I don't usually use my middle name or initial, but I still inital things EJO. (Actually, ejo, because that looks prettier in script, and that's what's really important).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd cheerfully go by ita Suzanne. I just don't feel a need to be ita Suzanne t lastname ever. Or ita S t lastname .
Too much, too many.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
When I was a bank teller, we had to initial things a lot, and I made up a thing where my j and f in cursive looked like an H. Now I kind of toss an F in with a horizontal line across the JH.

But then when I got to the practice of law I found out everyone uses their middle initial professionally.
I use my middle initial in signatures and initials and whatnot, mostly because my real name is so common. There's another one at my job now, there was another one at my law firm (not the same person), and there were nine of them in my old bank's system.

When I initial things, I use all three. But my signature doesn't have my middle name in it. (Technically, my signature doesn't have any letters in it at all. It's very scribbly.)

the S and the T are clear, but then it's just a kind of wiggly line. If I'm feeling precise, I might throw in a J.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I left out my middle initial in initialing things as well, both because I had decided not to use it anyway and because I think SMM is unbalanced.

My initials have a ... I dunno, a form. It's all cursive. In fact, sometimes the pen doesn't break with the paper at all, including the dot over the i. I never use my middle name there.
Now that I think about it, the pen doesn't have to leave the paper for me signing my first name alone either.
I'm not big on legibility. Form, form, form. Fuck function.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I initial with three letters. When I feel like using my middle initial in a signature, I go back and add it after I've signed my first and last names. My signature is pretty much T(scribble) S(scribble)ff, sometimes with an M in the middle. Which is nice, since my husband's last name is also S(scribble)ff, so it's easy for me to fudge my signature if someone expects us to have the same last name.
