Hey, posting again just to show how little time it takes to find an "imaginative" explanation.
Google translates 'Our Lady's Modesty' as 'La modestia della Madonna' in Italian.
[Versus Notre-Dame or Lieben Frau]
So, there are the fused initials [MM] that Koen highlighted in pink.
Obviously, it still needs to be determined that this is linguistically valid in the medieval vernacular, but it is the same type of "rebus reading" that was used for VMs costmary and it is yet another religious interpretation in the VMs that is compatible with medieval Mariology.
PS: Better yet is the Latin: Mariae Modestiae!
