This seems to be common at my work, especially among management. For example, we have a male manager who closes his e-mails with “K” for Ken, a female who uses the “O” in her first name In her closings. If they happen to have initials that actually spell a word, they are hooked and ALWAYS use their cutesy initials. When did this trend start? Is it pretty common?. I had never seen a fellow employee, especially not Management in the early part of my working years. Such a thing would have seemed like “ high school”- lol.
Seen all sorts of signatures, themes, motivation quotes, etc.
It is what it is. It's just a personal preference.
Not everyone will agree/prefer it. But at the end of the day, it's not much of an issue.
I typically use "~m" for the sake of ease. Is it that much harder to type the name out? Of course not... but it's also not that big of a deal to getting up and switching the channel. But we don't do it becasue we don't have to.

And everyone knows who the email is from, anyway, since it's in the "from" line. The signature's just a courtesy.
I'm not really sure why this is any kind of issue. Other than cold-solicitation and spam email, it's always from known parties, or parties-that-should-be-known. How they sign off is... irrelevant, IMHO.
Some workplaces use a certain naming convention. And if there are multiple people with the same first and last name, a middle initial or a number may be added to differentiate.
I really can't believe there is a post about this. SMH
I have a signature at the bottom of my emails which eliminates the need for typing a closing/sign-off.
