class Name
  def initialize(name)
    @fname, @mname, @sname = name.split
  end
  attr_reader :fname, :mname, :sname
  def initials
    "#{fname[0].chr}.#{mname[0].chr}.#{sname[0].chr}"
  end
end

a = Name.new("Johnathan Micheal Smith")
p a.fname
p a.mname
p a.sname
p a.initials

Works for me..

c0re:~$ ruby test.rb
"Johnathan"
"Micheal"
"Smith"
"J.M.S"
