Is RAC a bust?

No, it shouldn't. River Alise is beautiful, I wouldn't let that deter me.

It would concern me immensely, sorry. I, too, am large-breasted (way more than you, bahaha), and while I don't mind making the occasional breast joke self-deprecatingly, I absolutely hate when others make them toward me. For the most part, I'm very self-conscious about my boobs and I don't even let my family make jokes about them in private, much less public. If I had the initials RAC I would be positively mortified, sorry. Of course all women react differently, but if I had to go through puberty with the RAC jokes, even if I didn't get my mom's big boobs, I would think it would be awful. What about River Elise Chevalier? It gets rid of the RAC initials, but is essentially the same name (unless Alise is more Alice than Elise?).

Good luck!

lol, i do see your point Ash. It's just in my experience other people hardly ever put initials together like that. I have a friend whose initials spell HAM, and she had never noticed until I pointed it out (oops). I think I only caught on because I am a name nerd, so I notice things like that, I just don't think most people will.

Yeah, I tend to be a bit concerned about initials, too. My last name also starts with a C and it can really mess things up! However, it worked out with our son, who's initials are JAC.

[pansy]

I agree with Ash. I would change it to River Elise just in case. In high school, our sports bags had our initials on them and we had one girl whose initials were PMS. It was pretty tragic. RAC isn't as bad but if you're daughter is destined to be busty, I would try to avoid any potential boob related nicknames if possible.

I suppose that I didn't really need to include my bra size

That actually made me laugh because I am the exact same size and I feel your pain and I can see your trepidation. When you're large chested, things like RAC tend to stand out to you a bit more. >_<

I think if you love the name, you should use it. It has a lot of meaning to you.

Lol. It wouldn't be an issue for me - at least not like TIT would! But then, I'm not very busty. If it makes you uncomfortable, by all means change the middle.

I had to re-read the topic a few times to even get the reference. No one will notice or care. Her middle name is never used unless on official documents anyways.

How many people are really going to make that connection?
