You can do use something like this

$foo=str_replace('Anna', 'A',$foo);

You can use something different if the string is dynamic and subject to change.

$string = "okad av Anna Göransson 14:45 - 15:45";
$names = explode(" ",$string);
$names[2] = strtoupper($names[2][0]).".";
$string = implode(" ",$names);
