If your initials are T.W., and you're into Art Nouveau graphics, today is your lucky day! I just stumbled across this monogram from "The Works of GJ Whyte-Melville", pub. 1898, via the British Library.

A TW monogram, rendered in graphic, black & white, Art Nouveau style. The overall shape is a vertical rectangle.
The serif letters are stacked and centered, the T thrust upwards by a fist that emerges from the center of the W, which is a loop. The letters are both pierced and threaded by scrolling, intertwined vines and lotus-like flowers that crowd the frame. The flora is symmetrical on the right and left sides, but not identical; each side has grown in its' own knotted, swirly pattern.
