Grammar
Full Stop between initials
Hello,
Suppose John is my grandfather's name and I'd like to name my store F.L.M.J & sons (J for John and FLM are his initials), should it be "F.L.M.J. & sons (full stop after each letter)" or "FLMJ & sons" or "F.L.M.J & sons (no full stop after J)"? Which would be used in British English? I'd think it's the first one?
Thanks,
Prasanna

J. You might prefer a name that is easy for customers to remember and pronounce. FLMJ (without the full stops) would be pronounced Flim-jay.

- FLMJ (without the full stops) would be pronounced Flim-jay.
- With the full stops, it is Eff-el-em-jay.
- To me, the first is easier on the tongue and easier to remember.

I'm American, not British, but my opinion is that it is your store, and you can name it whatever pleases you (but make sure that the name is not already registered as another business.)
If the name is John Fredrick Lloyd Manson, then the initials are J.F.L.M., not F.L.M.J.
You might prefer a name that is easy for customers to remember and pronounce.
