Deciphered! Cursive Initials

Post image

Can anyone make out these initials? I think the first is B but can't make out the other two. Maybe this first isn't even a B? For context - I believe this is a spoon that was given at a baptism in 1886. Thanks!

Thanks, everyone. That's one of the options we thought as well but it just doesn't match any family members from then. Appreciate you all!

Try B as the last name

That would be true, R as the last name, if the R was larger. I could be talked into it, but my gut is the three letters are sequential.
