I know you're supposed to get your sign name from a deaf person. My baby passed away at three months, and I hadn't gotten a chance to find the deaf community around me so she didn't get her name sign. I really would like for her to have a cool one. I want to be able to talk about her without finger spelling her name. I wasn't born deaf so I want to respect the culture. Does anyone know how I can get her name sign?

Her name is Jaden. She was happy, curious, and calm. She loved music, being read to, baths, and her swing. She passed away due to a heart problem. I was learning ASL for her, but now I'm continuing to learn in memory of her, to be able to communicate with the deaf community, and because I'm having problems with my ears.

Please if anyone can help I'd be so very thankful.

Sorry about your daughter. To honor her memory with a sign name, you should visit a DHH community nearest to you. A quick search on your smartphone will get you all the info you need.
