Include space, dot or not to Name Initials

Hi All,

I have had this quite unsure for a while.

Many people use it differently and I don't know what's the proper way.

Suppose you want to write the name with initials of a person called Alfred Brad Chez Dean Eugendis.

Here are three common ways people would write it.

A. B. C. D. Eugendis
A.B.C.D. Eugendis
ABCD Eugendis

What is the proper English way?

Thanks,
McoreD

Nobody asked you how you prefer to write it. The question was, which one is the proper way!

Clive,

I have a colleague who finishes
his emails with his initials Lm. Is this correct or proper? Or should it be LM? Curious.

Please advise.

In private emails, people do what they want. The 'Lm' style seems unusual to me, but it's up to him.
