Perhaps it would be clear enough if we just used the year of birth, without
dash or b.?

established personal name headings
My only problem with your proposal is that some library integrated systems
read the b. as middle initial of the person's name. Looks very interesting
on the opac. When we first starting using our LIS here, we also found that
the system could not differentiate between numbers, such as the ISSN in the
series statement. Because we don't any further confusion, even though it
may have been cured by now, we routinely take the ISSN out of the 4XX field
