Ever confused about monograms for abbreviated names? It’s simple … go with the first letter!
If you’re Jane E. O’Doe your monogram would be JEO or JOE or O. In monogramming you always stick with where your last name would be if placed on an alphabetical listing of names.
By the way, this rule works if you have two worded last name such as Jane E. von Doe (JEV or JVE or V) or an two capitalized last name like Jane E. DiGeorge (JED or JDE or D).
Of course, there are a ton of combinations of maiden and married names and joint monograms and hyphenated names these days! Have any confusion on your monogram? Just ask!
