There's no obvious assumption, but Helen Bridget is the 1st thing my mind supplied. Initials come across as proper/professional (or trying to be) imv and Helen and Bridget do come across to me as proper/conventional/straitlaced. I also just like those names and notice they both have 'light/fire' type associations.

On the other hand, HB could be using initials because they're embarrassed by their weird given names.
