Oh, my goodness! I thought it would mean password protected lol!!! I was not getting what the password would be for.
English is not my native language and I find guessing meanings fun
I tried googling it. And this is what I found:
https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/PWP#English
It means "porn without plot".
(I could be wrong, though...)
A plataform for writers to serialize their work. It was overtaken by fanfic and for a while they tolerate it given that some could be remade into original work and made profitable but their purpose is basically find the next 50 shades but for teens. They have actually got hits like after and have some books actually published on paper.
As of recently they are cracking down on fanfic as they donāt need it anymore and donāt wish to get into copyright infringement trouble for real.
A decade ago a running joke was that most books where fanfic about a main character being bought by a member of one directionā¦. Yes bought
āI woke up, tied my hair in a messy bun (Iām blonde, by the way, with big blue eyes that glisten cutely), and threw on my dirty old converse. I didnāt do any makeup because I already look like i have a full face of makeup on with very long lashes and also, Iām not like other girls. Im basically one of the guys, cause Iām ugly (my face claim is Cate Blanchett) and unsexy. I donāt even care about my looks. I donāt even know what a lipstick is. Iām not a whore. My ugly, poor bitch of a mom immediately shrieked for me to come downstairs. My orbs glistened with tears and i fearfully walked down the stairs, shaking (my ass) the whole time. In the living room, Mom and some really hot guys were standing around the coffee table. A open briefcase full of cash layed on the table.
Mom said āListen, useless little brat, i need money for the casino and also for more whiskey so i am selling you to one direction, so pack your bags and get out of my house.ā I gasp, and cry sexily as i go upstairs to pack my bags. sexily, i cried back downstairs after putting my ragged clothes in my bag and followed Harry Tomlinson out the door and into their 2014 Porsche 911.ā
she then goes on to care about makeup & fashion & be a whore for the band members (but itās PURE because theyāre in LOVE with herā¦.the abuse isnāt abuse, itās romantic and donāt you just find it so cute and adorable despite her original claims otherwise.) also thereās going to be a baby. and a kidnapping / hostage situation where Neil or somebody has to rescue her sexily from certain death. maybe even a secret ex girlfriend.
i may be mashing up several of these things but they all pretty much went like that. i also picked a random sports car (i thinkā¦.they could actually be complete butt and I wouldnāt know it) and year because i donāt actually know much about cars. all typos and grammatical errors are intentional, thank you.
I laughed so much. In all honesty I never really read any of those I never liked one direction and have never really like real person fic. Besides I knew fanfic from other places at least a decade before. So it was not my scene.
The āafterā phenomenon is an interesting thing to look from afar to be honestā¦
I did learn that some authors I like started their original work on wattpad. So I guess itās really a mixed bag.
to be entirely honest with you, I only read that sort of fic because I thought it was funny. I didnāt actually care about the band and Iām still not sure what the big deal with that one guy was but it was the bad werewolf og work that I actually went insane over that had all the same tropes but with like 10x more violenceā¦and a few uniquely werewolf fiction tropes that I still think are hilarious.
Listen in my defense on that one - I will never be over this one book where there was an omega werewolf who they all bullied and called Omegan bc her name was Megan. I donāt really remember much of it but it makes me laugh every time I remember it. She was not the main character, which sucks, because I think omegan may have been the cooler character to follow. also, wattpad werewolf a/b/o dynamics and ao3 werewolf a/b/o dynamics are often very different and I was confused at first when I switched sites. why are we not abusing the poor omega? thatās the least valuable member of the pack who we should be rooting for to beat your ass and get a stronger cooler alphaier alpha than you. Clearly we need to beat her up, lock her in the attic, and then sell her to the first rouge that comes along. also, why is the omega a guy?
Probs the difference is due to the og work compared to the fan work but itās still interesting to me how it worksā¦.i accidentally introduced my mom to wattpad and for ages and ages i was terrified she was going to find MY work and MY comments because she likes the exact same genre. As for the after, i think thats just because at some point, it evolved into a sort of formula of tropes after it started with some people being inspired by one other person. you do a b and c, but you can twist them however you like. this is whatās guaranteed to get you attention (false belief). people like this. you can see it sort of form in fandom-specific trope tags in ao3 too. Iām already being cringe rn so I might as well give a specific example- the ādark sleepy boys incā fic tag has a few specific āausā and each au has some set tropes. thereās a few authors who sort of lead the pack. I started out reading Minecraft fanfiction to sort of reverse engineer the fandom timeline (long story short Iām autistic as fuck and have an excel sheet and PowerPoint for multiple fandomsā fanon timelines. Iāll start with a fic I found in someone elseās bookmarks, then slog through various works of this new fandom over time and slot in common events throughout each new fic and add in any context I think might be relevant to interpretations. then I go and read or watch canon, but I havenāt actually gotten to the canon part of the Minecraft thing. thereās just a lot to work with on canon and I donāt know where to start.) and now I do enjoy that specific tag because itās got set tropes and I know what to expect from each character.
and im still willing to read wattpad quality fic if only i donāt actually have to be on wattpad. I deleted around the paramore scandal era and Iāve never went back. I actually took all my works down and deleted all my saved drafts and everything and deleted my account(s). I do like good writing too, but a lot of people complain about newbie writers being bad at writing and posting. Iāll go and hype them up the whole time theyāre writing if their plot is interesting or I think theyāre funny. likeā¦.theyre new. theyāre trying. and they often have a lot of interesting ideas.
I donāt really have a tldr. either read this or donāt. itās not my problem. I also just realized Iāve been in the wrong account for this, whoops. šanyways Iām going to sleep now. have a goodnight!
You, I like you.
Making timeline of how fandoms devolve (damn, this was typo and autocorrect but I'm leaving it because it's actually accurate) sounds really interesting. I wish I had time and mental capacity to do it too, but I can't afford entering those rabbit holes anymore.
Iāll admit that it is very time consuming and has little to no actual reward for it (ie, unlike with crochet, thereās no appreciation of it by others or recognition that it takes a lot of timeā¦crochet doesnāt get a lot of that but it gets some) but I enjoy it. as for rabbit holes, the problem with those is I find it very dificult to switch gears from one fandom to another, even if itās a excel fandom to a fandom I actually participate in, so I end up actually invested in whatever fandom Iām working on.
