Nice to see that i am not the only one you read drh as Dr. H. ;-) in
fact his name is D. Richard Hipp.
But i have never seen before the habit to abreviate the first surname.

J. Isaias Cabrera
Interesting story about this... My father name is Jose Cabrera, and he named
me Jose Isaias Cabrera. My mother decided to call me Isaias to distinguish
between us. All my life, in Dominican Republic, my papers were J. Isaias
Cabrera. When I came into the United State, in 1979, the Immigration
department would not let me be J. Isaias Cabrera. I had to change to Jose
Isaias Cabrera because they wanted a full name. By the way, this is in
1979, which was much easier then than now. Their reasoning was that I could
not have a J. for a name. Weird, huh? But I wanted in, so I said,
whatever, give me the green card. :-)
