You probably know by now that we’ve pretty much never met a monogram that we didn’t like (I know that’s a weird thing for a dude to say, but I like letters and typefaces, sue me). So if you dig that particular brand of classic personalization as much as we do, then you’ll have no trouble burning through the $75 you could win from Initial Presents this week.

My initials are ABS. They spells abs which I should probably start working on since bathing suit season is around the corner. My husband’s initials are MRS and he has always hated that he is the MRS…he says it is MR. S instead.
CAB. Don’t love it, but I’ve never been called by it or anything. I have had people call me CB though…so really, pretty indifferent!
My initials are EAR. My bag has EAR hot stamped on it in big letters. I am in a hearing and speech science program and all we study are ears. It’s never been brought up before, but now everyone comments.
My initials are DRP! I love my initials because they spell Dr. P, and I am starting a doctorate program this fall, and will then actually be called Dr. P!
My initials are KAL – they used to be KAB but now I’m married and I gladly dropped my last name (Belcher), wouldn’t you!?! ha
RMG for Rebecca, but my husband has nicknamed me is “the BMG” because of Becca. I like BMG. :-)
My Initials are SLD by marriage. I’m just happy my middle name doesn’t begin with a T.
My initials are MDS!
My initials are SCS and in that order I think it looks pretty nice but when I get things monogrammed and I have to put the last initial in the middle I don’t really care for it because of the side by side S’s ( sSc )
My initials are KDN. I was just married a year ago so I’m still trying to accumulate ‘N’ stuff and get used to the last initial. Nothing special about them, but I like ‘em!
“MY INITIALS ARE ID”
I love them because when I get carded and the bartender says “I’m going to need to see some ID…” I say “THAT”S ME!!”
MY INITIALS ARE VSL, but they were VSP and I always wished they my middle name was Ingrid or Isabelle so I could be VIP
MY INITIALS ARE IAW
MY INITIALS ARE DJM… if ever I were a DJ, I’d go by DJ DJ, soon I’ll be DJW, which is really just an M upside down so I don’t think it will be a hard switch.
My initials are JFT. I had a thing for JFK (and assassination conspiracy documentaries) when I was in high school in the late 1990′s and wanted to marry a guy with a “K” last name. It ended up being a “T” guy.
my initials are cas
MOE – which is also my nickname Mo.
My initials are JBS. Nothing special.
But…I met a woman whose son’s initials were BMW and they called him “Beemer.” Sigh.
My Initials are DMW. I absolutely love monogramed stuff, especially for the home.
My initials are: MBJ which is fine, but before I was married my initials were MBS. When my hubby and I started dating he’d tease me about my initials and say we were meant to be because they stood for one of his favorites, “MeatBall Sub.” It still makes me smile just thinking about it!
My initials are ELM. I just got married and I love them. At least it spells something now.
My initials are HMM. I’m pretty excited about them because they just changed last year when I got married!
My initials are WMS…which I always loved until I moved to Chicago and they are the same initials as Waste Management System…
my initials are LS WOULD LOVE TO WIN THX FOR THE CHANCE.
MY INITIALS ARE KCR, and I love them! Because it means this is not a dream, I married my prince and have 2 beautiful girls! Also, my husbands first name starts with C, so our monogram kRc, is the same as my monogram kRc! Works out perfect for me! I love anything and everything monogrammed!
my initials are KLR :)
My initials are KMP, but I got engaged this past Friday and they will be changing to KMG! I WILL NOT be keeping my last name, because I love my first and middle names so much. Kathleen from my Dad’s mother and Mae from my Mom’s mother and I go by Katie Mae. Talk about a nice, southern double name. I have always loved it!!
My initials are… SCP. Before I was married my first initial and last name made the word slavery which made for some embarrassing work email addresses.
My initials are SMI. It is difficult to sign an “i” at the end.
Mine are ABH….my maiden initials were ABZ…although I hated being last in everything at school, I loved that my initials spanned the alphabet :)
My initials are JBW. Pre-marriage they were JBK, which was a nickname when I was a kid, had a cool-ease to it, rolled off the tongue…JBW, not so much :)
MY INITIALS are CBP. Nothing fun to see here. Although I was called Hi-C through some of middle school before everyone else had their growth spurts.
My initials are GRM. Before I was married they were GRN and I liked that because it seemed like an abbreviation for my favorite color and the color of my eyes (Green). But now that my initials are GRM, all I can think of is “Germ” :-(!!! Oh well, I love my Hubby!
MY INITIALS ARE KNP!
But they used to be KNB before I was married. I like that the sound of them didn’t change much, but I do sort of miss that B! I would say they’re nothing interesting, but I’m certainly attached to them :-)
My initials are KVW. Which I like, though not for any reason, I just do. My baby’s initials are GWW and since his first name is sort of un-nickname-able, we call him G Double W(“double double u”), which has a nice ring to it!
MY INITIALS ARE CRS. Pretty standard set of initials!
My initials are EGC… um.. electrical guitar company? haha
My initials were DKG and changed to DKP when married. Nothing special or unusual. But I have to wonder about the newlywed who loves her new initials ABM!
MY INITIAL ARE KALK
I like my initials ok but usually just put my first initial on things which also become my last initial when I married.
MY INITIALS ARE KJ or KAJ. I love them both. In high school I was always called KJ and now, I play soccer and my teammates call me KAJ (cage). I love them so much I decided not to change my last name when I got married!
MY INITIALS ARE SMS.
I have always liked my initials. It think it is fun to have the same first and last name initials because people can’t go wrong when buying you something with an initial on it.
MY INITIALS ARE LMD! I really like my initials, not sure what words I can make out of them, maybe some sort of Medical Doctor??
MY INITIALS ARE JPK and I am pretty indifferent to them
MY INITIALS ARE LS – my dad’s are GAS, so that’s a bit embarrassing!
My Initials are MAC. The amazing thing is they spell my husbands name!
My initials are KLF. I love them because even when I got married they didn’t change. Both my maiden and married names start with F, which is pretty cool.
My initials are JLB. I love them, even though they don’t spell anything interesting. :)
Jennifer B.
MY INITIALS ARE ST. I’ve always kinda hated that it’s the abbreviation for saint, mostly because i think of a saint Bernard.
MY INITIALS ARE ME! A quick and easy signature that can be personal or professional.
