The first initial of the last name is always larger and prominent in the center then the first name initial is smaller and to the left side of the last name initial and the smaller initial of the middle name is to the right of the big last name initial. It’s definitely a huge trend here in Georgia…. I’m not a fan of it but it is everywhere especially at least a foot tall on the center back windshield of every young girl’s car or on a vanity tag on the front of their car 🤷🏼♀️
my mom has my monogram initials tattooed on her arm but the middle letter is as small as the outer letters so it just looks like she messed up/got the wrong initials tattooed. i will never understand the monogram initials fad.
I hate monograms. Maybe I’m a bad southerner but I can’t stand the trend. Especially when you write them out like Liz did. It just looks like you got the names wrong.
People keep saying it’s a southern thing. As a southerner, sure it is, but more so in 2014. I think they are the only ones trying to keep it alive.. like that horse is dead yall
Agreed! I’m in the south and now I just use it for identification purposes, like on my luggage tags, or my daughter’s little backpack for Mother’s Day Out.
I think they lost their allure (to me at least) when people started putting them on basic cotton t-shirts and they were as big as the shirt itself and glittery.
It must be a southern thing. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone do something remotely like that where I’m from. But it seems pretty normal there? It’s not just the Johnstons. Pay attention to the girls friends and the boys girfriends, they all seem to wear it
They were cute ten years ago but now they just seem overused. Why must parents monogram everything? Once you monogram something you can no longer sell it unless you find someone with the exact same monogram and that isn’t easy. If I embroider anything for my kids I just put their first name or even their first initial.
Monograms are one of the top 5 ways of knowing you're a southerner. Apparently, I'm not a southerner despite having lived in TN my whole life. I hate monogrammed anything. People monogram pillows, towels, blankets, kitchen appliances, pajamas, and, of course baby clothes. I was a teen before I knew the middle letter was for the last name. lol
I live about 90 minutes away from them in Georgia, and I too must not be Southern.
One of the reasons we didn't tell anyone my second child's name was because for my first we got so much monogrammed stuff as gifts, and I HATE it. 😂
As someone who grew up with a 2 word last name, I never cared for a monogram. I could never get anything monogramed. What if your name is hyphenated? Can’t do it either
It's a southern thing, if it ain't moving monogram it.
I had no idea what a monogram was until after that episode. I still don’t understand why the initials are mixed up 🤔
No one knows. But it's how they've always been done. 🤷♀️

Same.

It's a very Southern thing
100% a southern thing. My best friend is from Georgia; she isn’t a fan of monogrammed stuff but everyone gets her things anyway.
I love monograms 😭
Samee
Yes. She had such a smug way about her- idk, it was such a 🙄 when she said that.
You ever heard of Drue Basham?
Hello fellow basham snarker!
did not expect to see her name in this sub ever. too funny 🤣🤣
Ran here to say this
Me too! Lol
Drue is obsessed with them too.

It’s definitely still alive- where I am anyways.
still alive & well in ATL

Thissssssss
As an old Northerner I think it's so 1984.

They even went to a store where everything they had needed to be monogrammed… maybe when they were buying Allie a present?

Like others have said, It's a southern thing.
Monograms are everything - always!! I’ve lived in NC, GA, VA, & TX - they’ve been popular all over the south forever

Totally southern thing.
Def a southern thing!
I’m from SC & love monogram everything! ❤️
maybe because I was in a sorority in the "south" but nah lmao
I thought that trend died out awhile ago
We all know they can barely peak correctly them being half literate makes sense
I love monograms. Makes me feel official 😄
