My initials became BJ with marriage. I don't like it.

Don't do it

If you must, switch first and middle names

You can also use Giulietta or Giulia.

Does it matter that the first two initials say BJ? Or it is only a bad thing if your last name starts with a J?

You are sure that BV is terrible (because, you know, bacterial vaginosis), but aren't sure about BJ?

It's hard to simultaneously overthink and underthink an isue, but here you are, OP.

Ha!

I still remembering giggling in grade school about a classmate whose initials were BM. Hard pass.

I know a woman who goes by the initials "BJ." I don't even know what her real name is. She's the mom of one of my kid's close friends.

Her given name is Madison. She was given the nickname freshman year of college.

Name her Juliet. It’s lovely.

You’re thinking about this now and she’s not even born. Maybe it’s not an issue for some but it’s an issue for you and many others.

No.

Hmm I just realized I know someone with the initials BJ. Never occurred to me and she goes by her middle name so she is B J-name. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

I would not do it. We have those initials in our family, the person is a doctor, and you can guess the rest...

Juliet Beatrice Morris

With thousands upon thousands of names, I just don't see why you would choose a name with the initials BJ for a girl.

Juliet is lovely ... can you use that as the first name? Or flip flop your B and J names?

It's like Anna Sophia Smith. It's not the WORST name ... but why not avoid it if you can?

What does this mean?

It means give ME a BJ.

Such a stretch.

Stretch? You don't see middle school boys saying that to tease girls?

Did you memorize all your middle school classmates' middle names?

What a dumb comment. You don't have to memorize anything with initials like BJM! That's the POINT.

They won't know her middle name unless she decides to go by it or bring it up or wear a monogrammed sweater to school. That's the point. Teachers don't call the roll by saying "Barbara Juliet Morris" they say "Barbara Morris." And any middle school boy determined to mock initials like an Archie comics character will be able to use BM for any requisite bullying, and won't need to steal her social security card to find out that there's a "BJ" hidden in her initials as well.

That's the point.

Same here - but she's close to 80 now. When I was a kid, the girl who was nicknames BJ (for Barbara Jo) was teased - a lot.
