Hello! Question for you all! Would you throw out a name you love for some questionably unfortunate initials…in my case potential name for a girl would yield the first-middle-last initials LSD…
I love to monogram things, so I am very particular about initials. LSD is not as bad as [name]GAY[/name], ASS, or STD, but still not the best associations. What about adding a 2nd MN or switching the S and L and have SLD?
I would also consider adding a second name or switching if possible, and I would honestly toss out a name if it spelled unfortunate things. My bf’s last name begins with E so I’ve discarded ideas because they spell EWE, APE, PEE, SHE (for a boy), etc. I also grew up in a time and place where backpacks monogrammed with initials were a must have, so maybe I’ve over sensitive.
My DD’s is [name]CRIST[/name] and we’re atheists, so unless it was actually a really negative word like ASS I wouldn’t be bothered. LSD wouldn’t stop me.
I would toss it. Those initials are going to be on more than baby blankets. Workplaces may use them in a number of ways for e-mail, sign on names, documenting phone calls, etc. You never know when they will come up.
I don’t know why initials bother people so much; how often will she be wrting out her full initials for all to see?
I agree with maybe switching the first and middle names. My initials are JAP and in middle school I realized they weren’t the best initials. Could definitely be worse, but not great. Oh well, my initials will be JAF in about a year 
The names are [name]Lila[/name] (personal fave) and [name]Suzanne[/name] (mothers name)…switching the order doesn’t exactly work…:)…keep the opinions coming…perhaps I could put another middle name ahead of [name]Suzanne[/name]…
Totally get where you’re coming from on the initials thing. My husband and I had [name]Violet[/name] Ayami as one of our top combos…until we realized that with our surname, the initials would be VAG. Yeah, had to go back to the drawing board on that one.
Would it be possible to use your mother’s middle name instead of her first? That might solve the initials problem. Other than that, the only thing I can think of is pairing [name]Lila[/name] with a different middle name and choosing another favorite to go with [name]Suzanne[/name].
I would just give her 2 mn. Is a [name]Suzanne[/name] variation an option? It might make finding another mn easier if [name]Sue[/name] and [name]Susannah[/name] were choices too.
[name]Lila[/name] __________ [name]Suzanne[/name] or [name]Lila[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name] ________
With so many great name combinations out there, I would surely switch or change something if it was really bad. But I understand the dilemma…My last name starts with an M (my husband’s initials are MWM, which is actually pretty cool if you ask us!). But if we were to like a name starting with “A” (which we do!) and my husband wants to put [name]Rose[/name] or [name]Renee[/name] with it, she would be ARM! I know it’s not that bad, but ARM?? I don’t know. It’s not very cute, classy or feminine-- nothing more than an appendage!! The first name is an unusual one, so the only possiblity of personalization would be a monogram for her bookbag or lunchbox…what do you think? would you take the chance and just hide from such silly, but planned, initials? Would it be more embarrassing for us, her parents, who did such a thing, or her, the “victim”? But is it really that bad?? I just don’t know. My husband says it’s not, but he doesn’t think like a girl either…
What’s really bad is that altho my brother’s daughter was named for deceased grandmas on both sides, her initials spell RAT!
I know two girls (who are about age 9) with the initials CAR and [name]MAY[/name], and both thought it was really cool their initials spelt out words. So I don’t think from a child’s point of view ARM would be that bad, however if you called your daughter [name]Bella[/name] Ugenie or something and it spelt out BUM, you’ve got a different issue entirely.
What about just [name]Anne[/name] or [name]Anna[/name] as a shortened version? Then it would be [name]LAD[/name], much better.
We have a lot of interesting initials in my family: [name]CAP[/name], MAP, RAP, BMW, can’t remember others right now…
Ahh it seems the consensus it to nix it. My dear grandmother was [name]Rose[/name] - I toyed with [name]Rose[/name] as a first name for a period of time and am still considering it…I hate how generic [name]Rose[/name] as a middle name is, but perhaps [name]Lila[/name] [name]Rose[/name] D___ is the way to go…[name]How[/name] do nameberries feel about hyphenated first names 
If I really loved the name, the initials LSD wouldn’t stop me. It’s not ideal, but it’s definitely not worth giving up the perfect name in my opinion!
I knew someone, an adult, whose initials were LSD. She wasn’t, like, traumatized about it, but she did say things like “mom didn’t think about that one…wish she would have.” So definitely not the worst…but worth re-thinking. Maybe [name]Delilah[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name], nickname [name]Lila[/name]?
My initials spell JAB and I think it’s kind of cool. It’s all in the word. I’d err away from anything kind of negative. I guess JAB could be but it’s such an obscure word and since I didn’t, like, have problems with picking fights or something, it never bothered be. I don’t think ARM would have bothered me, but it’s probably a little more troublesome than JAB…and less than LSD.
I would nt let LSD stop you. It’s nothing like FAT VAG or PIG. We named our son [name]Taj[/name] [name]Hugo[/name] so his initials are THC, another drug reference but we weren’t going to let that stop us from giving him the name we loved. Good luck!
[name]Lila[/name] [name]Rose[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name] …That is beautiful! I pick that one. Or just [name]Lila[/name] [name]Rose[/name]. That’s lovely as well. [name]Don[/name]'t give up your favorite names! You can find a way to rearrange them!
I agree that adding another middle name would be a good idea.
I would not worry about it. I considered using a very professional photographer for our wedding called LSD Photogrophy (the initials of the photographers). Also, when we went to the Vancouver [name]Art[/name] Galery they stamp your hand with VAG. I knew a little boy whose initials were PMS. Also new an affluent Jewish girl with initials JAP (JAP, Jewish American [name]Princess[/name], is considered derogatory). Everyone else doesn’t care about it. As long as it doesnt spell FUK or something it’s fine.
Also, classy monograms put lastname in the middle and bigger. So you’d have LDS. Actually that I might avoid. [name]Do[/name] you want drug initials or Mormon initials?
Cheers!