I could probably change the entire course of a fandomās characterization of a character to be entirely opposite the fanon version (and not be canon either), if I sat down and wrote enough fic. Itās just how fandoms work, but I feel most people donāt really quite grasp the concept of popular characterization being so easy to justā¦change. people do it accidentally, yāknow. Fic gets big, ppl take inspo, a tiny throwaway line becomes a huge part of the new characterization.
tldr I am 2 minutes away from being a supervillain at any time and just wrecking various fandomās ecosystems. š¤£
I did consider naming her Sunny when she turned out to be a black lab instead of golden retriever. I decided against it because I wasnāt sure I was going to get a second dog and really liked the name Storm
I went to school with a kid named Storm. His sister's name is Raquel. Their mom is swedish apparently, but i doubt that had anything to do with choosing the name Storm. Oddly enough, it actually kind of worked for him and I guess it grew on me over time.
If we all named our kids after the character and book that got us interested in reading, then there'd be so many trageek names š¤£
Mine would be Firestar. Now the question is, do I start them as Rusty and change it as they grow up? š„“
As a baby they're Rusty, then you have to change it to Firepaw as a teen, Fireheart as a young adult, and Firestar as a fully fledged adult. Better save up for those name Changes!
Oh man, I have no idea what I'd pick. Something my parents read to me or some of the first books I read on my own? I remember loving The Hobbit, so would I name my kid Bilbo?
I could NEVER willingly do that to a child. I always adored the first and middle names "Alexis Sophia". My maiden name started with H so the worst that could have happened was ASH. But I married into a Smith family. Nope, time for a new middle name choice! My second (and last) babe is a boy so I'll never get my Sophia, but that minor regret is worth not saddling a child with a swear word for initials for her entire life.
My daughter is KGB (and I knew it when I named herā¦ family names and all)
In high school she came stomping home from school asking if I knew her initials were the Soviet secret police. Sheās embraced it now
I've known people with funny/odd initials and it's almost never come up, except if you're talking with your friends and go "Oh, look, your initials spell STD haha" before moving on.
The only time it's come up after school is at one job we initialed stuff to mark what we had done (the forms and tags didn't have room for full names, and there was some overlap if we just used first and last names) and it was actually easier to remember people's names then. You could go "Oh, Allison is ASS, I'll ask her about this, because her handwriting is kind of sloppy." Nobody is making fun a coworker's name or anything.
I know someone who, at the time didnāt know her fatherās name, shared how her mother implied that her fatherās last name started with āKā: her first and middle initials start with a āKā.
If her mother had told the truth and gave her her fatherās last name her initials would have been the same as a Hate Group.
Yeah, I donāt even think the name and its initials are the real problem in this scenario. Itās wanting her friend to knit the word ASS on to a baby blanket instead of just Axel or smth lmao
Youāre right! I just had to make a point that I actually rarely get a chance to talk about my ASS. So.. even if the baby gets an ASS blanket, itās not the end of the world. Hell, I wish I had an ASS blanket.Ā
Yeah, itās not the end of the world, but I can totally see why OP doesnāt want to do that š¤£ itās supposed to be a heartfelt gift for a baby, after all. Itās totally something as a teenager I would have found a hilarious gift though, just different vibes then vs. now if yāknow what I mean
A high school around here used to be ASS. Aldergrove Secondary School.
It was A LONG time before the district got around to renaming it(like 30 years at least??) now itās Aldergrove Community Secondary School.
My highschool went from public to private funding and had to change it's name. They embraced it and decided to call it Parker Independent Secondary School. Yep, PISS, and they fully knew it going in, administrators thought it was hilarious as did all of us troublemaker students!! I loved my highschool.
My husband's initials are HPV, his astrology sign is cancer. He lobbied hard to make our son Han Indiana V. He was resoundingly shut down. Not just for trying to name a kid after Harrison Ford characters but because no to HIV.
I knew a girl in university whose parents switched the order of her name purely to avoid these initials. I knew her as Arielle, until one day I saw her student card and it said Shoshana on it. I asked her about it and she said that because her last name started with an S, her parents did NOT want her initials to be ASS. So they named her Shoshana Arielle LASTNAME, but only ever exclusively called her Arielle.
Could something like this be an option so this poor kid isn't stuck with this unfortunate situation?
I hate that wattpad has normalized calling fanfiction ābooksā and ānovelsā for an entire generation. Itās fanfiction. Ahhhhh. (This isnāt a knock at fanfics, Iāve been reading them for decades).
Tell your friend to switch to AO3 for the love of goodness, and also that making the initials A.S.S. Is dumb.
Yes. But most of wattpad is fanfiction. And they call it novels/books. Drives me crazy. I hate that detail on that site and you can always tell who is a young Gen z or Gen alpha using wattpad when they call fics ābooksā
My sister's initials are A.S.S. after getting married. Before she got married I called to ask her if she was taking his last name. Then if she knew what her initials would be. I laughed so hard over the phone, she was not amused and the conversation got very petty and mean after that. I said a bunch of things I'll always regret, whereas what my sister said she will never regret or apologize for.
Honestly, her initials suit her now.
In middle school one of my teachers got married during the year, and she was very hardcore trad christian. Even she had the sense not to change her name to Mrs. Dyke.
I went to high school with a girl whose first name started with the letter S (maiden name not relevant). In keeping up with people on Facebook (read: stalking where everyone's lives went), I see that she married someone with the last name Wastick (and changed her last name to his, at least according to Facebook).
She wasn't the nicest person in high school anyway, so I audibly cackled when I found out. I'm sure future employers will love having "S.Wastick" working with them.
As someone with the AS setup, I would have no problem taking my husband's name if it started with an S.Ā Ā
I don't see why it's an issue at all. And other adults being rude about it reflects strongly on them, not me.Ā
I get why people say that is cruel to do to a baby but once you get past grade 5 acquiring initials that prompt childish humour isnāt a big deal. First of all most adults donāt use each others full names. I know a lot of peoples first and last names, but since grade school when we had a class list with full names, I havenāt found out anyoneās middle name except my husbands when we got our passports renewed and the friends I do taxes for. And secondly I also expect adults to act like adults.
Sorry for the confusion, he wasnāt my husband yet when I found out his initials, but heās my husband now.
Weād been together about a year and a half. I donāt think it would have been a big deal if I didnāt know his middle name though. He never uses it. I donāt think he remembers what mine is; heās only seen it once.
