If someone that you didnt know read it, would they know what name is signed?

Not really. I pretty much do my first and middle initials following my last initial and a little scribble that's looks a little bit like the letters of my last name and end it with the III suffix.

Mine is horrible. And, it seems to change almost every time I do it. I have the worst handwriting ever, and it's gotten much, much worse since I left college. Since I'm on the computer all day, I'm lucky if I pick up a pen and write something twice a day.

An illegible signature says that you enjoy making your name a mess so others find it difficult to forge. :D

Hell no it isn't. I scribble furiously, and it in no manner resembles an actual signature. Lady at the DMV actually had the balls to tell me I couldn't sign like that. WTF. I signed my mortgage like that, I sign all my credit card receipts like that - EVERYTHING. It basically an E going into random scribbling then finishes with an H somewhere.

Nope! You can only make out a few letters. The rest are just scribbles.

My old boss had a signature worse than that. It was literally a circle with a line through it. I don't know how many times he'd buy something and sign a credit card slip and they would tell him he couldn't sign like that.

Mine is pretty much scribble too, a P scribble scribble, dot the nonexistent i and cross what resembles a t, another P scribble scribble, dot another imaginary i.

yep, because its simple. its just my first and last name initials done in one hand sweep. my friends tell me my signature looks like a short-n-curly (read: pubic hair).

Nope, you can make out my initials though, so I figure it's close enough. Unfortunitly I signed some things way back in the day a little differently, so I have to write it nicely every once in a while ;)

Mine changes everytime. I'm surprised I got a passport.

My AT sig borked itself months ago, and I'm too careless to fix it.

My signature depends on the cashier. I scribble furiously till the person gives me a look. I think i've gotten 40-50% blacked out on the electronic signature a few times.

My signature is AWEFUL, I get made fun of when people see how I sign my name. They say I have nice printed hand writing though (verging on feminine). :p

A signature doesn't need to be legible - it's a personal mark, nothing more.
