All boring initials here.. JRL. Although, my last name.. Lough.. people always pronounce (wrongly) as "Low"... so I often in school for attendance, they would call out "J. Lo" :rolleyes:

My cousins first/middle name is Wyatt Orne... his initials are WOW.. sounds awesome, unless you think of the video game :p

I always thought it was pronounced like the country of Lao. As in, it rhymed with "how".
I was pronouncing it rhyming with cough, like "Loff."
If I was wrong I'm not going to be able to get the wrong pronunciation out of my head. :rolleyes: :p

bahahaha, ya'll are WRONG :p No hard feelings.... I guess ;) Throughout my life people have always pronounced it as either Low or Loff, but the correct English pronunciation is like Law. I believe the original pronunciation is sort of like Lock (it is Irish for lake)

JPW . . . boring, except that several generations of women in my family have been JPW or JWP, which means all the monograms work :lol-sign:

NOOOOOOOO! It will always be "Loff" in my head and I'll correct myself but I will never get it right and it will drive me nuts. :mad: :eek:

I vote for banning Jess. My mind can't handle seeing her post anymore.
