How do you sign your name?

I sign a lot of stuff for work so I tend to just use my three initials, cursive but legible. For legal documents I tend to use my first name, initial, last name, also cursive and legible. My electronic signature is basically the same.

I have a relatively long German name so I just scribble something unreadable to spare us all the 20 seconds it would cost me to sign in a readable way.

Cursive, neatly, as the nuns taught it in elementary school. If I don’t write neatly, I’m afraid those nuns would haunt me.

I still write cursive as much as possible, and even practice on occasion. I just lump it all into my calligraphy hobby. Of course, my son can’t read my cursive, as they don’t teach it anymore. He doesn’t really have a signature, sadly.

I sign my name the typical way. A couple of legible big letters followed by an illegible scrawl that is close to but not always same each time.

My wife has two signatures. Her actual official sig for endorsing checks and signing contracts and the like and more more legible one for signing her books, since she is an author.

Just about everything I sign these days is one of those tablet or phone app signing things where you have to use a finger on a little box that, if on a phone, is too small.

So I end up scribbling some nonsense roughly similar to my initials plus one character using the writing system of one of my ancestors to make it distinctive. But on a phone it just comes out as a random mess.

Well, the honest answer is "Badly." Non-cursive first letter of each, name, cursive the rest (and I doubt I still remember how to do most other cursive letters, including capitals). I rarely bother with my middle initial.

My printing is pretty bad (has been forever) and my handwriting was even worse back when I used to use it.