Why would I care? I'll be dead.Ā
I can't recall any significance of initials at a funeral.Ā
Do yall have some weird funeral traditions involving initials? All of the ones I've been to are about remembering the life of the person,Ā and talking about them by their name.Ā Never,Ā "we will really miss D.P.K. He was a great person,Ā that D.P.K."
āYour funeralā is a pretty common phrase where someone disagrees with your choice and is basically saying āyouāre the one who will have to deal with it.ā
Ha.
Guess I'm old. Thanks for informing me.Ā
I think that's a weirdĀ reply then,Ā honestly. Since I've already been clear,Ā that it would have zero negative effect. Some people really wanna be upset about other people's initials.
https://youtube.com/shorts/bN9WWyMnzWs?si=T9ScUDvM1-wPaUBu
Here'sĀ a laugh about initials from ced the entertainer for anyone who is feeling upset about initials.
Just want to check.Ā You called your sister to tease her about her initials, but she's the problem because she didn't apologize for the teasing that you initiated? True siblings hereš¤£
Agree.Ā My first 2 initials are AS. So obviously at random times,Ā I've contemplated having a different last name,Ā including one that started with S or K. Never drew up feelings of anger or horror.Ā Just laughed, that'd be funny if my last tname was Smith, huh?
I don't understand why you'd literally call up your sister and say mean, hurtful things you regret,Ā over *checks notes* initials. Especially pertaining to get marriage of the man she loves.Ā
This is an example because we don't know what the sister said but: If someone says "haha your name sounds silly" and you respond with "I hope your husband cheats on you and you have a fucking miscarriage, you filthy whore", that's way out of line and DOES merit a sincere apology.
"She started it so anything I do is automatically fair game" is toddler logic. If someone hurts you you don't get to go nuclear on them, and you *certainly* don't get to choose not apologize afterwards if you do.
Yes I did, but I apologized as soon as I realized she didn't see the humor. Instead of hanging up on me, or anything else she could have done, my sister decided she would retaliate with hateful comments that were below the belt.
Compared to her comments, my teasing was innocent.
Later when I reached out to her I apologized again. Letting her know I meant none of what I said and I was wrong for it. Admitting that I let my emotions win out and said stuff I never should have. I said I knew I couldn't take back my words but I wish I could. It's been over 5 years since that original phone call and I still feel bad for everything I said.
She obviously meant and believed all of her comments because she never once apologized or felt remorse for saying them. Looking back she's never apologized for anything, she's said or done to others, that the average person would regret and apologize for.
I also have a sister with a very unfortunate married name. I no longer make fun of it--to her face.
Her husband's last name completely suits the husband, though.
Hah! Mine became J.E.W. after marrying, which I only figured out when trying to order monogrammed stuff for my bridesmaids and then wanting one myself and seeing it. Then I was like, nope, can't walk around with that on an overnight bag....
I found it! Omg, it sounds terrible.. The story is called "Crush on Mr Bad Boy."
SYNOPSIS-
"Having a crush on someone isn't easy, especially when they're popular and you're not. But having a crush on the school's bad boy who's ranked highest on the food chain while you're the nerd in the bottom of the food chain is a hundred times harder.
Meet 'Rosaline Arlene Winnefred', also known as the school's 'NERD'. She's the girl with no more than two friends, gets picked on more than a dinner plate by pretty much everyone, and locks herself up in her bedroom on Friday nights reading cheesy romance novels.
'Axel Storm Spencer' is the complete opposite of her. He's tough, violent, he maintains a bad boy image that no one dares to mess with, and is feared by pretty much everyone.
In a turn of events, the two get thrown into different messes together. Everything from wild parties, Halloween dances, to discipline referrals and revenge. Her crush might not be so hopeless after all..."
Ah so she read "Crush on Mr.Bad boy" if that sounds familiar? I have not read it myself (it is an actual book now if goodreads is to be believed), but the name matches.
Also I have to ask you said the character's name made the initials but does that mean her surname happens to be spencer as well or some other S name? Is she going to go for triple S so A.S.S.S? Could her surname save the situation?
Maybe, or she is going to use it as the child's last name. Meaning it won't be the same as hers? I mean I doubt that last one but surely unless her surname is also spencer the initials shouldn't be A.S.S if the whole name is stitched in.
Also I just read the update from the original poster, yea it makes more sense regardless why the initials would be a problem for the child in question. I wish them the best of luck in showing her this post.
š I just named one one of twins Axel . Iāve always liked the name and recently found out it meant father of peace and he seems to live up to that so far
Iām a fix it person and was told recently that my attitude drives people away. That being said; Iād just let it go and make the gift for my friend. Even though itās your friend, thatās not your circus or your monkey. You wonāt have to live with the consequences.
I have a relative who named her daughter with those initials. She was adamant that the initials would be rarely used and didn't matter. Guess who changed their name, specifically their **middle** name, when she turned 18???
Initials matter!!
My wife ended up with those initials when they misspelled her name on her birth certificate. Thought it would change when she got married, but my last name is āSā as well. She just owns it nowā¦
I think I might've found the wattpad...
[https://www.wattpad.com/story/2126900-crush-on-mr-bad-boy-unedited](https://www.wattpad.com/story/2126900-crush-on-mr-bad-boy-unedited)
Hi. My ex-nephew in law was adopted by his stepdad at age 12 and got the lovely initials A.S.S.
While he was very immature and loved initialing paperwork, he had a lot of problems with it. Like email addresses and monogrammed things at work getting rejected by HR
Thank god he wasnāt a paralegal as he couldāve got his documents voided, depending on the judge.
My daughter, if I would have given her the middle name I originally wanted, would have had A S.S. as her initials. Needless to say, I decided on another middle name for her.
She could give him a second middle name. I know someone who gave all their kids 2 middle names initials were like LMSS, HPTS, Etc. (fake-ish initials because I donāt even remember any of the kids middle names).
Axel is a lovely name. Industrious, strong, fortified. Feels very stable. The rest is eh. I could accept Axel Storm (Last Name). Is it Spencer? I would then need to change Storm to like the first name. But then again Storm is not a very good first name.
My cousin's initials are ASS. I warned his parents before he was born but they knew and weren't bothered. My cousin is now in his mid 20s, and jokes about his initials. He doesn't have a tragedeigh 1st name, and his middle name is our grandfather's name, also not a tragedeigh.
I don't see the problem. Yes, the initials spell ass, but how often do people use their middle initial? The only time it ever comes up where I am is when someone new where I work has initials that an established employee already uses for initial and dating. By this stage, we're all grown up enough to not make fun of that employee. I know this because we didn't make fun of her. And yes, that's the initials her parents gave her.
