Initials: is this a big deal?

So my favorite name of the day is Elliott, and baby boy's middle name will definitely be Thomas. Which means his initials will be E.T. and Elliott is the name of the lead character from that movie. Is that a big deal? Am I over thinking it? Thomas is a family name and not open to negotiation. Smile

No biggie.  My DH's is FAG.  To this day he has no clue what his parents were or were not thinking.  Poor boy.

Oh man! I'll add that to my list of no-no initials for when people ask about these. I usually say as long as it's not A.S.S or F.U.K. but F.A.G is pretty bad. 

OP: No biggie. I like it actually.

I say no big deal.  I wonder about initials when you think of the three together, like if your initials actually spelled something.  Wouldn't worry about ET.  Sounds like a lovely name.

I think it's only a big deal if it bothers you. It wouldn't bother me at all.

I think it's fine. People usually go by the initials of their first and last names, not middle names anyway.
