Father's first initial and grandpafather's first initial

[mrmvp]

Hello.

Is it correct to write father's first initial and grandpafather's first initial leaving only your first and family name?

For example, John W, A, Smith.

"W" refers to the father's name. "A" refers to grandfather's name.

Someone might raise a question of why you write your full name. It's common where I live to mention your full name when submitting a MA , a phD or even a research paper.

Please correct me if I am mistaken.

For example, John W, A, Smith.

In the Western world, those initials do not stand for the father's and grandfather's names. They stand for a person's second and third (personal) names, or for part of their compound surname.
For example, look up Dwight D. Eisenhower or George H. W. Bush.
Having said that, if you want your name to include the initials of your father and grandfather, then I see no reason why you can't.

Thank you @teechar

Should I use comma or period after the father's name and the grandfather's name?

1. John W, A, Smith

2. John W. A. Smith

Use periods (full stops in the UK) or nothing.

John W. A. Smith
John W A Smith

Definitely don't use commas.
