We knew LO would have a J middle name (after DH's grandfather) so although DH like Bryce as a name I vetod it immediately because of his middle name. Once he realized his initials would be BJ he quickly decided he didn't like the name anymore :silly: lamariniere on "Would you ever give your LO a name that gives him/her the initials of" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-give-your-lo-a-name-that-gives-himher-the-initials-of#post-1729085 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 07:28:37 +0000 lamariniere 1729085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I knew a guy in HS who went by BJ. I guess I was too innocent at the time to notice. :silly: I would avoid the initials. night cheese on "Would you ever give your LO a name that gives him/her the initials of" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-give-your-lo-a-name-that-gives-himher-the-initials-of#post-1729031 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 06:46:31 +0000 night cheese 1729031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ If I liked a name, I'd use it no matter what the initials are. I would just avoid getting anything monogrammed.

My MIL's initials are BJ and she goes by BJ. I hate it. I feel weird talking about her by name out in public or to people I don't know well. keiki_mama on "Would you ever give your LO a name that gives him/her the initials of" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-give-your-lo-a-name-that-gives-himher-the-initials-of#post-1728356 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 20:31:32 +0000 keiki_mama 1728356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I couldn't...I'm too immature.

I was in a wedding a few years ago and the best man was BJ Weiner. Not kidding.

As a funny aside... the following convo happened with my hs bf's mom. His name was AJ and his mom said she wanted to name him something that she could call him by his initials. Last name started with M. Her: I wanted to name him Brian and call him BJ. But Then his initials would've been BM. Me: ...... so? Her: BM. Like bowel movement? I thought kids would make fun of him. Me: I think they'd make fun of him for BJ more than BM. Her: BJ? Why? Me: ........................................ :shocked: Smurfette on "Would you ever give your LO a name that gives him/her the initials of" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-give-your-lo-a-name-that-gives-himher-the-initials-of#post-1728300 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 19:58:53 +0000 Smurfette 1728300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope Foodnerd81 on "Would you ever give your LO a name that gives him/her the initials of" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-give-your-lo-a-name-that-gives-himher-the-initials-of#post-1728299 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 19:58:10 +0000 Foodnerd81 1728299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My DH's first middle initials are BJ. I don't think he ever got made fun of for it, but it's not first last, which would be more noticeable though. He likes that his initials are BJ (insert eye roll here). My LO's first middle initials are CM, which makes me think of TTC. mrsjazz on "Would you ever give your LO a name that gives him/her the initials of" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-give-your-lo-a-name-that-gives-himher-the-initials-of#post-1728263 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 19:31:32 +0000 mrsjazz 1728263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yup. My LO's initials are BJ, my husband's, too. My co-worker and my cousin also go by BJ. My husband didn't get picked on for it. Not everyone is 12!

I'd have to really like the name. I do know someone with the initials BMJ...so either BM or BJ.

ETA: And he DEFINITELY got teased for it too. It didn't help that we dated in high school and he was pretty lewd/innapropriate and talked about sexual things a lot...probably to compensate for the teasing. cmomma17 on "Would you ever give your LO a name that gives him/her the initials of" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-give-your-lo-a-name-that-gives-himher-the-initials-of#post-1728214 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 18:59:09 +0000 cmomma17 1728214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I could never do it.

I watched Reba earlier and now I'm watching Love It Or List It. I want to inappropriately giggle every time I hear someone call another person "BJ" - apparently I'm 12.
