In a professional setting, you would sign the memo with the persons name who asked you to write it. Then underneath that, you would put his initals, backslash, your initials so that everyone would know that you actually wrote the letter. Learned this from Admin. Assisting.
Example: John Doe asked you, James Smith to write a memo
blah, blahm blahm
thank you
John Doe
JD/JS

There are different conventions. Ask the person in question which he prefers.
Office politics and real needs (like relationships with clients) will make one choice better than the others.

I'd probably sign both our names, but I've never worked in a very formal office, smaller companies only.

you can always do what executive assistants do: sign your boss' name and then do a / with your initials. So if my boss' name is Jack Bauer, and my intials are dg, i can sign the memo:
Jack Bauer/dg (always in lower case)
and people will know it was conceived by the former, but signed by the latter.

I had to do this a lot with a prior job. I used their initials
