ok here's the question: if a person's name is like J.P or C.J then is it supposed to be like this:

I probably wouldn't even use the periods, just CJ or JP.

If you insist on using periods, it would be properly written with the periods after each letter.

A snippet from the Coen Brother's Raising Arizona script...
OVER BLACK:
VOICE OVER
My name is H. I. McDunnough...
A WALL
With horizontal hatch lines.
VOICE OVER
...Call me Hi.
A disheveled young man in a gaily colored Hawaiian shirt is
launched into frame by someone offscreen.
He holds a printed paddle that reads "NO. 1468-6 NOV. 29
79."
The hatch marks on the wall behind him are apparently height
markers.
VOICE OVER
...The first time I met Ed was in
the county lock-up in Tempe,
Arizona...
FLASH
As his picture is taken.
CLOSEUP
On the paddle: "NOV. 29 79."
VOICE OVER
...a day I'll never forget.
A bellowing male voice from offscreen:
SHERIFF
Don't forget the profile, Ed!
ANGLE ON THE STILL CAMERA
It is mounted on a tripod. A pretty young woman in a severe
police uniform peers out from behind it.
WOMAN
Turn to the right.
HI
What kind of name is Ed for a pretty
thing like you?
ED
Short for Edwinna. Turn to the right!
HI obliges, but still looks at Ed out of the corner of his
eye.
HI
You're a flower, you are. Just a
little desert flower.
Doesn't look to me like periods in initials are necessary.

If you show anyone a script without exactly two periods in the name after each letter, they will blacklist you so you never write again and will also hire hitmen to kill you.
