Initials.
posted 2nd Feb
So I plan on naming my first son Brian Ray Baert. (He's due in May 2013) I didn't notice until my oldest brother was like "HEYYY. His initals are BRB!!"
Now I am kind of worried what kids would honestly say about it. I mean it's a known texting lengo for be right back.
My SO picked out Brian. He is extremely picky on names and took him all through out my pregnancy until now (6 months)to get it. The middle name is also important to me. My grandfather who was more like a dad to me (father figure was never around) was named Ray/Raymond; he had passed away back in August 2012 (Around the time I conceived).
I am not willing to name the kid Raymond for a few reasons. One being because here in Belgium, the name would be butchered because of the R and not so 'american' sounding. Two is SO's BFF is named Raymond, and we don't want him thinking "Oh you named this kid after me!" (Kind of ticks me off... lol.) Also I had a name planned out for a girl if the baby was a girl and her name was going to be Ryliee Rae Baert. So it was kind of already STUCK as a middle name.
I guess I am not asking what do, but how other people feel about it.

I think it's a nice name and will age well with him.
I have to say I'm so glad it's a boy and not a girl. Ryliee is a terrible spelling.
ETA: I wanted to add that unless the initials spell A-S-S or Sm-U-r-f, I don't think you need to worry. Lol

I wouldn't worry about kids making fun of his initials for that mine are BMB && my brothers are BRB! lol Brandt Ryan Borchardt.. he's never had any problems....

BRB doesn't seem like anything to worry about. He'll be fine! Cute name by the way!

I was only worried about the teasing of it from kids since kids these days can be extremely harsh. (I have a sister in HS and she gets bullied on a lot still... :s).
But thank you ladies for the help (:
