I know, I can be so weird. Who thinks about these things??...But I hate mine. I usually just scribble my first and middle initial and then last name. I want a real signature with my full first and last name but I am so uncomfortable signing my last name. It just doesn't flow...my maiden name didn't either.
I do understand how stupid this all sounds but tell me about yours...full name? initials? script? print?

Depends on the situation. If I'm in a hurry or have a kid yanking on me it's just the first one or two letters of my first name and the first 3 of my last. Otherwise it's just my name in cursive. Not very pretty.
DH's signature is a wavy line unless he really tries. Then it looks like it may or may not be letters. My four year old's handwriting is more legible... and he has a fine motor delay.

I didn't like mine when I was married. When I got divorced and my maiden name back, I "practiced" a couple ways. I wanted something that was fast to write (if it takes more than 2 seconds, it's too long. I'm impatient.) My name is too long to make it legible quickly, so the first name is fairly legible, but the last name is a "scribble", the "tall" letters are higher bumps than the others.
I found a way that fit my requirements, practiced it a few times, and that was it--new signature. When I had to sign a stack of papers when I bought my second house, the lady got nervous halfway through when she saw it, so she compared it against the first page, and was impressed that it looked nearly exactly the same (they needed to match). I guess it's just my calibrated scribble.

I love my signature. It's cursive and I sign my first name, middle initial and last name. I don't love my first name but I can write it pretty (unless I'm signing it with a fake pen for a CC machine)Sometimes I just scribble it but for cards or checks and such, it looks nice.

First, middle initial, and last name. I went from an 11 letter maiden name to a 6 letter married name and it's nice to be able to write it out quickly. I like my signature. It's legible and pretty but isn't just my name in my cursive writing either.
I used to initial a lot when I worked in a corporate environment and have a really long name.
I sign my first initial and last name. My initial and first letter of my last name are legible and the rest is scribbled. Our last name is so long I don't try to write it neatlyunless I have to.

At the store signing for my credit card, I just do first and middle initial and last name. When doing any paperwork I sign full first, middle initial and last name.
