Would you let this sway your decision?

Morning!

Me and hubby have picked a pool of about 3 names for each a boy and girl but in my heart I know the names I want.

I love Thomas Rhys for a boy and Holly Abigail for a girl.

The only trouble is our surname begins with an M so if we had a girl (which I think we are

) her initials would be HAM!

My hubby thinks this would be cruel as everything she had to initial would have HAM on! It doesn't bother me in the slightest but he doesn't want this choice now because of this and I LOVE it

Do you think he is just being daft??

My sisters initials are rac, I dont think they were around when my sister was born, but Im sure my parents wouldnt have been put off by it, sounds like a nice name too......Sont let it put you off though hun.....

I like the name, I don't think HAM is bad, but she'd probably just initial HM anyway, so I doubt it would come up.

I seriously had a friend at school & her sisters initials were HAM & their surmame was Burger..............It could be worse!!

Besides, I love the name Holly & if we have a girl that's what we will have.

Good Luck

My initials are ET - so I had a bit of flack for that!! I wouldnt worry about HAM though, there are much worse initials to have... I do understand what you mean though as its certainly something we have considered when picking names!!

My initials are SAP - which doesn't sound so bad, but my surname was Plant before I got married!!! I don't think HAM is terrible, and if you love the name then I'd stick with it!

If you want the name I would stick with it just think it prob won't be HAM for her whole life as when she gets married it will change. The names I have picked the initials will be MAT and HAT and I am not too fussed I think it's Reading into it a bit too much IYKWIM

I don't think it would matter at all. Both the names you have picked are lovely.

My brothers intitials are WKD

I find this post very amusing because one of our rules are the initials HAVE to spell something. My hubs initials are ACT, mine are EAT.. so for our baby will either be Nolan Edward (NET) or Addison Christine (ACT). HAM is quite a funny one though, but I doubt it would affect her :-)