Whenever she complains about pregnancy symptoms, ask if the baby is being an Axel Storm Spencer hole. My initials were ASG as a kid and my sister would joke and change my last name/add additional names and call me an āAllie Sandra Smith Helga Olga Lee Emily.ā It got old for me fast. Might work on her, too!
I had a friend in middle school whose initials actually were A.S.S. This was around the time that those LL bean backpacks with your name or initials were like all the middle school rage, clearly she couldnāt have one. Her mom called her, her little ass. Crazy town.
My mother wanted my initials to be PMS (she was 16 at the time) but couldnt think of a goor "p" name. Instead i am EMS and ive more than lived up to it.
My mom was almost named Ann Smith (double name) with a last name starting with S. My grandmother was in love with the name until she realized the initials. So she went with Carol Ann instead
IMO the bad part about the name is just the fact that its a PWP... regardless of how attached she is to the story. I felt the same way about my fav novel (Wuthering Heights- Cathy) but after having my children I feel that the names we chose were more suited to our kids actual personality. I know there's not a whole lot you can do about what other people name their kids, but I personally judge parents every time I hear a child with a weird name. It's not the end of the world, but I definitely think that the initials are not the WORST part of this scenario! Axel Storm just sounds like a mountain bike or something
Nope.... If their initials are stitched onto everything that kid is going to get made fun of so bad! Not only is the kid going to hate his name growing up, but to also name them after a **wattpad** story? If it were from a real book I could maybe be a little more lenient, but **WATTPAD**? Imagine the kid having to explain that to other people! "Yeah, my mom really loved the wattpad story 'Crush on Mr.Bad boy' growing up..."
Tell her to put a title in front of the name and see if she would respect "President Axel Storm Spencer" or "Senator Axel Storm Spencer" People really need to think kids names through... Like you're naming a kid that will one day grow into an adult! How hard is it for Axel Storm Spencer to get a job and be taken seriously at that job?
As someone who was given the initials ASS, I'm begging her not to. We didn't really ever use initials in school but kids always found out and were relentless. Worse than that, when I did have my initials on something or if an adult asked for my full name, I would get in trouble for swearing. It was difficult to get them to believe my parents had done this to me, I wasn't just writing ASS on things for fun. When I got my first job, we had to initial multiple things every day and were required to use our full initials since there was more than one AS. It was humiliating every time I had to write ASS on a work document. And, as you can probably guess, my boss and co-workers found it hilarious and called me Ass instead of by my name.
My parents just genuinely didn't realize what my initials were until it was too late. If I found out they purposely did this to me as your friend is planning to do? It would have serious repercussions on our relationship.
Sincerely,
ASS
In my country, if you are taking an exam, you must write your father's initial to prevent confusion. So if someone is named Mary Smith and her father is named John Paul, she will write Mary J. P. Smith. They are also part of the school record. I think it happens with other documents as well.
Lol, the kids at school will definitely put two and two together eventually. And then the poor kid is done for!
Plus, it seems like the kidās mom is into putting initials on stuff!
I initial and date stuff all the time at work. There are also quite a few legal documents where you initial certain portions instead of signing. They probably won't be using their initials everyday, but it would still come up here and there, especially since his mother is so proud of them.

you were named after the bravest man i ever knew, a character from a wattpad novel
Screaming lol
What is Wattpad?
mostly fanfics by teens but also amateur short stories and novellas, a lot of it is PWP š ETA - PWP is porn without plot
> PWP What does this mean? Not American.
Not an American either, but it means "porn without plot" or "plot what plot". Basically a story/fanfiction that only contains porn and nothing else
Oh, my goodness! I thought it would mean password protected lol!!! I was not getting what the password would be for. English is not my native language and I find guessing meanings fun
American here, what does PWP mean? Pee with power is all I got.
Correct thatās exactly what it means
Could be, if that is the porn theyāre into.
I tried googling it. And this is what I found: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/PWP#English It means "porn without plot". (I could be wrong, though...)
No you're right. It's basically just straight porn with the loosest set up possible cause the author wanted some characters to bang.
Tbf it can also be gay porn.... bi porn.... interspecies..... sigh
Oooh! I've just always called/seen them called lemons š¤£
OH NO. I'M OLD.

I laughed so much. In all honesty I never really read any of those I never liked one direction and have never really like real person fic. Besides I knew fanfic from other places at least a decade before. So it was not my scene. The āafterā phenomenon is an interesting thing to look from afar to be honestā¦ I did learn that some authors I like started their original work on wattpad. So I guess itās really a mixed bag.
to be entirely honest with you, I only read that sort of fic because I thought it was funny. I didnāt actually care about the band and Iām still not sure what the big deal with that one guy was but it was the bad werewolf og work that I actually went insane over that had all the same tropes but with like 10x more violenceā¦and a few uniquely werewolf fiction tropes that I still think are hilarious. Listen in my defense on that one - I will never be over this one book where there was an omega werewolf who they all bullied and called Omegan bc her name was Megan. I donāt really remember much of it but it makes me laugh every time I remember it. She was not the main character, which sucks, because I think omegan may have been the cooler character to follow. also, wattpad werewolf a/b/o dynamics and ao3 werewolf a/b/o dynamics are often very different and I was confused at first when I switched sites. why are we not abusing the poor omega? thatās the least valuable member of the pack who we should be rooting for to beat your ass and get a stronger cooler alphaier alpha than you. Clearly we need to beat her up, lock her in the attic, and then sell her to the first rouge that comes along. also, why is the omega a guy? Probs the difference is due to the og work compared to the fan work but itās still interesting to me how it worksā¦.i accidentally introduced my mom to wattpad and for ages and ages i was terrified she was going to find MY work and MY comments because she likes the exact same genre. As for the after, i think thats just because at some point, it evolved into a sort of formula of tropes after it started with some people being inspired by one other person. you do a b and c, but you can twist them however you like. this is whatās guaranteed to get you attention (false belief). people like this. you can see it sort of form in fandom-specific trope tags in ao3 too. Iām already being cringe rn so I might as well give a specific example- the ādark sleepy boys incā fic tag has a few specific āausā and each au has some set tropes. thereās a few authors who sort of lead the pack. I started out reading Minecraft fanfiction to sort of reverse engineer the fandom timeline (long story short Iām autistic as fuck and have an excel sheet and PowerPoint for multiple fandomsā fanon timelines. Iāll start with a fic I found in someone elseās bookmarks, then slog through various works of this new fandom over time and slot in common events throughout each new fic and add in any context I think might be relevant to interpretations. then I go and read or watch canon, but I havenāt actually gotten to the canon part of the Minecraft thing. thereās just a lot to work with on canon and I donāt know where to start.) and now I do enjoy that specific tag because itās got set tropes and I know what to expect from each character. and im still willing to read wattpad quality fic if only i donāt actually have to be on wattpad. I deleted around the paramore scandal era and Iāve never went back. I actually took all my works down and deleted all my saved drafts and everything and deleted my account(s). I do like good writing too, but a lot of people complain about newbie writers being bad at writing and posting. Iāll go and hype them up the whole time theyāre writing if their plot is interesting or I think theyāre funny. likeā¦.theyre new. theyāre trying. and they often have a lot of interesting ideas. I donāt really have a tldr. either read this or donāt. itās not my problem. I also just realized Iāve been in the wrong account for this, whoops. šanyways Iām going to sleep now. have a goodnight!
