Initials TT: acceptable, or cruel and unusual?

KJmashup · May 2010

If I choose a first name that begins with a 'T' and our last name also begins with a 'T', will my boy be fodder for playground (and later, water-cooler) ridicule?

I wouldn't choose a middle name that begins with a vowel, to be sure, but I just wonder if TT is a bad idea. Any thoughts?

i dont think it matters, just as long as his MN doesnt start with I

I don't think it's bad.

I think it's fine. TTs are cool cars :-)

Haha this! Now that would be cruel and unusual but using TT is not wrong in my eyes at all.

Totally fine.

Seeing TT makes me think of the term ti-ti, used for 2 eighth notes in music (can you tell I'm a music teacher?)

acceptable.

My best friend in high school had the initials TT and I don't remember any ever making fun of her! Go for it!

TT is a naughty slang word in Tagalog (Pilipino)

lmao - that is the first thing that popped in my head. My dad is from the Philippines and so I've heard the term, but I never knew if it was a family term or a well-known Tagalog term.

my initials growing up were TT. i don't remember getting any grief about it.

Make his middle name start with N. ?That way his initials are TNT like dynamite. ?Very manly. ?:)

I would try to avoid using it as a nick name, but as initials I think it's fine.

I wouldn't think anything of it. I think it gets weird when the initials spell something or are all fairly similar, but if two of them are the same it doesn't matter.

My first thought was an Audi sportscar, not slang for urinating. I think you're fine.

Awesome, thanks, everyone! It looks like my boy should be fine as long as he is not around people who speak Tagalog. Stick out tongue
