The definition of a Monogram is a woman's 3-letter initials used to decorate & personalize her clothing & belongings. Each women's Monogram is her own; a cute shorthand for her full name. The proper Monogram Etiquette format is first name initial, last name initial, middle/maiden name initial. A Monogram always has the biggest letter in the middle, which is why the middle letter is the last name (most important).
Ladies:
First Name, LAST NAME, Middle Name.
Married Ladies:
First Name, LAST NAME, Maiden name (or middle name if you prefer). Generally when a woman is married, the middle name leaves her monogram and is replaced by her maiden name.

I love UM. I believe it is the place where I bought my first monogram, my very first one was a gift. But, this is where I became OBSESSED with them. 100% recommend this shop!
Love monograms!
United Monograms has hands down, quickly become my favorite place to shop! I love absolutely everything I have ordered and cannot wait to order more. ☺️ I know one day, when I get a teaching job, all my fun monogrammed sweatshirts and shirts will be a favorite among all my kiddos too. 💓💓💓 Looking at the March Madness sale repeatedly is the only thing getting me through quarantine at this point. 😂
I love having my own personal touch to so many cute pieces! these are very well done! I own a lot of shirts ❤️ now that my initials are actually changing, I love having items with my new name!😉
