So, while I agree that consistently omitting full stops on letters that
are actually names rather than initials is a good idea - in this case
it wouldn't be entirely accurate, imo. How would you handle this case?
What I would do is enter his name as R L Corley on the Individual's
Information page, with Bob Corley as an AKA. Then I would quote the
name *as it was written* in the original, when Sourcing. So the
citation using his Birth Certificate would read "Birth Certificate of R.
L. Corley ..." and a citation using perhaps a letter from a business
colleague might include "... to Bob Corley..."
For total clarification you might include in the General Notes something
along the lines of "R L Corley is his full name, not just initials of
his forename and middle name."
