Our last name is Money and my husband thinks it would be neat to have there initails be A.T.M.

For a girl we have Abbey T. Money and a boy Andrew T. Money.

Is it too silly? Or is it kinda cute and korky?

I don't want to cause my child any embarassment.

Please let me know.

Thank you,
Catrina

i don't think it is silly. my dh is the same way. our last name starts with a M so at first he was dead set on the initials D.A.M. i had to put my foot down on that one. then he went to K.T.M. which i guess is a type of motor. i was ok with that since not too many people would pick up on that but we couldn't find a girls' middle name. so...we ended up using the initials A.C. (for arctic cat...can you tell my dh is a motor head?). we all know what a.c. stands for, but not too many others do unless we tell them. i don't think A.T.M is bad...like D.A.M. it's kinda fun, actually!!!

I had a little boy in my 4th gr. class a couple of years back with the initials ATM. He thought it was very cool and some called him "The Money Man." Though, I don't think a typical little girl would be into this as much.

Honestly, I dont' think I would recognize it unless it was pointed out to me, or if I just saw the initials together. At that time, I would think it funny and perhaps a little silly. But really, they are just initials, lol. Do what you like. It's not THAT bad...
