They are my initials, by which I'd identify myself when signing a signalling drawing, as a tester or similar.
I use them on this site because my first name is Peter and this is the same as the person who set it up, so he "bagged it" first.
Actually thinking about it, goes back even longer into my past. When I got to the 6th form having completed "O levels" and studying "A levels", my maths master felt that the pupils were becoming adults and I think felt uncomfortable continuing to call us by our surname (family name). However it would be unthinkable to have gone so far as using our Christian name (as it was known back then- now more correctly called "given name") and therefore he either used someone's nickname (usually a familiar contraction of their surname or their initials. [Actually he had been a childhood friend of my mother's brother and so occasionally met him socially, so he'd call me Peter on such occasions, but I still didn't use his first name to his face (one just didn't do so back then, even as a young adult when first starting work. The world - at least the UK- has changed tremendously; look where that has taken us with the lack of respect for elders as evidenced by all the riots last week........
To be honest I often think of people as initials, much to the annoyance of a certain lady who I think of as MLJ but she seems very sensitive about her middle name...
