HelpRe: HB
in reply to a message by buggycat
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.

These are likely in the US, though...
Someone born 1940s-1950s:
Helen, Hazel, Harriet
Barbara, Bessie, Beatrice, Beverly, Betty, Brenda, Bonnie, Bertha, Bobbie, Bonita, Beth, Belinda
I'll pick Harriet Bessie, Helen Beatrice, or Hazel Brenda, of those.
Someone born 1960s-1970s:
Heidi, Holly, Heather, Helen, Hope
Brandy, Bridget, Brenda, Barbara, Beth, Beverly, Betty, Bonnie, Belinda, Brooke, Becky
Helen Bridget or Heidi Barbara, of those.
Someone born 1980s-1990s:
Haley, Heather, Holly, Hannah, Hope, Heidi
Brianna, Brittany, Brooke, Brandy, Bethany, Bailey, Bianca, Brenda, Bridget, Beth, Barbara
Holly Brianna or Hope Bethany, of those.
Someone born 2000s-2010s:
Hailey, Hannah, Harper, Hazel, Heaven, Hope
Brooke, Brooklyn, Brianna, Bailey, Blakely, Bianca, Bella, Brielle, Brynlee
Hazel Brooke or Heaven Bianca, of those.
If B were a surname, the 1st thing that comes to mind is Blackburn. Probably because I had a teacher named that.
