Meaning and background
The story behind Bb
BB is used for several abbreviations and symbols in Collins, including bases on balls in baseball, a soft pencil grade in British usage, and a size of shot. These are distinct contexts rather than one shared name meaning. As a pet nickname, the two letters can be chosen for a personal association or initials, but the dictionary does not identify one traditional personal-name etymology for every BB.
