I got 16 matches for SND. Some that were appropriate or amusing: SND San Diego Imperial Corporation (former stock symbol; now delisted) a local link! _ **SND Sanitary Napkin Disposal** _ :eek: SND ScoutNet Deutschland - appropriate given my handle SND Serpent Night Dragon (gaming) - sort of appropriate if you know my last name SND Sinus Node Dysfunction - sounds…painful SND Statens Nærings og Distriktutviklingsfond - who shot who in the what now? **ShibbOleth** , since you’ve cracked the case of Greg’s Mysterious Middle Name, I just want to wish you well in the afterlife. It’s been nice knowing you. ---

When I got married this year, my husband and I joked about my new initials. He claims they’re quite fitting WMD: Weapons of Mass Distruction. For the record, I’ve never been to Iraq. 😃 ---

WCW WCW - My sucky father’s initials :mad: (and I’m the daughter! :eek: ) and, the obvious… WCW - World Championship Wrestling, SUCKA!!! OH YEAH!!! I almost never want to get married, just so I can keep this cooler than cool moniker. Maybe I’ll just have to find the man of my dreams, whose last name begins with a “W.” 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-do-your-initials-stand-for/269346.md?page=3)
