Would the initials of a name bother you?

We've agreed on a name for our little girl, but I've noticed one thing. My hubby says I'm overthinking it.
If the full initials spelt something strange, but short hand initials (just first and last) were just letters. Would this deter you from using the name?

What does it spell?

Depends what it spells

Depends what it spells. If it was like AGM or DBS it wouldn’t bother me. If it was more like PMS I might reconsider…! Honestly though if the first and last initial didn’t mean anything and I loved the name I probably would go ahead and use it but as other said it depends what it spells

I wanted to give my daughter the middle name May but that would have been PMS and I wouldn’t do that to a girl! 🤣

My mum was BAD, which I thought cool.

I factor in initials as I have a few hotstamped bags and love a monogram 🤣

We liked Alaya for a girl but our last name begins with A and we didn’t want her having the initials AA like Alcoholics Anonymous.

I liked some names starting with a B for our 3rd baby but her initials would be BJ so that’s a no😂

Really don’t think it’s an issue - when are initials even used?!

Add another middle name?

Mine are literally FRU lol 😂 and then FU with out middle name 🤣

My initials are BO and I got married to win this smelly title 😂

Mine was JAR so I don’t mind that, but if it was something like DOG or LSD or GAY id reconsider 🫠

Only if they are offensive.

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother
