My initials are KJT. As a kid I was called KJ. I’ve always loved my initials!
My initials are KCG. I used to be SKC, but dropped the S when I got married because I never used my first name. Fun fact: Post 9-11 it’s VERY difficult to drop your legal first name…even if it’s a name you never use. I had to hire an attorney and have a full legal name change approved by a judge. I guess it’s worth it to be KCG.
Fun fact #2: If I had kept the S and dropped the C I would have been SKG, like the Speilberg movie production company.
My initials are HMS, which I’m fairly indifferent about. As a teenager though my parents would call me Patricia when I was being angsty (for PMS).
Makes me think of Her Majesty’s Ship! Like in HMS Pinafore…you don’t by any chance love a sailor do you?
;-)
My initials are JNM…..I’m indifferent about them. I love that cutting board with the initials! I would love to have that!
My initials are DBM. They used to be DLB and tho I was sad to give up my place at the front of the alphabet, I’m happy to be married to my RFM.
My initials are RMS. They don’t spell anything exciting, but look lovely in a signature :)
My initials are ANA, and
i love having the same initial for my first and last name!
MY INITIALS ARE…DMK. i have no real affinity or hatred towards my initials, its the name my parents gave me so im cool w/ it.
My initials are JTM and I made my maiden name (Thorburn) my middle name. Before changing my name friends used to call me J-Tho… You know, as a nod to J-Lo… The name is where the similarities end. :)
My Initials are JSHM — a lot of names!
My initials are S.E.A.
My husband’s are M.A.A.
See Ma?
Ma See? (White Collar reference, anyone?)
Love it :)
My initials are RQHS. I’m a name hoarder… when I got married I kept both my middle and last names and just added another last name.
MY INITIALS ARE MJ. Love my initials and hardly ever use the last one. Husband and I are C&J and we would adore something marked just so.
My initials are TJG. Nothing fun about them.
My initials are RB. Nothing exciting, but I like them! :-)
MY INITIALS are: JMB. Nothing special or exciting about them!
MY INTIALS ARE KEG. This is my married name and my husband always jokes that he is going to get my initials tattooed on his body and then he will have an ode to myself and his favorite beverage. Classy, I know!
My initials are ARM. Needless to say my initials are a body part! My initials are changing though – recently married so the last letter will now be B (ARB).
CLB… They didn’t change when I got married last May so they are with me forever!
My initials are KHS…. like my husbands high school!
VWH When I got married, I moved up in the alphabet. Love the fish gurgle pitcher!
My initials are EMH. I kind of indifferent about them. I love my name but don’t think there is anything particularly special about my initials. So excited about this giveaway though – I love monograms!
my initials are amh. i like ‘em!
MY INITALS ARE “KLR,” and I’ve always loved writing “L’s” in cursive, so I’m happy to have that in there! (weird, i know).
My initials are JNL!
My initials are PLRH!
MY INITIALS ARE… TJD. Nothing too fancy. Kinda harsh now that I think about it; no pretty vowels in there. C’est la vie.
MY INITIALS ARE: CBS… just like the tv network. It’s not that interesting, but I do love my initials!
My Initials are GAS
I’m not thrilled with them as you can only imagine.
comment of the day!
MY INITIALS ARE… LEB (technically), or BB. I don’t love or loathe my initials. My first name is Leslie, but I have always gone by Beth (nickname off my middle name Elizabeth), which is actually kind of a pain to go by a nickname off your middle name…
Beth – all three of my sons go by their middle names and #2 uses a nickname off Henry – Hank. All three, I think, would agree with you. :-)
My initials are so boring. Before I was married they were KJH and now they are KJW. Oddly enough, in elementary school there was another student in my class with same initials, we were always getting things mixed up!
MY INITIALS ARE AMF. I’m pretty indifferent about them. I love monogrammed stuff though!
MY INITIALS ARE KBL.
I just got married so I’m kind of just not used to them… especially since I still use my old initials kbh all day everyday at work to sign off on stuff. ugh.
MY INITIALS ARE JLS. For initials, I guess they are alright. Sure would be cool if they were YHL though. :)
MY INITIALS ARE….KT! Which is also my name, Katie.
My initials were BMM; it wasn’t until I was older that I learned what “BM” was and why my mom would never get my initials embroidered on things. Now they are BMW; one day, I will get a car with my name on it! I think it’s a fair trade.
My initials are… JHC!
After I got married I made my maiden name into a middle name, which caused a fun inversion:
Before marriage: Johanna Charlotte Hyde = JCH
After marriage: Johanna Hyde Cage = JHC
Those letters were just detined for me I guess. :)
My initials are SS. Before marriage they were SF. I use to think that was cook since I am from the Bay Area.
MY INITIALS ARE CDM!
My initials are ALW. I like the way it flows.I have the beginning, the middle, and the end of the alphabet.
My initials are EW. Which is not actually that nice. :-(
Isn’t it weird how your own initials jump out at you from places like license plates? Just parked behind a car the other day that had my first-middle-last initials in order…and of course I noticed.
My initials are KLR
Love ‘em!
My initials are…JLR. I like that my fancy monogram didn’t change much when I got married (my maiden name is a P name). Aesthetically, I didn’t have to “used to” how it looked.
My initials are CRS – but before I got married they were CSR, totally tripped me up for a few years, and I still sometimes get confused when someone asks me to initial something :)
My initials are NMW. Having all zigzags makes it easy to initial anything in a hurry – just scribble and go!
My initial are EMG. I think theres a company called that… When I get married my initials will be EMW, I think I’ll like those better!
MY INITIALS ARE:
RLM and I’ve always been a fan of the cursive L.
MY INITIALS ARE CLN. And I love them because they are “clean”! And I love all things monogrammed!!
My initials are SJP. My husband’s initials are EJP. We carried on the “J” tradition when my daughter was born. Her initials are LJP.
Fellow JP here!
PS- happy 10 months to Clara! don’t they just grow up way too fast???
