My wife and I have a great name for our baby... but her initials would be LSD. Should we find another one?

[Imperfected]

No one cares about middle names or the resulting initials.

 

[Garp TXB]

I don't know anyone who uses their full initials when they need to. They can use LD and be fine.

Ah but that's associated with Larry David

 

[nsilvias]

its no big deal. i doubt anyone will really notice it. my initials are cdr

 

[red731]

Seriously keep it. Why change it because of initials of a drug - OR - a pretty cool collaborative band!

My daughter is going to be EH.

 

[WascallyWabbit]

I mean how many people in your life can even rattle off your initials off the top of their head?
The ones who prob can don't care

 

[MrKlaw]

Most of the time they'll be LD - occasional formal documents/forms may need full names but you won't see it written LSD almost anywhere

 

[HiLife]

Alice in Wonderland is going to a be a profound revelation when your kid finds out what LSD is lol.

 

[Shiloh]

Is her first name Lu-

It worked out great for Lucy Sky of the Diamonds family.

Damnit!

 

[LProtagonist]

The only time her full initials will come up is if she decides to get something monogrammed.

 

[Red Liquorice]

It doesn't really have any bad connotations, it would just be an interesting coincidence.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

We have an nephew whose initials are NES.

We have another nephew whose initials are OAF.

 

[RPG]

Keep it. Most places only use first and last initials, and those that have 3-letter initials they like will use them regardless...

they don't typically go in first-middle-last order

 

[Whowasphone]

Having a child is the most mind altering experience, seems appropriate. Also you pretty much boosted her street cred to max

 

[AuthenticM]

why not add your wife's last name as the second last name of your child? That way your child's initials would be "LSDx" or "LSxD". It's also a good way to include your wife's lineage in your child's name-identity.

I dont even know the middle names of my closer friends, I wouldnt worry about initials spelling something

 

[Deleted member 44129]

I wouldnt worry about LSD.

If it was GTFO, EDL, WTF, KKK, I'd reconsider.

 

[Emergency & I]

It's fine.

Also, what is the Japanese name?

 

[ned_ballad]

Nobody really knows or cares what a person's middle name is 99% of the time, so it won't be noticed by basically anyone

 

[Deleted member 44129]

I had a friend (not seen in a long time), who used his middle name as his first name..... So his middle name was Scott. He was called Scott. By everyone. His parents wanted to call him Scott A**** D*****, but his grandman said they couldnt call him that because his initials would be SAD. So they called him A*** Scott D*****. ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder). I guess it goes to show that sometimes these Acronyms are meaningless ? (Before anyone launches at me, my kid has ASD, so I'm not trying to make any particular comment)

 

[Budi]

I love it! Keep it.

[gosublime]

Seriously though, I'd keep it!

 

[take_marsh]

Go with the name you love.

 

[Fiction]

I know someone who's initials are ALS. They didn't even know about the disease the majority of their life.
It's all good. Keep the names if you love them.

 

[Mona]

Mona is a good name

 

[Davidion]

Congratulations on figuring out her superhero/DJ/mob hitman/wrestler/full house name early!

 

[TheAggroCraig]

If anything I feel like that's a cool set of initials. It's not like it's VAG or something which they'd be bound to be made fun of (specifically noting this one since someone I knew had this issue).

 

[Machine Law]

My initials are CAR. No one ever uses initials to refer to someone else, don't worry.

 

[Servbot24]

What the! I wish my initials were LSD. That's awesome.

 

[Tuorom]

If you do go with the name then do not tell them about this or else it will be self fulfilled like a prophecy lol.

But honestly, it would be a pretty cool nickname.

You say this, and yet:

 

[Cat Party]

Why would anyone bully the kid over cool ass initials like LSD?

 

[djplaeskool]

Do it

 

[Aprikurt]

Worked for the Beatles.

 

[touchfuzzy]

I think I'd want to know what the name was first before I voted. So... what's the actual name?

 

[Deleted member 17092]

I mean that's basically the coolest initials one could have so why would you want to prevent that?

 

[balohna]

Not like it's DIK or something. It's more cool than funny.

 

[dallow_bg]

No one will care, so keep it.

 

[T-Virus]

I'm more concerned about the Japanese name. Do you guys are Japanese or have Japanese decent?.

 

[Aureon]

It's fine, because the issue with dumb names is <10yo kids

And <10yo kids won't be smart enough to do the initials, and wouldn't know what LSD is anyway.

If you're really worried, have her take your wife's last name?

My initials are ASS, and the only way it affected me through 25+ year so far is just not being able to use my initials as a nickname.

 

[bananab]

Think about how many kids you knew growing up. If you're like me you maybe knew the middle names of a handful of em, and even then I doubt you thought much about their initials.

 

[Bog]

No one will know what that even means in 15 years.

 

[Weltall Zero]

Agreed that LSD are pretty badass initials. Imagine them on the high score table of an 80's coin-op.

People still do middle names? Whats the point?

 

[Skade]

I propose Sophie, the initials would be much better.
