Names & fingerspelling

Fingerspell your name in BSL or ASL

Enter a name in SignMyWord and see each letter as British Sign Language or American Sign Language fingerspelling. This is useful for learning the manual alphabet and practising how a written name is spelled visually.

How it works

Type the name, choose BSL or ASL, and the generator displays one fingerspelling image for each letter. You can then share a link or create a picture of the result.

Fingerspelling and sign names are different

SignMyWord spells a written name using the manual alphabet. It does not invent or assign a sign name. Sign names are a separate part of Deaf communities and sign-language use.

Try an example

The generator shows fingerspelling, not a full translation of a name into sign language.
