In a lot of apps, it is standard practice to create a profile image / avatar for a user based on their initials of their name. e.g Colin Winhall = CW.
This feature helps a lot in terms of user experience as it provides dynamic placeholder content so that a visitor to your app/site doesn’t see the same placeholder image everywhere.
You can do this using the service https://eu.ui-avatars.com/
