Automatically abbreviate authors' first names in LaTeX

Viewed 22840

Using natbib/Latex/Bibtex, in the references section I get references with full first names like:

Vladimir Iosifovich Levenshtein. Binary codes capable of correcting deletions, insertions, and reversals. Technical Report 8, 1966.

I would like automatically abbreviated first names like:

V. I. Levenshtein. Binary codes capable of correcting deletions, insertions, and reversals. Technical Report 8, 1966.

If you have an idea how to do this I will be glad to hear.
