my OH won't let me have the name harry for the same reason :S that it would spell HAM.i said it could be worse, it could spell fat or something but he won't have it

Hi

As nice as the names are, I would NOT go with the Holly Abigail name beacuse of the initials,so yes, HAM would sway me against that choice!

I love Thomas!

This is what I was going to say

me too, i would say that most things that need initialing will either just use HM or use her full name with just the middle initial so Holly A. M..... so I don't think it will notice too much.

My oh's initials are CAC and he has laughed about it a few times but it's never affected him.. would only be an issue if he wanted a personalised car number plate I guess?

go with the names you love, they are lovely names btw

I really think you shouldnt let it worry you, like a few others have said, its not often you will use all your initials like that if ever, my sister who is 10 years younger than me and 22, well her initials spell MAD lol we never even noticed until a good while after which we all found hilarious, and tbh it has never bothered her

hun i would go for it. it wont matter its not like you are calling her "apple" or anything.

It would turn me off the name combo I have to say. My initials were ERF at birth, like the lorry brand. That was bad enough.

But at least HAM is better than BUM. I can think of worse but I won't lower the tone

My hubby's initials are KKK, he's managed to get through 30 years of his life with very few people knowing so it's rare she'll need to just write her initials.

My initials are ELC as in Early Learning Centre (or at least they were b4 I married!!)
Realistically tho, how often do u use your middle initial?? Wouldn't she be mostly HM?? xx
