Does a period designate that there is a further name after the single letter? What about names that are just one letter for part of it? @AJLinn - have you come across names that are just letters?

have you come across names that are just letters?

I have plenty of agents who sign their works in just letters, but all those I can see in my list of agents that were verbatimized (and so were presumed low-quality) are likely abbreviations for complete names.
