   Wikipedia has some short lists, but the more comprehensive lists are on the Internet Book Database.

Put in the letter for your own last name and it'll bring up a huge list of authors with your last name. Then you can look for authors with the same first initial.
There's an easy way to do it with Excel; if anyone gets stuck and wants the Excel instructions or a list of authors with their initials let me know and I can post that.
      This is kind of a nightmare for me since my initials are LBU, I've found a couple of LB's and LU's, but that's it :c
    
  
  
   I had to get my librarian's help for this. She found an author when I couldn't so now I just need it to come in.
