Traditionally, a monogram reads First Name Initial, Last Name Initial, Middle Name or Maiden Name Initial. With the Last Name Initial being the larger Middle Initial. For example, if you had the name Kelsie Elizabeth Vogds, her monogram would read KVE.

2 Answers. The short answer is that any name and any initial are capitalised. Also, there must be a space between any name and any initial, and some people use a full stop/period after any initial(s).

A person's initials are a kind of abbreviation, and these are usually followed by full stops: John D. Rockefeller, C. Aubrey Smith, O. J. Simpson. Increasingly, however, there is a tendency to write such initials without full stops: John D Rockefeller, C Aubrey Smith, O J Simpson.

There is no rule of the language about this; it's up to you. Generally, one would use in such a case either John Smith or J. Smith (or perhaps just Smith) rather than John S.

Periods are frequently, but not always used, after initials and with two-letter abbreviations (U.S.). Declarative sentence: Harry S Truman did not use a period after his middle initial. Periods should be placed inside closing quotation marks, except when followed by a parenthetical note.

Any initials coming from a name (such as The W. A. Franke College of Business or J. L. Walkup) should have periods and a space between the two initials, just as the two names would have a space. All other acronyms should not have periods or spaces.

For an individual, the order of initials is the first name, last name, and middle name. The last name initial (center) is larger than those on either side.
