LMAO!

Lawrence Obadiah Lewis!

Richard Oliver Floyd Larson

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday?

(snicker)

Maybe by then people will go back to spelling words out.

Mitchell Vincent Pritchet

What if they get married and she takes a compound name? Olivet Maxine Franklin-Glover?

Mine is S.A.D. (truth), but I survived. My lucky older brother Rick got R.A.D..

Beatrice Thelma Watts

First year in college, a guy in our dorm suite was named Albert Sidney Smith. When monogrammed sweaters were in vogue… he didn’t wear one.

Oh, heck to the no! This may be one of the funniest things I’ve read all year!

I’m getting just as much humor from the comments as I did from the strip today!

I don’t mind my initials.

So would she become OMFG?

Everything will get monogrammed!

Acronyms are such a conundrum.

Are we done with Natasha?

Oh mercy! Getting to the edge there Clearance!

I’m not a big fan of that abbreviation. I hate that word and seeing it used so often gets tiring

I’ve see worst. But That would be awesome.

Thank you, Robb; I needed this laugh & its comments.

Unnecessary :-(

At one point my daughter realized kids teased each other over their initials. She had me Google to make sure hers didn’t spell anything bad. She thought it was pretty cool that SBB was a train line in Europe.

My dad, a retired medical doctor, has the initials DOA. Dead On Arrival. He even had them monogrammed onto his medical bag. My mom’s initials are MIA, Missing In Action.

Amy Schumer had to change her baby son’s name for this reason. She can thank her mother for realizing it.

My dad’s initials were WTF.

LMFAO!

I dated a Linda Sue Davis years before those initials meant something else. I wonder how she reacted later on.

“Olivet Maxine Glover-Franklin” …Most married women I know ..have their maiden name first, then hyphenate the husband’s name last… but I do get the joke. ;^)

This is really good!

Parents really need to watch out for that kind of thing when naming their kids, and think of the poor kid having to spend a life with it.

I think my father’s side of the family likes to pass down family names. His name is Thomas Anderson McCoy IV, and he named me after his mother – Marietta Mary McCoy. I’ve no doubt that if I had been a boy, I’d be the V.

Most people use their child’s middle name when their mad at them, but my uncles called me Marietta Mary strictly for the fun of it.

I guess this is the modern version of these golden oldies:

“If Tuesday Weld married Frederic March the 2nd, she’d be Tuesday March the 2nd.”

“If Ella Fitzgerald married Darth Vader, she’d be Ella Vader.”

And so on . . .

My initials are BS

Frederick Ulysses Kennedy. I used that as a fake name while visiting foreign ports during my Navy days. Now, I use “Chuck Finley”; no interesting acronym but it has mass appeal.

Wonder how the parents will explain this to their kids (or vice versa, depending on the generation?)

I knew a guy in high school named Phillip Michael Simons. I don’t know why his momma didn’t like him.

I knew a girl in H.S. whose initials are S.T.D.
