Is it acceptable to put your first name initial followed by last name in a written document.

For example, if the name is John Smith to say J. Smith? Is it appropriate?

    This depends on the document, its audience, purpose and formality, none of which are defined in your question. In general, the convention is to use the full first name, however nothing technically prevents an author being credited as "Initial + surname" – kaipmdh May 11 '20 at 13:24
  • The document is a blog post, the audience is anyone, and formality would be business professional. – user384726 May 11 '20 at 13:29

    This is a style enquiry, better asked over on Writing.SE. – Edwin Ashworth May 11 '20 at 13:31
  • I agree with kaipmdh above. "It depends on the document." – Greybeard May 11 '20 at 14:13