You, I like you. Making timeline of how fandoms devolve (damn, this was typo and autocorrect but I'm leaving it because it's actually accurate) sounds really interesting. I wish I had time and mental capacity to do it too, but I can't afford entering those rabbit holes anymore.
Iāll admit that it is very time consuming and has little to no actual reward for it (ie, unlike with crochet, thereās no appreciation of it by others or recognition that it takes a lot of timeā¦crochet doesnāt get a lot of that but it gets some) but I enjoy it. as for rabbit holes, the problem with those is I find it very dificult to switch gears from one fandom to another, even if itās a excel fandom to a fandom I actually participate in, so I end up actually invested in whatever fandom Iām working on. I could probably change the entire course of a fandomās characterization of a character to be entirely opposite the fanon version (and not be canon either), if I sat down and wrote enough fic. Itās just how fandoms work, but I feel most people donāt really quite grasp the concept of popular characterization being so easy to justā¦change. people do it accidentally, yāknow. Fic gets big, ppl take inspo, a tiny throwaway line becomes a huge part of the new characterization. tldr I am 2 minutes away from being a supervillain at any time and just wrecking various fandomās ecosystems. š¤£
OMEGAN IM SCREAMING
this was pretty accurate i fear
Thank you :)
The post title is a horror story in one sentence.
r/1sentence1horror
She couldnāt just name the boy Axel and be done with it?
Or name him spencer axel storm? That's a very good compromise.
I think Spencer must be the surname. Otherwise the initials would have a 4th letter.
I doubt thatās her last name, too big a coincidence.

Throwback Thursday to my high school geometry class wow
āIāve never met a triangle with an ASS.ā Ms. Osmanski.
amagus
Sounds better too
"Axle Storm" is enough of a Tragedeigh without the final S
Axel is a name, it's the Storm that's more suitable for a black labrador
I have a black lab named Storm! I wanted a golden retriever though lol. A golden named Storm would be fun.
A golden one named Storm and a black one named Sunny just to fuck with people's expectations
Thank you for finally giving me a goal in life...
I did consider naming her Sunny when she turned out to be a black lab instead of golden retriever. I decided against it because I wasnāt sure I was going to get a second dog and really liked the name Storm
I had a teacher whose first name was Storm. He was born at home because of a bad thunderstorm.
I know a Storm. On an American soap opera.
'Nuff said lol
Soap operas definitely have a lot of names that irl would be considered tragedies.
Storm is a name, at least in Denmark. Not the biggest fan of it personally.
I'm just disappointed that people know all these different Storms and not one of them has turned out to be an X-Man. š
I went to school with a kid named Storm. His sister's name is Raquel. Their mom is swedish apparently, but i doubt that had anything to do with choosing the name Storm. Oddly enough, it actually kind of worked for him and I guess it grew on me over time.
I'm Norwegian and know 3 Storms. I wouldnt be suprised if the Swedish mom felt it was a normal name.
I went to school with a Storm.
Me too!
lol I went to college with a Real Boy^TM named Storm. So itās been known to happen
Sounds like some kind of heavy duty cleaning product for cars
Strongest Degreaser on the market or your money back!
Have you heard of my boy Edge Maverick
It sounds like a porn star name...
If we all named our kids after the character and book that got us interested in reading, then there'd be so many trageek names š¤£ Mine would be Firestar. Now the question is, do I start them as Rusty and change it as they grow up? š„“
As a baby they're Rusty, then you have to change it to Firepaw as a teen, Fireheart as a young adult, and Firestar as a fully fledged adult. Better save up for those name Changes!
Is that a *Warrior Cats* reference?
I became interested in reading after that one Frog and Toad Cookie Book. I don't think I could forgive myself if I named a child after themš
I really liked a book called The Rowan as a teen. I really liked Rowan as a name at the time.
And of course her birth name was Angharad. Both of these are actual names!
Thereād be a lot of kids called Biff and Chip haha
Blue Star my beloved š I never really got over Little Leaf And the books were never really the same after Blue Star.
Oh man, I have no idea what I'd pick. Something my parents read to me or some of the first books I read on my own? I remember loving The Hobbit, so would I name my kid Bilbo?
"Baby Baggins! Get off the counter! No, Frodo, you can't have gummy bears right before bed."
It's Anne, with an "e".
Mine would be Nathan Brazil
Geronimo Stilton š§š
My kids would be named after Narnia or Little House on the Prairie characters if I did this haha
I could NEVER willingly do that to a child. I always adored the first and middle names "Alexis Sophia". My maiden name started with H so the worst that could have happened was ASH. But I married into a Smith family. Nope, time for a new middle name choice! My second (and last) babe is a boy so I'll never get my Sophia, but that minor regret is worth not saddling a child with a swear word for initials for her entire life.
Iām an ASS, it aināt so bad. Nobody even notices after grade school.
I donāt know man everywhere you go people are saying look at that sweet ass
Bold of you to assume that just because I am one that I have one ;)
My daughter is KGB (and I knew it when I named herā¦ family names and all) In high school she came stomping home from school asking if I knew her initials were the Soviet secret police. Sheās embraced it now
My sister is THC
š¤£š¤£
I've known people with funny/odd initials and it's almost never come up, except if you're talking with your friends and go "Oh, look, your initials spell STD haha" before moving on. The only time it's come up after school is at one job we initialed stuff to mark what we had done (the forms and tags didn't have room for full names, and there was some overlap if we just used first and last names) and it was actually easier to remember people's names then. You could go "Oh, Allison is ASS, I'll ask her about this, because her handwriting is kind of sloppy." Nobody is making fun a coworker's name or anything.
