Call you dc a name starting with O if your surname starts with a D??

DH and I have finally agreed on a first name, but are concerned that OD might be the beginning of the teasing at school 'the odd child?'

Or are we over analysising this waaaay tooo much?

I don't really see a problem with those initials myself.

Overanalysing

Will you use a middle name? Even if not, or the school only uses 2 initials, I still don't think it would be a problem.

middle name would be J - so OJD.

We didn't do an O name as we would have had an OD.

and as DH is a paramedic and I work with drug users we use it all the time as an expression!

so no I dont think you are over analysing!

Unless you have a similar situation to Nooki, then you are over analysing!
