As far as I know, there's only one "fl" who posts here. And "fl" as a
cognomen is no worse than such well-known examples as:

J.R. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JR_(artist)

and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_shot_J.R.%3F

M.J. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Jane_Watson

djk (who you worked with for a number of years *wink*)

T.I. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T.I.

not to mention many famous people who are frequently, but not exclusively,
known by initials:

JMS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Michael_Straczynski
MLK https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King,_Jr.
JFK https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy
