User name: Beaubourg for the Vangelis album (1978) and JM for "Jean" and "Michel" (no, not because of Jean Michel Jarre, but French for "Hanns" and "Michael" - the first names of my grandfather and father, respectively, thus "Jean Michel" and not "Jean-Michel"), at one time considered as a possible stage name, instead now primarily used as user name in internet communities (see Discogs as an example).
