If I buy a cosmetic case, I'd like to hot stamp one initial -- should I do my first name "C" for Carolyn or my last name "P"??

If I hot stamp in the inside of a Koala wallet, should I do "CP" or "CAP" ??

Thanks!
 
Will "P" always be your last name? Are you married or single? Or will keep your maiden name as your last name regardless of martial status?

As for including your middle intial, do you usually include it when you have to sign or initial something? (I always use my three initials "AGR" because my middle name is actually my maiden name. So in my mind AGR is me, not AR. Know what I mean?)

Not expecting you to answer here, just questions for you to help you decide.

Hope that helps!:biggrin:
 
Thanks all! I kinda like the "C" vs. the "P" so will do that.

Married name is "P" and it should stay that way! LOL

I think I'll go with CAP -- mainly because I do sign things that way, plus my hubby's nickname is "Cappy" or "Cap" and it's always been kinda fun my initials became his name when I married him.

I guess I've always thought as a monogram as 3 letters, although to me, the middle letter should be the last name -- like CPA but because it sounds like I'm a CPA, I don't ever do it that way.

Decisions, decisions!
 
i just got mine done, and i just did 'K'...it'll always be my first name!
