Initials

There’s a girl at my school named [name]Kathrine[/name] [name]Fern[/name] [name]C*****[/name]. her initials are KFC. she’s not exactly skinny either…i think this is really mean. Would you give your child a name that has initials like that or give them initials that spell a word?

Yep! My initials are ACT! :slight_smile:

[name]EDIT[/name]: I don’t know how [name]Kathrine[/name] feels about you posting on her name but maybe leave her full name out of it unless she’s given you permission.

DOUBLE EDIT: Thanks, lol. :slight_smile:

I could think of worse initials. KFC isn’t that bad [name]IMO[/name].

My nephew’s initials are SIR and they call him that sometimes. I think that is super sweet. I would personally avoid giving a daughter the initials AS or GA because she could marry a man with a last name starting with S. And that wouldn’t be exactly desirable…

I think it depends on what the word is. A girl I went to high school with has a daughter whose initials spelled [name]AIR[/name], which I think is cute, though I don’t believe it was done on purpose.

In naming my own kids, I would definitely take into consideration what the initials are together…I wouldn’t want to give her/him the initials FAT or or ZIT or something random.

I think it depends of the word that the initials spell, for example: [name]Amalia[/name] Siomone [name]Smith[/name] (ASS) is kinda rude, but [name]Saskia[/name] [name]Umber[/name] [name]Nixon[/name] ([name]SUN[/name]) is really cute!

I would try to avoid random words, but if I love a name that spell for example, BED or [name]CAT[/name], I wouldn’t worry too much!

I agree that there are some initials that I would avoid, but some I think are really cute. My last name starts with an “R”, so I’ve considered using the initials LEER (which is the Spanish word for “to read”–which would sort of pass down my love for two things–reading and languages. I would hope my daughter would appreciate that instead of what it would sound like in English!), or [name]BEAR[/name] for a boy (so he could be my [name]Little[/name] [name]Bear[/name]! I think that’s just the cutest). I think it would be sweet to do the initals [name]LUV[/name] or [name]LOVE[/name] if your last name started with a V or E…

I think initials that happen to spell something are sweet, unless they they spell something like F.A.T or S.T.D or something.

If the word was positive or neutral.
If I marry my boyfriend, our kids will have P as their last initial.

Some names on my list are:
[name]Victoria[/name] [name]Isabelle[/name]/[name]Vittoria[/name] [name]Isabel[/name]
[name]Liam[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]
[name]Caterina[/name] [name]Odette[/name]

So VIP, LAP, and COP. VIP was on purpose, but LAP just fell together. COP may not be the best, but it’s not a bad one either.

Oohh, good point.
I loved the combos of [name]Alexia[/name] [name]Serenity[/name] and [name]Alessandra[/name] [name]Serenity[/name]…
Maybe I’ll have to tack on a second middle to be safer.

My friend [name]Gabby[/name]'s initials are GAS, and she’s never been teased about it…

My brother and I were JAP growing up. No one noticed. Now that I’m married, I’m [name]JAM[/name] (My husband is [name]SAM[/name]). Sometimes I call him [name]Sam[/name], but because our middle names aren’t common knowledge, no one else does. I don’t think it really matters.

I’ve thought about it for our baby due end of [name]September[/name], but there are so many things to be careful of and try to avoid… it’s a good idea to think of how others will react to a name (or initials) to try to minimize the amount of ridicule they might receive growing up, but in the end, you can’t think about absolutely everything -and there could always be some random thing that comes up in the future that you had no way of predicting… like maybe you gave your child a name with the initials D.O.R.A. and then a couple years later, [name]Dora[/name] The [name]Explorer[/name] becomes a popular TV show.

So, I guess my point is that it’s a great idea to avoid obvious terrible initial combos (like the aforementioned A.S.S.) but… if kids want to tease another kid, they will find something. If not initials, then something else. I think it’s more important to give your child a name that has significant meaning for you, so that your child can be proud of their name and know that it was chosen with much thought and love. :slight_smile:

I don’t know if all parents think about names as much as (maybe us) Lol but I will for sure pay attention. Some aren’t too bad mine are RR (Railroad I’ve gotten a couple time) Haha… I also do Not have a middle name so it is just RR.

Mine always spelled SAT, and I always liked that they spelled something. Its not a big deal to me unless they spell something bad or stand for something unappealing.