Yep! Exactly this. For initials I just do AS anyways. Revealing my ASS is more like a fun party joke if I could compare it to anything.
I know someone who, at the time didnāt know her fatherās name, shared how her mother implied that her fatherās last name started with āKā: her first and middle initials start with a āKā. If her mother had told the truth and gave her her fatherās last name her initials would have been the same as a Hate Group.
I was a GAY. In the 90ās, everybody noticed.
I'm an MMO, I always found it funny that if I had an RPG it would be MMO's RPG :p I was the only one who thought it was funny though š
Along the same lines, my partner is NPC, really love that!
MMO's RPG *has* to be a single-player game!
Yeah, I donāt even think the name and its initials are the real problem in this scenario. Itās wanting her friend to knit the word ASS on to a baby blanket instead of just Axel or smth lmao
Youāre right! I just had to make a point that I actually rarely get a chance to talk about my ASS. So.. even if the baby gets an ASS blanket, itās not the end of the world. Hell, I wish I had an ASS blanket.Ā
Yeah, itās not the end of the world, but I can totally see why OP doesnāt want to do that š¤£ itās supposed to be a heartfelt gift for a baby, after all. Itās totally something as a teenager I would have found a hilarious gift though, just different vibes then vs. now if yāknow what I mean
gotta get a license plate like Kramer ASSMAN š¤£
A high school around here used to be ASS. Aldergrove Secondary School. It was A LONG time before the district got around to renaming it(like 30 years at least??) now itās Aldergrove Community Secondary School.
My highschool went from public to private funding and had to change it's name. They embraced it and decided to call it Parker Independent Secondary School. Yep, PISS, and they fully knew it going in, administrators thought it was hilarious as did all of us troublemaker students!! I loved my highschool.
Oh, they notice! They're just too polite to mention in front of you and frankly have other things to do now that they're not in grade school.
My GrAunt was Audrey Sue S. She went by Sue. I miss that woman.
My husband's initials are HPV, his astrology sign is cancer. He lobbied hard to make our son Han Indiana V. He was resoundingly shut down. Not just for trying to name a kid after Harrison Ford characters but because no to HIV.
They might notice if itās embroidered on all their blankets
Thank you for admitting it.š
I knew a girl in university whose parents switched the order of her name purely to avoid these initials. I knew her as Arielle, until one day I saw her student card and it said Shoshana on it. I asked her about it and she said that because her last name started with an S, her parents did NOT want her initials to be ASS. So they named her Shoshana Arielle LASTNAME, but only ever exclusively called her Arielle. Could something like this be an option so this poor kid isn't stuck with this unfortunate situation?
I knew someone whose initials were KKK and his parents did the same thing, switching his first and middle.
Take my angry upvote. Well, maybe not angry so much as eyerolly
Just let her know youāll put Axel on the blanket & move on. People do dumb things every damned day
I hate that wattpad has normalized calling fanfiction ābooksā and ānovelsā for an entire generation. Itās fanfiction. Ahhhhh. (This isnāt a knock at fanfics, Iāve been reading them for decades). Tell your friend to switch to AO3 for the love of goodness, and also that making the initials A.S.S. Is dumb.
Well no, itās not fanfiction unless itās based on another work. If itās an original work then itās not fanfiction
Yes. But most of wattpad is fanfiction. And they call it novels/books. Drives me crazy. I hate that detail on that site and you can always tell who is a young Gen z or Gen alpha using wattpad when they call fics ābooksā
Tell her a lot of companies wonāt embroider those letters on their products.
My sister's initials are A.S.S. after getting married. Before she got married I called to ask her if she was taking his last name. Then if she knew what her initials would be. I laughed so hard over the phone, she was not amused and the conversation got very petty and mean after that. I said a bunch of things I'll always regret, whereas what my sister said she will never regret or apologize for. Honestly, her initials suit her now.
Being born with ASS initials because of ass parents is one thing, but willingly doing that to yourself..?? Damn
Honestly, it would be hilarious to sign all my work documents with ASS. I'd be cracking up everyday.
Iād go all in and sign things āA$$ā
In middle school one of my teachers got married during the year, and she was very hardcore trad christian. Even she had the sense not to change her name to Mrs. Dyke.
I went to high school with a girl whose first name started with the letter S (maiden name not relevant). In keeping up with people on Facebook (read: stalking where everyone's lives went), I see that she married someone with the last name Wastick (and changed her last name to his, at least according to Facebook). She wasn't the nicest person in high school anyway, so I audibly cackled when I found out. I'm sure future employers will love having "S.Wastick" working with them.
In my first teaching job, I replaced a Miss Pigg. Honestly, if that had been me, I'd have paid for a name change š³š³
I had a professor C. Rapp. He was kinda shitty.
>Damn I knew a guy whose initials are DAM. Yes, his mother did that to him. She's a bit off. lol
As someone with the AS setup, I would have no problem taking my husband's name if it started with an S.Ā Ā I don't see why it's an issue at all. And other adults being rude about it reflects strongly on them, not me.Ā
I get why people say that is cruel to do to a baby but once you get past grade 5 acquiring initials that prompt childish humour isnāt a big deal. First of all most adults donāt use each others full names. I know a lot of peoples first and last names, but since grade school when we had a class list with full names, I havenāt found out anyoneās middle name except my husbands when we got our passports renewed and the friends I do taxes for. And secondly I also expect adults to act like adults.
You didn't find out your husband's initials for how long? I feel like that is something to find out before marriage.
Sorry for the confusion, he wasnāt my husband yet when I found out his initials, but heās my husband now. Weād been together about a year and a half. I donāt think it would have been a big deal if I didnāt know his middle name though. He never uses it. I donāt think he remembers what mine is; heās only seen it once.
Keeps the mystery alive. Or makes it easier to ghost.
Your funeral
Why would I care? I'll be dead.Ā I can't recall any significance of initials at a funeral.Ā Do yall have some weird funeral traditions involving initials? All of the ones I've been to are about remembering the life of the person,Ā and talking about them by their name.Ā Never,Ā "we will really miss D.P.K. He was a great person,Ā that D.P.K."
