frequently just use my first and last initial anyway, which your daughter could easily do too if she didn’t like the [name_f]AIR[/name_f] initials.
I don’t think it really matters that much unless they are spell out a rude word. My initials are C.A.B and no one really seem to notice it unless I am the one to mention them.
[name_f]AIR[/name_f] should be fine.
As long as it’s not embarrassing or rude, don’t worry about it. I think air is nice.
I think [name_f]AIR[/name_f] is lovely. I’m all about science though.
As long as it’s not anything with unfortunate meaning, it doesn’t matter. [name_f]AIR[/name_f] would be perfectly fine, imo.
I don’t think [name_f]AIR[/name_f] is bad. It’s actually pretty cool in my opinion. But initials don’t matter. I have no middle, and thus my initial is B.H. No one has ever teased me about it, so yeah, not important in my opinion.
Thanks, everyone!!! 
Some initials can be rough but I think [name_f]AIR[/name_f] is fine. I know someone who’s initials are PMS which is much worse!
As an engineer, I initial all my documents. I use my initials multiple times a day. That being said, [name_f]AIR[/name_f] is fine. If it’s not a bad word, you’re in the clear.
I honestly don’t think these initials are really that bad.
