Back in school, probably 7th grade or so, I practiced putting my signature. It was like I was preparing myself for a day when I will be asked to sign and oh my God, I have to work on it to be able to sign. Wherever there was free space in a piece of paper, I kept on signing and signing and practicing.
Back in India, there was no concept of last name in my family. We had an initial and that's it. So my signature also had my first name and initial.
After coming to US, I had to use last name everywhere starting from passport. But signature remained the same. Never had any issues there so far.
Recently a form I sent somewhere got rejected because they said my signature did not match my full name. My signature is what it is - why should it match my name! Grrr!
Whatever..I need the approval of the form..so I had to sign with my full name for the first time in my life. It felt weird.
