Pitbull 4 - lua Texts

Heyja!
Is it possible to shorten the name so ...?

"Veressa Windrunner" -> "V. Windrunner"
or
"Veressa Windrunner" only "Veressa"

Currently, I have this:

Alpha(0.7) Outline() local r,g,b = ClassColor(unit)
return '|cff%02x%02x%02x%s|r %s%s%s',r,g,b,string.sub(Name(unit),1,9),Angle(AFK(unit) or DND(unit))

The lua I use to shorten names (the first kind that you listed - V. Windrunner) looks like this:

lua Code:

return "||cff%02x%02x%02x%s||r",cc.r*255,cc.g*255,cc.b*255,string.gsub(name, '%s?(.)%S+%s', '%1. ')
