Aright, so my boyfriend Eric and I had our baby's name picked out. We both really liked it and everything. But the other day we were talking and we think that we should think of a different first name because of the initials he'll have...BJA. We don't want him to get teased at school because of the whole BJ thing. Even though we might end up giving him a different name once he's actually born, we want to be prepared and have his name picked out.


I know I've asked this question before, but I'm going to ask again. Sorry for being repetitive. Do you any of you have any suggestions for a first name to go with the rest of his name?? _________ James Adams.

Thanks

Agreed. I grew up with a BJ who was an absolute sweetheart. When we hit high school, a few of the morons kept mentioning the BJ thing, but most people made a joke when they met him, then let it drop. Even the ones that kept bringing it up were doing it in a friendly (though stupid) manner; no one did it to really hassle him.

Are you planning on calling him BJ? If not, I don't think it'll be a huge deal. Many kids don't even know one another's middle names. If your last name was a J-word it might be a big deal because kids would know the BJ initial thing there but honestly, I don't think you have much to worry about.

No we're not planning of calling him that. We're just both kind of scared that he'll get picked on in school because that was the case with both of us for a long time due to being way too shy. We just don't want him to have to deal with getting picked on, especially for something we did to him.

Let's be honest, does anyone actually know anyone who calls a blow job a BJ? Its a stupid kids invention and bottom line, you're only a kid for 18 years (and for at least half of that you're too young to know what a blow job is) and then you grow up and have another 70 years to bear the name that your parents loved. Go with what you love.

Very good points. Thanks :)

I agree with the person above, first and middle name initials aren't used very often at all. I know a guy who goes by BJ and I don't think he has too many problems or else he wouldn't go by that! Go with your firt choice name.

What is the first name, if you don't mind sharing.

I know an Ian Adams!

I like Tyler James Adams. Then it could be T.J. I also really like the name Christian. My baby boy name is Christian Alexander.

If you really like the name, use it. If you don't plan to call the kid BJ then he most likely won't be called BJ unless he wants to be called that. I had a friend who prefered going by BJ because his real name was Bobby Joe (I'm not even kidding).

I mean, we had fun with it. On Academic Bowl trips we'd make signs and stick them in the windows saying "Honk if you like BJs!" and then he'd wave to the people who honked.

Our son's initials were going to spell out H.O.E.S., but we changed the order of the middle names so it will spell out H.E.O.S.
Hopefully that won't be too bad for him.

But still, as the user above me said, if you really like the name, use it.

Thank you for all the suggestions :)

Okay... I'm in Australia, which might be why I'm not getting the connection here... what's up with BJ? What does it mean?

And I agree with some of the other posters - most of the kids he'll go to school with won't know his middle name, and chances are, if they do, they won't actually make that connection... whatever it is...

[anapology.livejournal.com]

Blow Job..

[anapology.livejournal.com]

If i were you I'd just add another middle name in before the James so..

B____ _____ James Adams.

Seems easier than coming up with another nae you both love.

[alexandria-skye.livejournal.com]

i didn't make the connection with the negative connotation of bj until i read the other comments. at worst, i came up with barney's cousin (?) the yellow and red one! :)
i say, if you love the name, go for it...

[fatallyxyoursx3.livejournal.com]

Haha I forgot about that character.

[unbakedbrownie.livejournal.com]

I like Oliver James! :)
