Do you buy your LOs monogrammed clothing? I was geeking out over the monogrammed outfit I got to bring Baby Grizz home in, and my coworker acted all disgusted and told me to please not monogram all his clothing. I love monogrammed things here and there - his coming home outfit, and maybe a blanket or two. If we were having a girl though, I would be going monogram crazy! I live in the South and I feel like its very popular here.
How do you feel about monograms?

I'd monogram a blanket or something, but monogrammed clothing does seem a bit odd to me.

@pui: I feel the same way. LO has a few blankets that are monogrammed.

we live in the south also and monogramming is big. DS has some adorable onesies that have his name/intials on them and some blankets that are monogrammed. they were all given to us as gifts. i own a lot of monogrammed items as well...my favorite are my mono earrings!

I okay with a little here or there. But like you mentioned it is likely more of a regional thing.

Love, love, love monograms...entire name or single letter initials.

I think it's nice in small doses-- a special outfit, special blanket, that kind of thing. But dozens of sweaters with initials would throw me. Plus, I want to reuse most nice things for #2, and it's not fair to baby #2 to have to wear a nice sweater with someone else's monogram!
We are team green and not telling people names, so I think we are clear of mongrams for a while.

@matador84: You have set me to Googling and now I am probably not going to get anything else done today! Monogram earrings! I must have them! Now I'm trying to figure out how little they can do monogram earrings so my little girl can have some, too. Curses!! LOL

I think it's really cute on certain items but a very rare sight indeed in SoCal. I'd love to get K a monogrammed blanket or pillow for her nursery.

LOVE! Though I'm getting annoyed by all of the monogrammed crap I'm seeing on Pinterest and Facebook. It's making monograms look cheap. No pocket tee deserves a monogram.

I love them ! LO is a boy so we have done things but if we had a girl I know we would have more ! I live in the south too! I want a monogram ring for my right hand !

As someone other than the parent, I think it can be cute but in some cases it can also make me want to roll my eyes. Not sure how to distinguish the two...something that belongs to the baby or is an heirloom makes sense for a monogram, but I received a card from a newborn's parent with a very serious-looking full name monogram (no other reference to the baby), which felt like it was in the wrong spirit.