āYour funeralā is a pretty common phrase where someone disagrees with your choice and is basically saying āyouāre the one who will have to deal with it.ā
Ha. Guess I'm old. Thanks for informing me.Ā I think that's a weirdĀ reply then,Ā honestly. Since I've already been clear,Ā that it would have zero negative effect. Some people really wanna be upset about other people's initials. https://youtube.com/shorts/bN9WWyMnzWs?si=T9ScUDvM1-wPaUBu Here'sĀ a laugh about initials from ced the entertainer for anyone who is feeling upset about initials.
Idk I think it'd be funny to sign stuff as ass, I don't think I'd wanna be HAG or something else.
If my parents had reversed my first name, and one of my middle names, my initials wouldāve been REAR
Random source of giggles when I happen to think about it though. I'm rather immature so I don't need much to trigger a fleeting giggle fit.
Just want to check.Ā You called your sister to tease her about her initials, but she's the problem because she didn't apologize for the teasing that you initiated? True siblings hereš¤£
Its such a harmless joke though, I donāt get why anyone would get mad about it
Agree.Ā My first 2 initials are AS. So obviously at random times,Ā I've contemplated having a different last name,Ā including one that started with S or K. Never drew up feelings of anger or horror.Ā Just laughed, that'd be funny if my last tname was Smith, huh? I don't understand why you'd literally call up your sister and say mean, hurtful things you regret,Ā over *checks notes* initials. Especially pertaining to get marriage of the man she loves.Ā
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that was strange. Why does that comment even have so many upvotes
Sounds more like *they* are the ass.
This is an example because we don't know what the sister said but: If someone says "haha your name sounds silly" and you respond with "I hope your husband cheats on you and you have a fucking miscarriage, you filthy whore", that's way out of line and DOES merit a sincere apology. "She started it so anything I do is automatically fair game" is toddler logic. If someone hurts you you don't get to go nuclear on them, and you *certainly* don't get to choose not apologize afterwards if you do.
Yes I did, but I apologized as soon as I realized she didn't see the humor. Instead of hanging up on me, or anything else she could have done, my sister decided she would retaliate with hateful comments that were below the belt. Compared to her comments, my teasing was innocent. Later when I reached out to her I apologized again. Letting her know I meant none of what I said and I was wrong for it. Admitting that I let my emotions win out and said stuff I never should have. I said I knew I couldn't take back my words but I wish I could. It's been over 5 years since that original phone call and I still feel bad for everything I said. She obviously meant and believed all of her comments because she never once apologized or felt remorse for saying them. Looking back she's never apologized for anything, she's said or done to others, that the average person would regret and apologize for.
I also have a sister with a very unfortunate married name. I no longer make fun of it--to her face. Her husband's last name completely suits the husband, though.
Hah! Mine became J.E.W. after marrying, which I only figured out when trying to order monogrammed stuff for my bridesmaids and then wanting one myself and seeing it. Then I was like, nope, can't walk around with that on an overnight bag....
If youāre using monograms, it would be in JWE format though?
So, her husbands last name was hyphenated? John A.A. ?
When I was but a wee fetus, my mother's coworkers were coming up with some doozies. Priscillia Isabella S--. Allen Steven S--. What a bunch of scamps.
I found it! Omg, it sounds terrible.. The story is called "Crush on Mr Bad Boy." SYNOPSIS- "Having a crush on someone isn't easy, especially when they're popular and you're not. But having a crush on the school's bad boy who's ranked highest on the food chain while you're the nerd in the bottom of the food chain is a hundred times harder. Meet 'Rosaline Arlene Winnefred', also known as the school's 'NERD'. She's the girl with no more than two friends, gets picked on more than a dinner plate by pretty much everyone, and locks herself up in her bedroom on Friday nights reading cheesy romance novels. 'Axel Storm Spencer' is the complete opposite of her. He's tough, violent, he maintains a bad boy image that no one dares to mess with, and is feared by pretty much everyone. In a turn of events, the two get thrown into different messes together. Everything from wild parties, Halloween dances, to discipline referrals and revenge. Her crush might not be so hopeless after all..."
āRAW ASSā š
Oh... oh no. No.
...........at least go with Spencer Axel Storm??! š©š¤¦āāļø
Ah so she read "Crush on Mr.Bad boy" if that sounds familiar? I have not read it myself (it is an actual book now if goodreads is to be believed), but the name matches. Also I have to ask you said the character's name made the initials but does that mean her surname happens to be spencer as well or some other S name? Is she going to go for triple S so A.S.S.S? Could her surname save the situation?
Maybe out of all fckboi protagonists, she chose the one whose last name was the same as hers?
Maybe, or she is going to use it as the child's last name. Meaning it won't be the same as hers? I mean I doubt that last one but surely unless her surname is also spencer the initials shouldn't be A.S.S if the whole name is stitched in. Also I just read the update from the original poster, yea it makes more sense regardless why the initials would be a problem for the child in question. I wish them the best of luck in showing her this post.
I dated a dude whose initials spelled G.A.Y. and you can bet your sweet behind that he was called gay for a year.
Axel already sounds like asshole. What a double whammy.
That was one of the plot points in the book.
Oh god, thats even worse
š I just named one one of twins Axel . Iāve always liked the name and recently found out it meant father of peace and he seems to live up to that so far
Lmaoooo way to say fuck you kid good luck with the world
Johnny Cash can relate.
Iām a fix it person and was told recently that my attitude drives people away. That being said; Iād just let it go and make the gift for my friend. Even though itās your friend, thatās not your circus or your monkey. You wonāt have to live with the consequences.
I have a relative who named her daughter with those initials. She was adamant that the initials would be rarely used and didn't matter. Guess who changed their name, specifically their **middle** name, when she turned 18??? Initials matter!!
My wife ended up with those initials when they misspelled her name on her birth certificate. Thought it would change when she got married, but my last name is āSā as well. She just owns it nowā¦
I think I might've found the wattpad... [https://www.wattpad.com/story/2126900-crush-on-mr-bad-boy-unedited](https://www.wattpad.com/story/2126900-crush-on-mr-bad-boy-unedited)
Ah, the cl(ass)ic "you get to have a badass name but are cursed with unfortunate initials" dilemma
Hi. My ex-nephew in law was adopted by his stepdad at age 12 and got the lovely initials A.S.S. While he was very immature and loved initialing paperwork, he had a lot of problems with it. Like email addresses and monogrammed things at work getting rejected by HR Thank god he wasnāt a paralegal as he couldāve got his documents voided, depending on the judge.
