P last name

lil0980

Our last name starts with a P. There are a few names that we have tossed around that start with a P. Hubby is afraid to use a name that starts with a P for fear of his/her initials being P.P and being teased with that nickname. What do you girls think?

We have the same issue.  Our last name begins with P, but so do some of my favorite names.  I think that as long as the names flow it's fine.

we have the same issue too, we are avoiding P names for that reason

I would just make sure that all monogrammed or marked items had all three initials.  There will be some jerk who makes the connection and teases your kid but then again there will be some jerk to tease your kids about something anyway.  I do think  I would  avoid the name Peter though.  Peter with the initials P.P. will bring gutter minds out of the wood-work.

All of this. People will find a way/reason to tease kids, no matter what the name or initials. I would use whatever name you and Dh really love!

Our name starts with "Ph" and we are worried too. Well, *I* am worried. Dh, who has had the ln his entire life, is not. In fact, yes, Peter is on our list (but I am going to advocate for Piers instead as a compromise).

Our last name starts with P, and that has never crossed my mind.  I guess b/c I think of initials as including the middle name, too.

I would avoid it although I am probably in the minority on this issue. I'm weird about initials.
