To what extent do initials determine your name choices?

I don't know whether I'm overthinking this, but it's likely that the name we choose for our daughter (due in August) will result in initials that form a word. Not an offensive or bad word, but a word nonetheless. Our last name begins with P. We are locked in and committed to a middle name beginning with I. (It's in honor of a family member and we've already told everyone. Plus, we love it.) So basically most first names that begin with a consonant will result in initials that spell a word, LIP, SIP, HIP, DIP, TIP, you get the idea. 

Is that a ridiculous thing to worry about, or would that affect your decision on the first name?

It wouldn't bother me unless it were bad/vulgar. Hip, sip etc are fine. How often will she really use her initials unless she gets one of those LLBean backpacks that were so cool back in school. She can always use her FnLnMn monogram if she'd rather.

Unless it's obscene, you're overthinking it. DD's initials spell out a piece of outdated technology. Oh well.

We didn't consider initials, and DS turned out to be MRG like "mister G". so sometimes we call him that. Kind of fun. We picked a first name and middle name that are family names.

We avoided the middle name Scott for DS (after DH) because we didn't want his initials to be MSG. We also avoided an "I" middle name for DD so she wouldn't be AIG.

Maybe that wouldn't bother most people, but we didn't like it.

As long as it's not offensive or super tease-worthy, I don't care. I would avoid things like ASS, FAG, etc.

DS's initials are RCA, it doesn't bother me.

Not at all. My initials are BJ

As long as they're not inappropriate, it's fine.

My initials spell out NES, like the Nintendo!

It's not something to worry about.  In fact, I spent a lot of time worrying about "how good" the first and middle names sounded together for my girls and doesn''t matter one iota.  What matters is how their name or nn sounds with your last name.
