“Miss” is usually a title, so is usually capitalized. If you have something like “She watched as the young miss and her date exited the taxi cab” then it’s lowercase, because you aren’t calling her “Miss” as a name.

Q. Do periods go after initials?

Q. How do you write your initials?
If all the letters are the same size (also known as block), initials are ordered like your name: first, middle and last. If the monogram features a larger center initial, the ordering is always first name, last name, and middle name. So Elizabeth’s monogram would be ESB and Charles’s monogram would be CSW.
Q. How do you punctuate initials?
An initial is followed by a full point (period) and a space (e.g. J. R. R. Tolkien), unless: The person had or has a different, consistently preferred style for his or her own name. In that case: treat as a self-published name change; examples include k.d. lang and Jeb Bush.
