Should we include a period/full stop with initials for the common names?

Examples
AB Smith, A B Smith & A.B. Smith = A. B. Smith
A. Smith & A Smith = A. Smith
Andrew S. & Andrew S = Andrew S.

I just wonder about names like (for lack of a better example) Kenny G.  It would seem silly to have a period after the G, as it is never written this way.
