The middle names of our twins are family names. I cant have the initials CJ because of a horrific association and DH is set on the name Cole

We are naming one boy Cole Trost (Trost pronounced with a long O)

And we both really like Blake, but the middle name would be Jesse. I dont really care what the initials are but DH is kinda worried about the initials BJ. I think that once kids are old enough to realize what it means he'll be fine with his name and wont really care. Thats what I'm hoping anyway. Or we could just set him up with plenty of comebacks.

Would the initials BJ be a deal breaker for you or no?

It's not a deal breaker for me.

Nah. I don't know why everyone makes such a big deal out of initials anyway. If it really bugs him, he can just use B-last initial instead of BJ-last initial.

*That's assuming you aren't planning on calling him BJ. That would be a whole other matter entirely.

Most little kids don't go around saying their middle names, so as long as you aren't one of those mom who uses their first and middle names when you are correcting him it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.

It wouldn't be a deal breaker for me, but DH would have a problem with it too.

No. Thats silly. People actually CALL children BJ all the time (atleast where I'm from: Like Billy Jr. Billy Joe etc.) and it's never an issue.

Unless you are planning on calling him both names I doubt anyone would catch on to the initials anyway..it will be more likely what the first and LAST name initials are then the first and middle unless YOU use them.

no. his full initials will be BJ?

besides its family names and I dig those.

Nope, dont plan on calling him that.

Nah. I knew several guys growing up who went by BJ because of their initials. I'm sure they got teased about it every now and then but they weren't scarred for life or anything. I personally didn't associate the initials BJ with blowjobs until late high school/early college, probably because I did have friends called BJ. Maybe I'm just naive though.

Not a deal breaker. I know a BJ who is a woman.

Ditto

Nah. Went to school with a guy named BJ. No one really made the connection until much later in school, and by then it wasn't really a biggie.

Ditto all of this, except I only knew one.
