So* a friend of mine's initials are LLL... and she's got a sister whose initials are also LLL.
Today while sorting through some customer orders I came across another woman whose initials are also LLL.
So, randomly thinking about initials and alliteration... maybe it's just because LLL is a really good friend and so I'm more likely to notice that sort of thing... but I can't remember ever meeting anyone with a different letter for all their initials. At least, no one who wasn't ashamed to admit it. Never met a BBB or a GGG or an MMM...
And thanks to the associations that go with them, I'll be very surprised if I ever DO meet an AAA, KKK, WWW, XXX, or ZZZ.
Soooo... anyone know any non-LLL alliteratives?

My husband is a WWW.
Oh, and a friend of my daughter's is an EEE. Her first name is Elizabeth and there is another Elizabeth on the gymnastics team so they call her Triple E.

I think I knew an AAA in elementary school. He was at least an AA, but I'm pretty sure he had an A middle name, too.

I know a KKK, it's not really much fun though, considering the potential link with the supremisists.

Back in the 60's, Vice President and Pres. candidate Hubert H. Humphrey was known to headline writers as "HHH".

Princesska says her grandmother is an EEE.

I had a great-grandfather on one side who was LLL and a grandfather on the other (or was that great-grandfather, also?) who was an HHH.

What are Lex Luthor, Lois Lane, and Lana Lang's middle names?

I knew a GGG in middle school. I don't remember her middle name, but her first was Georgina and her last was Gusman.

I know a Brian O'Brien in high school.
Slightly off topic, but still bizarre.

I had a friend who named all of her children AAAs.
Posted by Coccinelle (Member # 5832) on :
Also off topic, my sister's initials spell DAD.
It's always amused me.

I went to school with a John Johnson, which always seemed a little weird. Don't know what his middle name was though.

My brother's initials are one letter off from a swear. He picked a different confirmation name than we suggested, though.

Concille, so are mine.
And my younger brothers are MAD.

I used to work with a woman named Carol Caroll, but only because she married into the Caroll name.

Some friends of mine here in Phoenix have four children. The first three have the initials MMM (And the last is named for Grandparents, haven't asked about the logic behind the switch at number 4).
Posted by Lisa (Member # 8384) on :
I'm an LL, but my middle name is Beth.
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
Not EL-lizabeth?
Posted by Lisa (Member # 8384) on :
<grin> A friend of mine used to call me Elizabeth Elizabeth, since both Lisa and Beth can be nicknames for Elizabeth.

My Dad and all of his brothers have an E as their middle initial and so do all of their children (my brothers and cousins). Except me. I've got the E as my first initial.
Posted by maui babe (Member # 1894) on :
My sister named all 4 of her sons so that their initials spelled out a 3 letter mans name(DAN, RON, BEN, JON) I think they did that because her husband's initials spelled MEN.
I knew a girl in high school whose name was Terry Berry, and I had a baby sitter when I was small whose name was Terry Terry.
Posted by HollowEarth (Member # 2586) on :
Are their names actually Dan, Ron, Ben and Jon? I have to say that would be pretty awesome.
Posted by Lisa (Member # 8384) on :
I knew a guy in Israel who actually gave his 3 sons the middle names Danger, Adventure and Honesty. No joke.

The subject of much debate, actually.
I know Perry White's middle name (Jerome) and Jimmy Olsen's (Bartholomew) -- does that help? Posted by maui babe (Member # 1894) on :

No, they aren't but that would have been clever.

A friend of mine has a daughter named Kaia, and her name does this -- her full name is Kaia A____ I________ A______ . Neat!

It should have been "Crimefighting" instead. So she could say "Crimefighting is my middle name."

I knew a lady named Honey Crumbb. Very yummy name.
Also, everyone in my family has MM as the last two initials in their name (me included). Unfortunately, no first name of M's. Though my dad does go by Mark. But that's his middle name.
Ok, I'm done now.

I always found my mother's middle initials SS as being a little odd, but she was an LSSC, not a SSSS, which would have been very weird.

My grandpa(on my mom's side) is James Jordan. His children are Jayna Jordan, John Jordan, and Jenny Jordan(before my mom and my aunt Jenny got married, and changed their names).
My initials are ELF. Since my best friend has the same first name as I do, everyone calls me Elf to avoid confusion. And also to make fun of the fact that I'm short.

My full set of initials spell out ELALS, but when I inital things, I do it "els".
