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.

The standard monogram position is on the left front of the shirt, near the stomach. The chest monogram position is on the upper left front of the shirt.

One of the most common ways to monogram a name with four letters is to have all four letters in a row in order "First," "Middle," "Middle," "Last," or, for example, "MSXW." For this type of monogram, sometimes called a "block" monogram, all the letters are the same size and are usually in an unembellished font.

A traditional 3 letter monogram is the person's first name initial on the left, the last name initial in the middle & larger, and the middle name initial on the right. If the monogram is for a married woman, it has been traditional to substitute her maiden name initial for her middle name initial on the right.

For women, a three letter monogram is styled with the last initial placed large in the center, and the first and middle (or maiden) initials on either side, slightly smaller. For men, the initials are placed in order (first, middle, last) all the same size.

Q: Whose name/initial goes first? A: Ladies first! The woman's name/initial always comes first on a monogram because the man's first name/initial should never be separated from his last name/initial.

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.
