Dear Michel,

I believe you asked the exact same question a year ago on Feb 3, 2020,
and at the time, I answered it as follows. I believe that there is no
bug, but someone writes R.V. instead of R. V. -- Peter

> Hi Michel,

> perhaps you are using the bibliography style "abbrv", and incorrectly
> writing your name as Michel R.V. Chaudron instead of Michel R. V. Chaudron?
> Note that if you omit the space after "R.", BibTeX will treat the
> sequence of letters R.V. as a single word, and in the "abbrv" style,
> it will also abbreviate each word to its first letter.

> \documentclass{article}
> \begin{document}
> \cite{chaudron1,chaudron2,chaudron3}
> \bibliographystyle{abbrv}
> \bibliography{test}
> \end{document}
> 
> ---test.bib-----------------------------------------------------------
> @article{chaudron1,
>   author = "Michel R. V. Chaudron",

>   journal = "Some journal",
>   year = 2020

> @article{chaudron2,
