Acronyms and Initials
M. and I were just discussing acronyms that have the same letters as people's initials (as you know, he's thinking of changing his surname). I found a cool acronym website here which you can type your initials into and see what acronyms it comes up with (this might be an advantage as far as determining whether new babies etc are going to get picked on because of an unfortunate acronym similarity).
I rather naively didn't expect to have any for my initials, but I got the following list:
CLV C'est La Vie (French: That's Life)
CLV Carnation Latent Virus
CLV Ceiling Limit Value (highest acceptable average content in inhaled air during 15 minutes)
CLV Centro Liturgico Vincenziano (Italian: Vincentian Liturgical Centre)
CLV Clave
CLV Code\Length\Value
CLV Compact Low-Voltage
CLV Composite Lab Value
CLV Constant Linear Velocity
CLV Crew Launch Vehicle
CLV Customer Lifetime Value (marketing)
I also have the added advantage of being a roman numeral - clv - being five more than one hundred and fifty. Go me! :)
(But wtf is Carnation Latent Virus?!)

(But wtf is Carnation Latent Virus?!)
Funnily enough it is a virus common to carnations. - I just popped it into Google and got all these technical biology sites. Not really interesting though.
My favourites for mine- and there were loads were Authorized Consumption List, Automatic Clutter Mapping, Average Contaminant Level and Asynchronous Connection-less Link (Bluetooth)
Baby girl only got a few: JAL JACK Agent Language
JAL Jalisco (Mexican state)
JAL Japan Airlines Company, Ltd.
JAL Jet Approach Landing
JAL Jump And Link
and if you put in all Techno's initials (CTHL), you dont get a single one!

Re: Carnation Latent Virus - I should've guessed, huh.
But I was clinging to this awesome mental image of a dude who has a virus dormant in his blood that, if it ever gets activated (maybe because he encounters a radioactive spill, comic book style), will turn his head into a carnation in an explosion of petals and gooey bits!

LOL about the guy with the carnation head.
And yes, his initials are CTHL :)
Opps silly Mozilla, automatically signed me in as Techno......hmmmm the possibilities.....
