Something like NG - Nick Green as an example?

Yes from the first letters of the name and the surname, but the company name is not "two letters".

Sirocco, built by Almac founder Alex McDonald.
"Mc Donald started Almac Plastics in 1971. But his interest in cars goes back many years to when he was a lad in England and purchased a 90 pound kit car from Gem Marsh. This was in the early days of kit cars and the Sirocco reflected that in its poor quality and the fact that it was not complete. To complete it Alex had to learn how to fibreglass. His mother regularly complained of the smell that drifted into her kitchen from the garage that was attached to the house and Alex occasionally had fibreglass tasting sandwiches for his lunch. Still this first car was eventually finished.
Later he sold the Sirocco for a TVR which was later upgraded for a MG midget"
