I think Rishitha, Tanvi's answer explanation is correct. Because somebody don't have middle name.

For every person there will be a initial before or after their names, names are so common but the initials they have may not be common. So, we can easily recognize a person with their initials.

Offcourse but it is not a rule to call all with intials. I want more clarity if any one please. And we have to correct the sentence only. According to my view it doesn't have any correction. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

@Chaitanya is absolutely right friends. Initial is the person's original name. Such as Sachin for Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar and Neil for Neil Nitin Mukesh. Rest all are second name/ father's name/ surname etc. I would like to correct Raj also. SRK is not initial. It is just a short form just as Viru for Virendra Sehwag. Viru is also not initial. It is also not necessary that initial must be written in beginning of name. Tendulkar Sachin can also be written. But it doesn't make 'Tendulkar' initial. Initial will always be 'Sachin'. @Pothuri Divya is right. But dear Divya! Initials are also common. Such as your name Divya or mine Gaurav :).

Thanks to define me because I was thinking initial means abbreviation.

Why picture is not a answer?

I think initials means starting letter of their names like NANDAMURI TARAKA RAMARAVU as N.T.R, AKKINENI NAGESWARA RAO as A.N.R and ANUMULA RAVINDAR REDDY as A.R.R .
Signature and picture and middle names are not the answers so initial is the answer.

Initials means, for example, we call Mahendra Sing Dhoni as M.S.Dhoni. Here M.S.Dhoni is an initial for his name.
