RH or R. H.?[edit]

Ive changed the name back from RH Bing to R. H. Bing, as that is the form used in his published papers, his collected works, his books, his obituary, and mathscinet. I have found no evidence for the form "RH Bing". r.e.b. (talk) 04:22, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Steven G. Krantz writes "R H Bing" in page 33 of his "Mathematical Apocrypha", and adds that there are no periods after the letters R and H. Jayme (talk) 18:07, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

even if his name is R H Bing, if we use his initials it's R. H. Bing. 68.174.97.122 (talk) 20:18, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Really no given names?[edit]

How did his mother call him inside? "R.H"? And at school? I find this story difficult to believe.
