Initials in signature - old fashioned?

[BigGlasses]

My parents, and a lot of their generation (late 60s) use their initials in their signature, for instance Dad’s is WRTSmith and Mum’s is MaryJSmith. However most of my generation (30/40s)such as me and my sister use just our first and last name, eg Emma Smith.

Is this just my family/friends? Not that it matters, i’m Just musing/bored.

( all names have been changed/made up obviously, but the format is what i’m On about)

I sign D Apple, I don't bother with my middle initial. I'm late 30s.

DH signs A. B. Apple (with full stops) he's mid 50s.

Mine is initial surname - except that at work I sign a lot of letters, and my first initial has mutated to look more like a J than a V, and my surname has evolved into ‘first two letter and squiggle’.

Thank god i don’t have to sign credit card slips anymore as mine doesn’t look like on the back of my card!!

I changed mine when I got married and just do the initials - ABC. Before, I did initial then surname.
I'm 36

First initial, middle initial and surname. Surname is very long so generally just a wibbly line and I need the middle initial as I share a first initial and surname with my MIL. Plus the initials and first letter on my surname spell a word so for example 'C.A.T------'

I'm 40. Mins is first initial then surname. e.g. J Smith.

I haven't ever thought about including my middle initial (it's never crossed my mind), but now it has, I'll be giving it a go!

First initial, second initial, surname. Flows better like that and also breaks the two similar letters.

35 and mine is initials and surname. Couldn’t be arsed to sign my whole first name.

I'm early 40s and do initial then surname. Before I married it was first initial, second initial then surname, but my middle initial ruined the handwriting "flow" into my married name, so I stopped using it

J J Bloggs. My surname was very common so the middle initial made it a bit more me! Josephine Bloggs would take too long.

Oops, mid 50s.

48 and I sign Northern S Lover.

I just do first initial then surname, my surname is 9 letters so anything more than that is a PITA

Edit i'm mid-twenties.

I'm 52 and sign initial and surname. If it's informal I use first name, surname. Very informal, first name only.

I've only got one first name.

I'm early thirties and have a double-barrelled surname, my signature is:

First initial, second initial, first surname initial, second surname.

Otherwise it would be ten miles long!

Mine is meant to be my first initial, the first part of my surname's initial and then the last part of my surname in full. It actually looks more like a wiggly line though because I cba to write it all.

I'm 40 btw

I use my initials and then surname, so AB Stripyoss. I'm in my 30s and I always have done, ever since we all spent time practising and deciding our signatures in primary school! I'm not sure why, although my first name is quite long and I only ever use a shortening, so perhaps it's subconscious.

In my head mine is my first initial and then surname - but in reality it is a useless scribble

Mine is initial then surname but dh is full name. We are early 40's. To be honest mine is more a squiggle now.

Meant to say I'm late 20's

I'm 41 and do first name, middle initial, surname.

I don’t have a middle name. I always write D Pond. I’m early 50s.

I'm mid thirties, I write my two initials and then my surname in full. For example, P. E. Teacher. I just think it looks nicer. I've never come across someone who writes out their whole first name for their signature.
