Very clean lines in this typeface! I love the parallel sweeps of the two diagonals. And it only has one potential reading: 尾岸 is Ogishi. Nice and neat.
尾 is read o or bi, and it means tail, end, or slope. It's also used as a counter for fish........ but only in a fishing/commercial context. Fish become 尾 bi once you pull them out of the water. Living fish, like most small animals, are counted with 匹 hiki. When I see whole fish at the supermarket, the counter depends on their shape: most are 本 hon (if they're about twice as long as they are wide), but flat ones like flounder are 枚 mai (same as sheets of paper, t-shirts, etc.).
(Once you start cutting them up to serve, there's a whole variety of different counters (as befits Japan's very fishy food culture), but if I'm ever gonna get that far into the weeds about food, it will be on my other blog.)
岸 is read kishi or gan, and it means bank or shore. You might be able to infer the topological meaning from the radicals: 山 means mountain, 厂 means cliff, and 干 means hang or dry.
