Traditionally, a monogram reads First Name Initial, Last Name Initial, Middle Name or Maiden Name Initial. With the Last Name Initial being the larger Middle Initial. For example, if you had the name Kelsie Elizabeth Vogds, her monogram would read KVE.

Why is the last initial in the middle of a monogram?

The reason why the last name traditionally goes in the middle is because the last name is most important and should stand out! Example: Mary Rachel American, whose monogram would look like: Married Ladies: ... Generally when a woman is married, the middle name leaves her monogram and is replaced by her maiden name.
