Is it ok to have an initial as a middle name?

Question

What I meant by "ok" is, is it legal to have an initial as a middle name

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

Sure, if you want. I know people who have initials for their first names like J.C. or D.J. etc

Answer 3

I don't like the idea. What's wrong with just giving the kid a middle name?!

Answer 4

What do you mean is it "ok"? Yes it's acceptable..you can do it.

Answer 5

absolutely! course it's usually a nickname for something...but i actually have two great uncles that have an inital for a first AND middle name.

lol my great-grand parents had 13 kids....they kinda ran out of names. thus A.J and O.V. were named.

i thought for years that my great uncle O.V. was named Ovie. lol maybe short of Overton or something, but it's just plain 'ol O.V.

many ppl use their middle name as just an initial...i do. i just use K. instead of the whole name. i dont think it would be bad to just use an initial. these days you are rarely asked to spell out your full middle name. they ususally ask for an initial...so make it a cool one. one that sounds really nice w/the first name.

Answer 6

yahh i know a kid who has an initial as "P"

Answer 7

It's ok to have it.

What do you mean?

Is it legal/acceptable?

Yeah!

Answer 8

Yeah.  Harry S Truman did.  No middle name per se, just the s.  Of course I think it's up to the person.  So ask the child that you name in thirty years how it all ended up.

Answer 9

You can, but why bother?

Answer 10

your allowed but if you think its ok then. . . .  

Answer 11

I'm sure it is.

My cousin doesn't even have a middle name, so i'm sure one letter is acceptable by law.

Answer 12

Yeah it's legal, my husband's mom's middle name was "Z" but she changed it when she got married.

Answer 13

I've always preferred a full middle name, but initials are acceptable.  It worked for Harry S. Truman.  That S. didn't stand for anything.

Answer 14

It's acceptable. The producer David O. Selznick had no middle name and invented the O himself. I were going to name a child I would give him/her a middle name. Some people prefer their middle names and go by them. They also might wonder why they have one name and everyone else has two.

Answer 15

Yes that is defenitely awesome.

Answer 16

i guess

Answer 17

Yeah, I think that it is ok, I would prefer an entire name, but initials are fine too!

Hope I helped! :-)

Answer 18

sure. my cousins middle name is "k". but she spells is "kay", so its not really an initial

Answer 19

Sure.  Harry S Truman, just the letter S; Johnny Cash was originally J R Cash (just the letters)

Actually most ppl only know the initial anyway
