First name begins with M, last with F?

tvnewsgal · December 2014

I've always loved the name Maren, middle name Elise, but I am concerned about my daughter having the initials MF. Am I overthinking? It's my first choice, but I'm picturing some unfortunate monogramming.

Others:

Antonia Christine

Alexandra Elise

Juliet Elise

Am I missing something???

Because I really don't see the issue

MF like motherfucker? I don't even know if that is what you are thinking OP because I really had to think about it. Yes, I think you are overthinking it and no, I don't think it would be a big deal.

Her initials would be M.E.F.
Her name monogrammed would be MFE

Seriously nbd

Yup, this.

I love Maren Elise!

The name is lovely. Go for it.

Monogramming is a current trend that will be dated in 5 years anyway. It's the chevron of the minute. Don't let it influence your decision on the name.

I think Maren Elise is lovely and wouldn't worry about the initials. I also really like Juliet Elise and Alexandra Elise. Frontrunner for our daughter is Juliet Maren, so we have similar taste.

MF is fine.

Beautifull name!

I'll be the naysayer. I immediately went there and wasn't pleased. There are plenty of times, especially school when most teasing can be expected, that a person will likely have to use just their first and last initials.

Yes you are overthinking it. It's a beautiful name!

MF is fine!

You are overthinking MF. I like all of your name options. Antonia is refreshingly beautiful, and I love Juliet, but Maren Elise is great.

I was an MF before I got married, and it was never a big deal.

This. I was actually MEF and no one ever made that connection.

Maren is gorgeous. Love Maren Elise as well.

I've heard a LOT of teasing in my time, but never about a kid's initials. My sister grew up with the initials SAD and never cared; she loved her name.

You're overthinking it. My initials are ASS.

Mkherren12 · January 2015

These were my maiden initials! It was never an issue. Sure I made jokes in middle school with friends but that was it. Don't worry about it.

LNic5 · January 2015

I love Maren Elise and don't see an issue

LuvLoveXo · January 2015

I love Antonia

I honestly didn't get the MF thing until I read it on a few posts and realized what you were referring to. I went to high school with a couple of Mark's with surname beginning in F and as far as I know, it was never a problem.
