I think it's fine and you should go with the name that you want :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/horrible-initials#post-2764837 Thu, 03 Aug 2017 10:55:10 +0000 KayKay 2764837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD2 is EW ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/horrible-initials#post-2764689 Thu, 03 Aug 2017 01:15:10 +0000 ElbieKay 2764689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a (Catholic) friends whose initials are JEW. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/horrible-initials#post-2764673 Wed, 02 Aug 2017 21:44:01 +0000 808love 2764673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were careful about initials but it still spells out a word that is a decent, scientific prefix. There is only so much you can do. You might pick really safe initials and then it will someday become the next omg, lol or wtf. But probably wouldn't do the PP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/horrible-initials#post-2764671 Wed, 02 Aug 2017 21:36:15 +0000 Littlebit7 2764671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just discovered my kids initials are the symbol of a popular vacation destination in the northeast. Score...I don't have to buy anymore monogrammed stuff for her </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/horrible-initials#post-2764666 Wed, 02 Aug 2017 21:20:57 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 2764666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Meowkers: I really wanted to give our son my grandfather's name for his middle name, but his initials would have been FRT and I couldn't do it. But I think PP will be just fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/horrible-initials#post-2764458 Wed, 02 Aug 2017 13:00:09 +0000 Smurfette 2764458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We decided on a name and then my DH pointed out her monogram was PMS. Oh well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/horrible-initials#post-2764451 Wed, 02 Aug 2017 12:55:52 +0000 JennyPenny 2764451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Meowkers: I think kids may laugh about it when they notice but she probably wouldn't be teased about it in a recurring way.</p> <p>@SweetiePie: I just gave my kiddo the initials ITS and have heard no end of grief from other adults about how could I give him those initials....really!? So it makes me really glad to hear your sister never had any issues. </p> <p>ETA: after this response I realize that kids probably won't comment - but you will likely hear about it from plenty of adults when you announce the name... :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/horrible-initials#post-2764446 Wed, 02 Aug 2017 12:52:45 +0000 SeptMomma12 2764446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry about PP or PAP. I will say in grad school, our school assigned emails based on initials - e.g., <a href="mailto:ABC1234@school.edu">ABC1234@school.edu</a> - and there was someone with the initials VAG that definitely raised a few eyebrows. I think like @SweetiePie: said, I'd just stay away from really bad ones like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/horrible-initials#post-2764444 Wed, 02 Aug 2017 12:49:49 +0000 SweetiePie 2764444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only initials I wouldn't do is something like ASS or other 3 letter slurs or profanities.<br /> My sister was EAT and she never heard a word about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/horrible-initials#post-2764441 Wed, 02 Aug 2017 12:47:46 +0000 theotherstark 2764441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Meowkers: I honestly don't think it's a big deal at all!!

I think it's fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/horrible-initials#post-2764162 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 21:43:55 +0000 LCTBQE 2764162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>PP as first and last initials doesn't make me think of peepee, but I admit PAP does make me think of a PAP smear :) I really don't think this is bad enough to make you reconsider your P first names at all. If the initials were PLP or PSP or something, would you still think of schoolyard pee jokes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/horrible-initials#post-2764159 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 21:35:09 +0000 travellingbee 2764159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think anyone pays attention to initials ... unless it's a curse? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/horrible-initials#post-2764109 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 20:09:57 +0000 arosebyany 2764109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My child's initials are PAD so.... :silly: I think you'll be fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/horrible-initials#post-2764074 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 18:52:07 +0000 gotkimchi 2764074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think this matters even a lkttke </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/horrible-initials#post-2764073 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 18:43:10 +0000 gingerbebe 2764073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also if your kid gets a monogram it will be like pPa. But even PAP will look fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/horrible-initials#post-2764072 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 18:39:22 +0000 Meowkers 2764072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our last name starts with a P. The two names we love unfortunately also start with a P. If we chose either name our child's initials would be PP. not sure if middle name yet but I could very well start with an A creating the initials PAP. Is this horrible? Should we pick different names? Are kids going to tease her and call her "pee pee"? </p>
