No, it shouldn’t. [name]River[/name] [name]Alise[/name] is beautiful, I wouldn’t let that deter me.
I suppose that I didn’t really need to include my bra size:)
It would concern me immensely, sorry. I, too, am large-breasted (way more than you, bahaha), and while I don’t mind making the occasional breast joke self-deprecatingly, I absolutely hate when others make them toward me. For the most part, I’m very self-conscious about my boobs and I don’t even let my family make jokes about them in private, much less public. If I had the initials RAC I would be positively mortified, sorry. Of course all women react differently, but if I had to go through puberty with the RAC jokes, even if I didn’t get my mom’s big boobs, I would think it would be awful. What about [name]River[/name] [name]Elise[/name] [name]Chevalier[/name]? It gets rid of the RAC initials, but is essentially the same name (unless [name]Alise[/name] is more [name]Alice[/name] than [name]Elise[/name]?).
Good luck!
lol, i do see your point [name]Ash[/name]. It’s just in my experience other people hardly ever put initials together like that. I have a friend whose initials spell [name]HAM[/name], and she had never noticed until I pointed it out (oops). I think I only caught on because I am a name nerd, so I notice things like that, I just don’t think most people will.
Yeah, I tend to be a bit concerned about initials, too. My last name also starts with a C and it can really mess things up! However, it worked out with our son, who’s initials are [name]JAC[/name].
I agree with [name]Ash[/name]. I would change it to [name]River[/name] [name]Elise[/name] just in case. In high school, our sports bags had our initials on them and we had one girl whose initials were PMS. It was pretty tragic. RAC isn’t as bad but if you’re daughter is destined to be busty, I would try to avoid any potential boob related nicknames if possible.
That actually made me laugh because I am the exact same size and I feel your pain and I can see your trepidation. When you’re large chested, things like RAC tend to stand out to you a bit more. >_<
I think if you love the name, you should use it. It has a lot of meaning to you.
Lol. It wouldn’t be an issue for me - at least not like TIT would! But then, I’m not very busty. If it makes you uncomfortable, by all means change the middle.
I had to re-read the topic a few times to even get the reference. No one will notice or care. Her middle name is never used unless on official documents anyways.
[name]How[/name] many people are really going to make that connection?
It took me a while to get it. And I certainly wouldn’t have realised unless I had been told to look for something. I think you would be fine, but I like the suggestion of switching to [name]Elise[/name] if your worried.
I’m a 26 yearold female and I have no idea what RAC stands for. Anyone care to enlighten me?
@peppersprout I think because it sounds like “rack” as in the slang term for breasts.
Did you intentionally use “bust” in the title. lol, sorry.
RAC - to me that doesn’t mean “rack”-- I wasn’t making the connection. I’m with the people who say middle names aren’t used that much. If people want to make that connection… let them. Teasing nicknames are so hard to predict. Kids are just cruel at times.
I also agree that [name]Elise[/name] seems like a perfect alternative to avoid the A. Unless you are then going to worry that REC might insinuate she’s a home-wrecker or a “wreck” (mess) or she can’t drive or she likes to hang at the REC center.
I honestly do not mean this to sound snotty- I’m trying to be funny 
It took me forever to even figure out the problem!
I wouldn’t give it another thought.
That was the first thing I thought, too! Hahaha.
I think [name]Elise[/name] is probably a better alternative.
Dude, no way! [name]Don[/name]'t even think about changing it because of something so silly!! I have bigger boobs than you and it never even crossed my mind, even when I read your title!!
Rack is RACK anyway. Seriously, how often do people look at someone’s initials like that? Hardly ever.
[name]Don[/name]'t give it another thought!! FWIW my daughter due in [name]September[/name] will be ARM. I hadn’t even thought about how that would look until I read your post. So not a big deal
I’m on the fence on this one. On the one hand, it is unlikely that your daughter’s peers find the connections. My dad’s initials are [name]DOC[/name] and my grandfather has always said he’s surprised he didn’t get [name]Doc[/name] as a nickname. On the other hand… teens get teased for less. I would probably say go for it if there wasn’t such a large chance that your daughter be busty. Like a previous poster pointed out, having your initials on gym bags is not at all uncommon. I’d stay away from it if I were you. Sorry 
On another note… I much prefer [name]River[/name] [name]Elise[/name] to [name]River[/name] [name]Alice[/name]. That might be a good option?
Before marrying, my initials were BOT. I can’t remember evr being teased about it when I was younger, it’s really been just my husband who found it highly hilarious
However, I think the problem you now have is that your family HAS already made the connection, so it may be hard to change now. Maybe you just need to be firm and say that this is the name you love and have decided on and could they please not mention it again? Or test it with a few trusted friends to see if they immediately make the same link or not. If so, it may be more noticeable than you or we here on Nameberry think. But otherwise I think it would be a shame for such a possibly small thing to make you question your decision, and you may laetr regret not using the name you wanted.
