The initials VD

CurlyFry16 · August 2011

What do you think? Would the initials VD deter you enough from giving your child a V-name? I have quite a few V-names on my list and can't decide if I'm just setting my future child up for inevitable torture...

I'm pretty sure people stopped using the term VD in the 90's....

Nah...I don't think so. Just use three initials whenever you label her stuff

It depends I guess. Is there a middle initial in there somewhere? I think V as a first initial and D as the last with some kind of MN in there wouldn't be too torture worthy at all

The only initials that would give me pause would be "KKK." Everything else is a non-issue IMO.

Call me stupid, but I had to google VD to even see what it stood for..

I always avoid weird initials, I have a thing with monograms. What about the MN?

Not a big deal at all.

This. I think most people say STD, now. You'll be fine.

Thanks for your replies. There will definitely be a middle name (which is still undetermined), so it wouldn't just be VD. I didn't think VD was a very common term anymore, but it's just not something I would want people to relate to my daughter's name. Glad to know most people wouldn't think much of it, though.

meh I don't believe the term VD is used often and unless you have someone in your family who practices in pathology you shouldn't get any weird looks

There are worse initials.

***, ASS, DUM, TIT, VAG, PEE.

If you're going to have a middle name, I wouldn't worry about it. How often do kids use their initials anyway? I think those monogrammed LL Bean backpacks are out of style (aren't they?)

As long as there's a MN its fine. A guy I work with has the initials VD, which he doesn't like, but he just named his daughter Vivienne Elle, so her initials are VED.

My bestie growing up was Veronica D___. She was very popular and her initials weren't an issue. I say go for it.

Thanks for your reply! I was just wondering, where did you get your adorable DD's Alice in Wonderland shirt? We're planning a Mad-Hatter themed tea party for DD's 2nd birthday, and this would be perfect!

We ruled out all V names for this exact reason. And when we tell people we're not using any V names they immediately get why, so I think it's a lot more obvious than some of the posters here are giving credit.
