Initial embarrassment

12:21pm Wednesday 11th July 2012 in Letters By Reader's letter

I was interested to read Sue Nelson’s column (Such a shame about the name, July 9). I have come across some unfortunate names.

Parents need to consider the initials too. I have come across men with initials WC and VD.

A couple I knew with the surname Aires gave their son the initials SW.

I am sure it would make boys think of swears when he goes to school. Problems arise sometimes when girls marry.

I met a May whose married surname was Day.

Fortunately, I was able to do needlework.

Sarah E Wharhirst (SEW), West Bank, York.

At the carriageworks there was a guy call I P Quick & another called G R Aveyard, but by far the most hilarious I have ever heard is P Hepworth.
