How to sign Melissa: tips from its letters

What to do with each part of Melissa, from the first capital to the last stroke.

The capital M. M starts with a small hook and has three humps in cursive. In a signature, make the humps step down from left to right and finish the last one on the baseline, flowing into the e. A tall first hump makes the M stand out without making it wide.
The s in Melissa. Cursive s rises to a sharp point and closes at the bottom. It is small and easily lost in a fast signature; a clear point at the top keeps it readable.
The e in Melissa. A lowercase e is a small loop. Keep the loop open: in a quick signature e tends to close into a dash, which is fine at the end of a name but makes the middle hard to read.
The double ss. Two identical letters side by side are where a signature either flows or stutters. Write the ss with one rhythm, the second a touch smaller than the first. Merging them into one longer stroke is fine, as long as both are still there.
A tall letter: l. The l is the one small letter in Melissa that rises above the others, so it sets the rhythm: give it a clear loop on the same slant as the capital, about the capital’s height, and the name looks steady even when it is fast.
The dot on i. Most quick signatures leave it out. If you keep it, add it after you finish the name, a little to the right, as a fast tick or a small circle. That last dot is a classic finishing touch.
The final a. Melissa ends on a round letter. Its exit stroke can stretch out along the baseline and turn into an underline or a short wave.
7 letters. A name of this length can be written in full and still look fast. Keep the letters joined and let them shrink a little towards the end, the way real signatures do.
