I spelled it correctly.  You capitalized both letters which
in English indicates it's an abbreviation of a first and
middle name.  If it's not intended to be understood as
initials, then the second letter should be lowercased,
as in "Dj" like foreign names such as "Ng".

Well, I should be insulted that you'd correct me for what
constitutes a spelling mistake on your part.  Although,
it's your name so you can claim it's spelled any way you
want.  You just don't have the right to correct others
when you chose to fail to follow English spelling rules.
