What are initials?

Question

I know this is a dumb question but what are your initials? Are they your first name and middle name or just middle name?

Answer 1

Your "initials" are all the first letters of all your names including your last name. So if you are a "Mr George W Bush", your initials are "GWB". If you have a third given name that is included too, so if you are a "Ms Katrina Megan Juliet Ryan" then your initials are "KMJR".

Don't worry about asking honest dumb questions, we all start dumb and learn gradually.

Answer 2

abc, It is up to individual to use middle initial when writting name, sometimes required, some initial first and middle names, Ex: Dr. D T Simms...

Answer 3

Depends on how people spells their name.
My mother uses her first name. maiden name then married name
I use my first name and married name. It all depends on the person.