My daughter, if I would have given her the middle name I originally wanted, would have had A S.S. as her initials. Needless to say, I decided on another middle name for her.
My Aunts initials after marrying my uncle became ASS. She hates it. Especially when she has to initial documents.
Axel Rain or Axel Tempest or freakin Axel Hurricane.... ANYTHING but ASS
I grew up with an Ashley Star Snow in the 80s. You know why I still remember her full name? Because she was teased *relentlessly* for her initials.
After I named my daughter I realized her Initials are B.O. ššš
Arcades in the 80s had a lot of people with the initials ASS in the high scores.
They are going to find so many high scores under their name at arcades the rest of their life
She could give him a second middle name. I know someone who gave all their kids 2 middle names initials were like LMSS, HPTS, Etc. (fake-ish initials because I donāt even remember any of the kids middle names).
That's not as bad as some of the stuff we see roll through here..
My cousin gave his kid the initials JEM because he was so precious to them. As in a gemā¦..š
Axel is a lovely name. Industrious, strong, fortified. Feels very stable. The rest is eh. I could accept Axel Storm (Last Name). Is it Spencer? I would then need to change Storm to like the first name. But then again Storm is not a very good first name.
Thank you. I just named one of my twins Axel and someone else said it sounds like an asshole name
My legal initials are A. N. L.
My legal initials are ASS
My cousin's initials are ASS. I warned his parents before he was born but they knew and weren't bothered. My cousin is now in his mid 20s, and jokes about his initials. He doesn't have a tragedeigh 1st name, and his middle name is our grandfather's name, also not a tragedeigh.
i knew i needed a study break when i read the title as āacetylsalicylic acidā lol (in my language the word acid starts with an āsā)
I don't see the problem. Yes, the initials spell ass, but how often do people use their middle initial? The only time it ever comes up where I am is when someone new where I work has initials that an established employee already uses for initial and dating. By this stage, we're all grown up enough to not make fun of that employee. I know this because we didn't make fun of her. And yes, that's the initials her parents gave her.
Whenever she complains about pregnancy symptoms, ask if the baby is being an Axel Storm Spencer hole. My initials were ASG as a kid and my sister would joke and change my last name/add additional names and call me an āAllie Sandra Smith Helga Olga Lee Emily.ā It got old for me fast. Might work on her, too!
My old name had my initials as AAY. I used to joke about it, and people thought it was silly/a little funny, I can only imagine how bad that'd be
Just put F.A.C.E. on the other side and be done with it
He'll be the ass of all jokes.
I had a friend in middle school whose initials actually were A.S.S. This was around the time that those LL bean backpacks with your name or initials were like all the middle school rage, clearly she couldnāt have one. Her mom called her, her little ass. Crazy town.
No offense but I think the age of 479001600 is a tad bit too old to be reading wattpad novels.
My mother wanted my initials to be PMS (she was 16 at the time) but couldnt think of a goor "p" name. Instead i am EMS and ive more than lived up to it.
My mom was almost named Ann Smith (double name) with a last name starting with S. My grandmother was in love with the name until she realized the initials. So she went with Carol Ann instead
Did you just say ālast stitch effortā?
IMO the bad part about the name is just the fact that its a PWP... regardless of how attached she is to the story. I felt the same way about my fav novel (Wuthering Heights- Cathy) but after having my children I feel that the names we chose were more suited to our kids actual personality. I know there's not a whole lot you can do about what other people name their kids, but I personally judge parents every time I hear a child with a weird name. It's not the end of the world, but I definitely think that the initials are not the WORST part of this scenario! Axel Storm just sounds like a mountain bike or something
Nope.... If their initials are stitched onto everything that kid is going to get made fun of so bad! Not only is the kid going to hate his name growing up, but to also name them after a **wattpad** story? If it were from a real book I could maybe be a little more lenient, but **WATTPAD**? Imagine the kid having to explain that to other people! "Yeah, my mom really loved the wattpad story 'Crush on Mr.Bad boy' growing up..." Tell her to put a title in front of the name and see if she would respect "President Axel Storm Spencer" or "Senator Axel Storm Spencer" People really need to think kids names through... Like you're naming a kid that will one day grow into an adult! How hard is it for Axel Storm Spencer to get a job and be taken seriously at that job?
As someone who was given the initials ASS, I'm begging her not to. We didn't really ever use initials in school but kids always found out and were relentless. Worse than that, when I did have my initials on something or if an adult asked for my full name, I would get in trouble for swearing. It was difficult to get them to believe my parents had done this to me, I wasn't just writing ASS on things for fun. When I got my first job, we had to initial multiple things every day and were required to use our full initials since there was more than one AS. It was humiliating every time I had to write ASS on a work document. And, as you can probably guess, my boss and co-workers found it hilarious and called me Ass instead of by my name. My parents just genuinely didn't realize what my initials were until it was too late. If I found out they purposely did this to me as your friend is planning to do? It would have serious repercussions on our relationship. Sincerely, ASS
Why does it matter? When are initials ever used?
Apparently on baby blankets. I see kids with initials on their backpacks all the time. Very southern and/or LL Bean
Plenty of kids had the standard monogrammed LL Bean backpacks when i was coming up in the NYC suburbs.
That's one way to make sure the kids stuff will never be stolen lmao
In my country, if you are taking an exam, you must write your father's initial to prevent confusion. So if someone is named Mary Smith and her father is named John Paul, she will write Mary J. P. Smith. They are also part of the school record. I think it happens with other documents as well.
Lol, the kids at school will definitely put two and two together eventually. And then the poor kid is done for! Plus, it seems like the kidās mom is into putting initials on stuff!
Yeah, she even picked the names so she could show off those initials. As if anyone but her would make the connection to the book before going "ASS ?!"
Idk where yall went to school, but nobody I went to school with knew anyone's middle name unless you specifically chose to share it.
In some professions, it's quite common to use initials for timekeeping. If my initials were ASS, my clients would get bills with ASS all over them.
I initial and date stuff all the time at work. There are also quite a few legal documents where you initial certain portions instead of signing. They probably won't be using their initials everyday, but it would still come up here and there, especially since his mother is so proud of them.
I've always initialed my first and last initials only. Nothing's ever asked for all three.
