we FINALLY found a name we love,*THEN realised that the initials of first, middle and surname, spell out her big brothers name!!!
At first, my fiancé and I thought “nooo! we can’t use it now!!” and we were so disapointed… But we love the name do much, that we’ve recently been trying to think of a way round it, like, we considered adding another middle name, but it’s just so lovely the way it is! What does everyone think of this predicament, could we “get away with it” !!! or should we scrap the name altogether?
When I googled it, I found all sorts of people that have gone through teasing because of their initials, (like ASS or BRA etc etc) …I know her big brothers name isn’t like that!!! BUT…
…these people had given examples of things like when they were at school and had to have initialson their backpacks as part of their school uniform, or being at university where their initialsbecame your email address, for example ass123@yahoo.co.uk*…Just finding examples like this online made me worry about it more, do you think having initials that spell out big brothers name would be difficult for her?
Orr, even when you’re an adult, and filling in forms that say “initial here” …initialson the lease for renting an apartment, initialswhen signing up for a bank account etc. I suppose she could just miss out the middle initial with things like that, but I personally have come to find, that some things require all initials… hmm.
Thinking back to childhood again though, would it lead to teasing? Would big brother cheekily say “haha you were named after me!” (he’s a lovely boy, but c’mon I think everyone knows what big brothers can be like lol!) Would it be noticed at school?!
The other small part, is possibly down to me overthinking things, (which I have a tendency to do!) and my fiancé says I’m worrying too much about this part: but as the middle name would be [name]Echo[/name], would she feel like an after thought? Echoing her big brother, especially with her initials spelling his name? I’m not sure if that’s a silly thought 
So what does everyone think, is this initial thing a “no go” for us?! After finally finding a name we love? Are we over thinking this, or not? …This is so hard!
