See [0].  DJ is not an initialism, AFAIK.  As such, D.J. is not
correct.  Dj is not correct because his parents did not spell his name
that way in naming him.  It's not hard to understand [1].  And once
you come across his situation, you'll find his parents did a great job
in giving him a unique and memorable name [2].
