1. Initial Letter:
* This is the most common and basic way to sign names.
* You would sign the letter "D" by touching your thumb to the tip of your index finger and then moving your hand out in front of you.
2. "David" Sign:
* There is a specific sign for "David" that involves touching your thumb to your chin and then moving your hand down to your chest.
* This sign is less common than the initial letter, but some people prefer it for a more personal touch.
3. Fingerspelling:
* You could also spell "David" by signing each letter individually: "D," "A," "V," "I," "D."
* This is the most straightforward way to sign any name that doesn't have a specific sign.
Important Note: The actual sign for "David" can vary slightly based on regional dialects or individual preferences.
It's best to learn from a qualified ASL instructor or consult a reliable ASL dictionary for the most accurate and up-to-date signs.
