Do you have a regular signature?

kitschkitty

Even though I've been married over a year now I still have to stop and think sometimes when I'm asked to sign something, and it took me a while to work out how to sign my new signature as the letters don't flow together so there was no way I could sign it like my old one.

My old one was my initial crossed through with my surname, my new one is more like a monogram! It's my initial and 3 letters/initials of my surname.

Oh and it wasn't till we saw the registrar and she asked how we sign our name i.e initials, or just surnames etc, that I even considered the notion of not using my full surname!

e.g John Robert Smith
John R Smith
J Smith
J R Smith
John S
JRS
JS

and so on.

I've found that now I very rarely use cheques that when I do I have to concentrate when I sign one.

Mine's been the same since I was a teenager!

Same here, except with Chip & pin and emails replacing letters, I find I hardly ever sign it anymore.

Mine always varies slightly in the sense of my surname ends in an R and I usually loop back over my name but sometimes I dont. I was in M&S the other day and the chip and pin machine wasnt working properly so the SA asked me to sign - she watched me very closely until I signed my first name (I sign my full first name) and then once she saw it matched she wasnt bothered about the rest. My Dad once watched me sign something and he actually said 'what's that supposed to say :rotfl:' Sometimes I sign really carefully other times I just scribble!
OH doesnt even sign - he just writes his name so if theres anything to sign he usually lets me do it

I have 2 signatures-a legible one and a scribbly one..I'm changing things over to the scribbly one though, I just prefer it.

I was caught on the hop having to sign my first ever signature when I was about 20, had no idea how to do it so just wrote my initial and surname really quickly and I've stuck to that ever since.

For work I just scrawl initials (which kind of loop together quite nicely) and my son's signature is identical to that even though we have different initials.

With my work, I sign my name about 50-60 times + each day. Kinda looks the same, but never 'exactly' the same.

A lot of time it depends on my mood, how much time I have, and what I'm actually signing. At the bank I will sign how it looks on the card, at work it's more squiggly, signing documents it's maybe more like my 'real' signature, in that I take my time to try and sign all my name.

I used to have a single word surname before I was married, now I'm a McG..., so it's more annoying to sign. I've taken out the 'c' and just sign Mg.... :rotfl:

I sign my name regularly at work and my sig is, therefore, fairly consistent. You wouldn't be able to work out my name from it, though.

I have a regular signature although given two forms to sign it inevitably comes out different

I have very scruffy hand writing in my defence

When we got married, MrsLA's surname changed by one letter. Her signature didn't change at all. Still illegible.
