3 responses Printing your name involves writing it by hand. Someone typing your name is not acceptable. Don't use cursive handwriting if you want to be as readable as possible. Standard printing style is best. Your name can be typed on a keyboard but only two people I know have done this - my father and brother. They both agree that it doesn't look right when someone else does it. They say it looks like they're trying to be funny or original, when all they are doing is copying someone else's style. My father has also told me that if you go to a job interview and they ask you to write your name, don't do it manually. Use your computer instead. It will save time and make you look more professional. He says it's also unprofessional if someone else writes your name in an email or on a document. Again, use your computer for these tasks too. He has also warned me not to write my name in Chinese because only people from China can read it! The main thing is don't copy other people's handwriting. It makes you look unoriginal and not so smart.
