I've lived in the South too long!!! I don't think either of these things have a negative connotation so I wouldn't worry about it at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/like-almost-love-the-name-but-not-the-initials/page/2#post-2283632 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 21:32:42 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 2283632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SEC is totally fine! DH loves it when things ask for his initials because he gets to write BS everywhere. So sometimes odd initials can be fun. </p> <p>Although, I did meet a woman who, after she got married her initials became STD... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/like-almost-love-the-name-but-not-the-initials/page/2#post-2283607 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 20:55:44 +0000 Astro Bee 2283607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like PP, I see no problem with SEC. It could refer to any number of nonoffensive acronyms. I'd be more concerned with initials that spell actual words, like some of the previous posts. My old boss's initials were RAT Lastname. Rather than signing documents R Lastname, he always used all three first and middle initials, so I guess he just owned it. Still better than some of the ones previously mentioned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/like-almost-love-the-name-but-not-the-initials/page/2#post-2283435 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 17:46:24 +0000 mauxie 2283435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: hahah!

But I don't think either of those are problematic associations and I think the name is great!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/like-almost-love-the-name-but-not-the-initials#post-2283249 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 14:09:06 +0000 busylizzy111 2283249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also looked at the initials as some of our choices turned out to be LCD or LED- hubby said no one would notice (initials are NOT a big thing here in Germany anyway), but I did not want a TV or lightbulb kid :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/like-almost-love-the-name-but-not-the-initials#post-2283196 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 13:22:42 +0000 honeybear 2283196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SEC is fine. I thought of the federal agency too, but there are a lot of three-letter acronyms in government and avoiding them all in naming a child seems pointless. Think of all the things that would be "out": OMB, DOJ, IRS, DoD, DEA, EPA, DOL, CBO, LoC...and on and on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/like-almost-love-the-name-but-not-the-initials#post-2283195 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 13:22:03 +0000 ldh112 2283195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: hahaha. </p> <p>SEC is totally fine in my opinion.

Honestly, we gave our LO a name that gave her questionable initials, but no one has ever noticed or said a thing. </p>
