Agree. I know it seems like middle names are such a big deal when you are picking names but 6 years later, I have to actually pause to think about my kids' middle names sometimes.

BM means bowel movement. Keep trying.

I know a young man who goes by BJ and those aren’t even his initials. His name is like Mark Butler and he goes by BJ. So there is one person who clearly thinks it’s ok.

I absolutely wouldn’t do it. We are always initialing stuff at work. I don’t know anyone’s middle names but i see initials all the time. My mom was a BJ and hated it. The jokes never stop.

In some places Barbara Jean, with a nickname of “BJ” is very common.

This made me laugh out loud! So something I would do too!

No one is going to call him Brian Michael. Or Brianna Jane unless you do. And only then. They MIGHT someday shorten it to BM or BJ. But that is not going to happen unless you go in with the plan to call them by the initials. No one has ever called my kids VL or ML


And seeing their full name- no one will think hahah his initials are BMR. Haha BM It would be more likely to be commented on if the initials spell something.

Go with your top choices.

You think bj is the MOST acceptable???

I do, too. BJ is a pretty well known nickname. BJ Hunnicut from MASH never once made me think of blow job.
