If his name is S why is there a period... like an abbreviation.
People are used to adding periods so they just add it in.

I have a family member whose middle name is a letter. A friend of mine has two family members that only have initials for their first name (one was named for the other). When the older joined the army they just gave him a name that fit the initials and that went on all his official paperwork.
