Thoughts on initials (Yes, I'm bored).

pandadair · November 2013

Wednesday before Thanksgiving and I don't feel like being productive at work. Hey-o! Is it weird to have all 3 initials the same letter? Like, for instance, AAA? Since I've subconsciously convinced myself it's a girl, I'm totally stuck on the name Amelia. And I want to use my mom's name Ann as the middle. And our stupid last name starts with A. That A already messed up my desire to name a son Benton (great-grandfather) Robert (dad), because I'm definitely not giving my child the initials BRA. Is it too late to change back to my maiden name? It's cooler.

What about Emilia instead? That's one of my top picks right now.

I love the name Amelia and see no problem with AAA as initials.
Besides, how often does someone just have to write their initials?!

Katemr1146 · November 2013

PS I love Benton! It might be too close to my brother (Benjamin) and our good friends new baby Bentley.

I'm bored too. Re-watching the Tudors for like the third time.

I don't think AAA is bad at all.

Empireceo · November 2013

I prefer Emilia to Amelia, personally. They're kind of the same name but just different enough that I like the sound of the E.

AAA is fine. I knew an STD in undergrad.

I think Amelia Ann is adorable!

Peaceb0ne · November 2013

I love the name Amelia! I think AAA is fine. I love alliteration in names, but I know a lot of people don't.

Whitney0708 · November 2013

If you aren't a monogram fan, it's not a big deal at all. I love Amelia Ann!

ArmyMedic7588 · November 2013

I think my mother's name is the only time I see a problem with the triple letter, kkk. I don't think her parents thought of that one first haha! But I see no problem with AAA! And we're probably picking Amelia too if it's a girl.

hsal · November 2013

It's better she's AAA and not AA!

I actually didnt name my daughter Olivia because if I had her initials would have been OMG and that's just not nice. I'm hyperaware of initials since my friends joke that I got married and became a hag... Heather A*** Giff******.

whomp whomp.

Eh Asher's initials are ABC. It wasn't intentional, just how it worked out. lol. But my sister's name before got married was Michelle Maria..last name starts with M. MMM. She didn't mind.

I like AAA! Also, I had a client named Emilia who was a PITA so I personally much prefer the A spelling.

ajsweeton · November 2013

I don't think AAA is bad. Some initials certainly can be. I use my initials all day at work as it's the way we identify ourselves here, so I'm super sensitive to initials as well. Might be a problem if you're wanting to monogram things, but I don't think it's bad for any other reason.

pandadair · November 2013

Printing out all of this AAA support to show my husband! Maybe I'm just thinking about initials a lot, because like @ajsweeton, I use mine all the time at work. And I actually have to use all three, because apparently I was confusing people by writing NA next to everything. I like Emilia, too, but my husband poo-pooed it for some reason.

cbrust · November 2013

I don't think AAA is that bad at all! I almost vetoed Parker Blair because the initials would be PBR aka the most redneck beer.

lauralou3x3 · November 2013

My moms initials are DAD which is kind of funny. I say stick to a name you love regardless of the initials.

fyafighterwife86 · November 2013

Hell- you could be my cousin with ASS as your initials. Andrew Scott S-last name.

A million times when you're closing on a house!

TheBeeCharmer · November 2013

I think AAA is fine. Initial do matter somewhat though. We didn't give DS the middle name Thomas even though it's a family name. He'd have been WTF.

dragossoul84 · November 2013

I dont think initials are a big deal my son's are ARM. As long as it is not an obscene word I think its okay

tjkdlhb · November 2013

I agree with PPs. Initials matter, but AAA isn't bad.

For example... COW is a bad bad bad set of initials....

melissamello · November 2013

AAA is awesome.. when they graduate they'll be the first to receive their diploma. No need to sit through the rest of a long graduation ceremony

Ladiebug30 · November 2013

My dad wanted to name me Amy Sue (and our last name started with S). My mom vetoed that pretty quickly and I ended up being Amy Noelle ... (ANS) ... not much better. Now I'm ANT.

I really like Amelia but we are great friends with a couple who just had a daughter and named her Amelia.

kflynn81 · November 2013

DH's initials are JAP and he seems ok after all these years.... I wanted to name DS after my dad Patrick but I just couldn't give him the initials PP , lol!!!!

kflynn81 · November 2013

Oh on another funnier note I have a friend last name R.... They wanted to name their son to either give him the initials CPR or DNR since they were both EMTs !!!! They didn't but they should have!!!!

SMM1986 · November 2013

I think AAA is fine. I do prefer Emelia to Amelia though.
I was careful Not to give DS a middle name that started with N, he would've been MNM.

CookingStar · November 2013

Yes, my last name starts with x. Obviously I'm not going to name my child Sarah Elizabeth!

artichoken · November 2013

haha. I didn't think about initials much at all. maybe now I'llbput more thought , into it.

Lild09 · November 2013

Didn't really think about it for my kid but growing up my initials were LAW now I'm LAD lol! But even in my roll as a nurse I only ever use first and last initials... Middle ones are so rarely used I wouldn't worry unless it was offensive I suppose!

artichoken · November 2013

I just realized my friends son's initals are cock. Charlie Owen and there hyphenated last name......OMG poor kid, wow ....yikes. I'm.....yeaaaaaa maybe I'll call her?? Idk
