Baby's will be MRS (girl) or MJS (boy). Nothing exciting, and MRS might provoke a little teasing, or at least, won't be good for monogramming but we can always do MSR version. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-picking-out-names-how-important-was-your-los-initals#post-291913 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 11:34:22 +0000 Mrsbells 291913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we didnt really think about initials </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-picking-out-names-how-important-was-your-los-initals#post-291864 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 11:03:17 +0000 spaniellove 291864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll be doing a four initial name and I just don't want it to be LAZY! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-picking-out-names-how-important-was-your-los-initals#post-291412 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 21:36:49 +0000 Springtime 291412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope, never even though about the initial! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-picking-out-names-how-important-was-your-los-initals#post-291105 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 14:42:24 +0000 Rock n Roll 291105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Dad named my youngest sister based on her initials.

I'm not thrilled that her last two initials are BM, but B is my last name and M is DH's.

Ending with a "B" could have made some awkward combos as well as some good ones if we chose a vowel for a middle name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-picking-out-names-how-important-was-your-los-initals#post-238947 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 00:33:59 +0000 sunny 238947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been struggling with this! Is CAO weird for initials? I don't want her to be called "cow" or have her made fun of because of her initials.</p> <p>@Andrea, we're ruling out CEO for our little one... too much pressure! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-picking-out-names-how-important-was-your-los-initals#post-238530 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 15:57:31 +0000 Andrea 238530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just made sure it wasn't anything ridiculous. For our next, my MIL keeps on joking that we should try for the initials CEO, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-picking-out-names-how-important-was-your-los-initals#post-236669 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 19:07:13 +0000 sera_87 236669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Didn't think too much about it but his initials are AWW.

(gag, sag, hag, lag, keg, leg, etc) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-picking-out-names-how-important-was-your-los-initals#post-236275 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 16:32:20 +0000 mediagirl 236275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't really care as long as they didn't spell something ridiculous. Thankfully, she has all consonants so, they don't spell anything. </p>
