When in Home › Circulation › Checkouts 
and the librarian wants to select a patron to perform a checkout upon, the
suggestions currently display only the following patron data:
Surname, Firstname (CardNumber) Address City Zipcode Country

It would be nice if patron INITIALS were also displayed, like this:
Surname, Firstname INITIALS (CardNumber) Address City Zipcode Country

The reason is that multiple patrons may have the same Surname and Firstname and
in order to distinguish them the librarians feel better to ask the patron for
their initials rather than asking for the address (btw in our installation we
use Father's name in place of initials, but this doesn't alter the use case)

Further more, to better distinguish the various names and to make the Surname
and Firstname 'stand out', I suggest converting them to bold, while making the
initials italic.

For all these changes the patch (in matter of code lines) is trivial: a few
lines in two files. 

You may also find two screenshots of the current and the proposed functionality
(the screenshots were taken from a Koha 3.20.x server but the change is
applicable to recent versions also and the patch is created using the current
master)
