Two questions:

First off: When you're looking at names, how much do you care about the initials spelling something?

This is inspired by my friend Patrick Owen O'Neill who was telling me yesterday how he was teased as a kid because the other kids thought his initials were funny.

Secondly: Are there any names that your would ordinarily like/love but that have been ruined by knowing someone awful with it?

For me:
Crystal
Katherine/Katie/Kate
Ian
Jordan on a girl
Stuart
Jeremy

I knew a girl growing up whose initials were PMS. We definitely teased her about it and for that reason, I do think about it. Of course I have a friend who took her maiden name as her middle name and made her initials ASS (and doesn't really mind...her name also became a sentence because her maiden name is a verb and her married name a noun)

I can't really think of any (but I always dread when I meet someone who has the name Eve or the name Collin that they will be terrible and ruin the names we have picked out)
