Start by forming the letter 'B' with your dominant hand: keep your fingers straight and together, pointing up, and tuck your thumb across your palm. Then, transition to the letter 'J' by extending only your pinky finger and drawing a 'J' shape in the air, swooping down and curving to the side.

Avoid bouncing your hand. Bouncing makes fingerspelling much harder to read. Keep your hand in a stable position at about shoulder height and let your fingers and wrist do the work.
Yes! Fingerspelling 'B-J' is exactly how you would refer to someone with those initials. Just make sure to establish who you are talking about early in your conversation.
