Finwitch:

Well, Regulus Black is Regulus Musta in Finnish - the letters are, 
accordingly, R.A.M.

As for brother, it's "veli" - quite different. And if it were to be as 
you suggest, Remember Albus' Brother - it ought to be M.A.V. in 
Finnish...

And, I do know the translator contacted JKR on the issue. She gave an 
interview on it...

However, as per all others given info on the last letter among 
translations, I think we can consider it given that the B *does* stand 
for Black. Whether R stands for Regulus is yet to be seen, but at 
least we know that Regulus was a DE and wanted out and is, therefore, 
a likely candidate.
