Rounding out the Embarrassing Names Sisters (the others being Embarrassing First Name, Embarrassing Middle Name, Embarrassing Last Name, and Embarrassing Nickname) is Embarrassing Initials—when this common method of abbreviating a name spells out something, well, embarrassing. Also a Sister Trope to Fun with Acronyms. Sub-Trope of Unfortunate Names. Compare Shoehorned Acronym when the acronym itself is awkward. |

The Black Sheep Dog Series occasionally lampshades the rather unfortunate initials of Sirius's full name, Sirius Orion Black. Lucretia calls him "Sob" because of this, to Sirius's annoyance, and Remus's amusement. | |

In The City Who Fought, Channa Hap's surname comes from the place where she was born, the Hawking Alpha Proxima Station. She's completely fine with 'Hap', but her new partner Simeon, disgruntled by her high standards and serious demeanor, immediately considers ironic nicknames based on it, like "Happy". | |

In Season 10 of My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic, The name Beaker gives his anti-Starfleet group is the "Industry Dedicated In Overthrowing and Terminating Starfleet". Beaker only realises that the acronym spells out IDIOTS once the other members point it out to him, but he refuses to change it because he already had merchandise made. | |

The group of Animal Superheroes that oppose those scientists is called O.W.C.A., which no one finds embarrassing, just disappointing.

In the final CSI episode, Grissom takes notice of D.B.'s initials when they're Introduced. DB is CSI shorthand for dead body. | |

Blanche Elizabeth Hollingsworth from The Golden Girls got these after she got married and became Blanche Elizabeth Devoreaux. Her initials became more appropriate after her husband died and she started playing the field. Lampshaded in one episode. | |

Accepted: The rejected students (who live in Harmon) created their own college, and Bartleby Gaines gave it the "ideal" name for it: South Harmon Institute of Technology. This was immediately lampshaded by his friends, of course. | |

In ''Curtailed, one of Mandy's bosses suggests calling a financial app the ""Carry-Over "Calculation Kit," which gives Mandy the giggles. She then suggests the boss tries to abbreviate it, whereupon he realizes what the abbreviation spells. In the comments on the comic, she says "Who knew having a twelve-year-old's sense of humor could be a legit business skill?" | |
