HPV - bad initials?
| Sat, 11-04-2006 - 3:31pm |
I love the names Hayden and Parker for a son. However, my husband's name is Mark and my daughter's name is Carson, so I'm afraid it'll be very confusing have another "ar" sound calling around the house. So I was thinking of Hayden Parker, except that our last name begins with a V which makes the initials HPV, which is an STD. Are enough people aware of HPV that I shouldn't use this combo. I could go Parker Hayden and then the initials would be PHV.

Well, I work in pharmaceuticals and was on an HPV vaccine account for a year, so I'm probably more aware of it than most, but with all the recent ads for the Merck vaccine and GSK coming out with another one in a year or so, I think a lot more people will be aware of it than before. So, no, I wouldn't make his initials HPV.
I think Parker Hayden sounds better anyway.
A couple of years ago, I had never heard of HPV, but I see it on TV and in magazines all the time now because of the new
sorry!
You could call him Parker Hayden and have him go by his mn? Otherwise I'd stick with Hayden and choose another mn. Just my opionion, hth...
Yes, there's a huge ad campaign for HPV right now - "tell someone." So, the people who aren't aware yet, will be. I'd go for a different mn.
Love Hayden, by the way. Great name.
