For a last name like “von Smith” or “O’Henry” or “McDonald” .  Use the first letter of the last name: “V,” “O,” or “M.”

For example,  Eleanor Short von Smith, her Traditional monogram would be EVS. (V the larger letter in the center) Her Straight Monogram would be ESV. 

For a fun variation, use the "vS", "OH", or McD in the monogram (make sure you know whether the family capitalizes the “v” or “OH” or “McD.”
