Hello. In my work place we use three letters abbreviations for the First and Last name of the persons.

So I was wonderind which of the two sentences is correct

"If your name abbreviation is not in the list..."
"If your abbreviation name is not in the list..."


Probably the first is the correct as the second must be like
abbreviational name (which is not the best sentence ever)

Of the two, the first is correct.

Sorry, is it "on the list" or "in the list"?

Thank you

Thank you

Sorry, I missed that, it should be "on".

I think the first is more correct, although still sounds a bit off to my ears. Perhaps "If the abbreviation of your name is not on the list..." would work.

You could use the second one if you changed "abbreviation" to "abbreviated."
