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.

How do you write your name with initials? You simply replace the name with the first letter of the name, capitalized and followed by a period.

Initials are the capital letters which begin each word of a name. For example, if your full name is Michael Dennis Stocks, your initials will be M. D.

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.

Ing to The Chicago Manual of Style all initials given with a name should "for convenience and consistency" be followed by a period even if they are not abbreviations of names. The U.S. Government Printing Office Style Manual states that the period should be used after the "S" in Harry S. Truman's name.

The initials of the business letter's writer go first, in capital letters, followed by a colon or slash mark, then the typist's initials in lowercase. For example, here are two ways to format typist initials if Cadence Walters typed a business letter for her manager Mathieu Monet: MM:cw. MM/cw.

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.

Final Notations If your letter is typed by someone else, the typist's initials may be included two lines below the signature block. Once standard in business letters, the use of initials is now a matter of corporate style.
