Initials?

leahheiran

I am 38 weeks pregnant right now and still have no clue what I should name my baby boy. I like strong, somewhat traditional and masculine sounding names. I like the name "Blake" but my last name starts with the letter "S". Would it be horrible to have his initials be "BS"?

Eh, I would avoid BS. How about Grant?

BS were my initials before I got married (along with a lot of relatives). it was never an issue except when those italian charm bracelets were really popular my mom got me one and wanted my initials on it. I made sure she got me all three initials!

That wouldn't bother me in the least.

Thank you for all the responses! The time is coming soon when I will have to make a final decision but I do LOVE Blake and really cannot figure out any other names I like at all!

Wouldn't bother me.

Honestly, I don't think initials matter at all.  Besides, if he has a middle name, there would be another initla in there.

Blake's a good name:)

What about Drake?

I think it's fine. I really like Blake.

It wouldn't bother me. I don't think only first and last initials are used that often. It would be worse if all 3 initials spelled something bad. Go with Blake!

Wouldn't bother me one bit, especially for a boy. Girls are more likely to monogram and wear initial jewelry... boys not so much. But even for a girl, I would totally go for it if I loved a name.

It wouldn't bother me.  I mean, he'll have a middle name, right?  Then his initials won't be just BS.

I was BS up until the day I got married. I don't have a middle name. I hated it, was constantly reminded of it. Could not wait to be married to a G.

I would probably not go for BS my initials are MAD which went down a treat at school....

I don't think it's a big deal. When you really have to worry about teasing is grade school, and if a grade school child knows enough to tease a child about those particular initials, then that's the problem of the child who's doing the teasing (and the parents).

It could be more of an issue in high school, but he would be older and able to handle it on his own.

Blake is a great name (it was almost our youngest son's name and I briefly considered it for this pregnancy, which is a girl, but I loved it more for a boy). If that's your favorite, then go with it!

My parents almost gave me the initials HAG, so it could always be worse lol!

I would use it.

I can see your concern but I think it's fine. Just don't do Jack S and you're ok.

I would definitely avoid it.
