Barb, I agree. Definitely do not shorten your name to B. M. That idea should be eliminated immediately. I think if you're going to go for just letters, it should be B (for Babe or BB for Bodacious Babe). BB is very handy if you fail to lift your finger off the computer key quickly enough and tend to double print. I suggested Margaret Thatcher because I figured most Americans would have heard of her but not be too sure of what she looks like. Come to think of it , I don't want to be Margaret T. either. How about Marie of Rumania or the previously unknown (and much younger) Gabor sister, Cha Cha? M. (for Magnificient)
