There was a girl in my school whose initial was S aand her surname was Hagger.
I knew a bloke whose initials were NBG. Happily he and his schoolmates were too young to know what it stood for.
I had an acquaintance some years ago whose surname was Allgood. His parents had seen fit to christen him Fred.
