Do interpreters receive name signs? - Page 2

Cheylynn · 10-02-2009, 04:43 PM

I was given a name sign by one of the deaf ladies in my church, whom I consider a good friend. My daughter was given a similiar sign. Mine is a "C" directed by 1 hand like the smiling sign. My daughters is the same thing with the letter "T" because we are always smiling. Neither of us are interpreters although we do sign the songs we sing. I felt very special to receive a name sign!

My teacher is a interpreter and has a sign name, however honestly her knowledge of ASL is amazing. 11 years of practice plus she is finishing up her schooling for it, started learning when she was 12. I find that as with anything and anyone, some people will accept you some won't. Some deaf people would love to talk to you, if you are hearing some not as much. I'm hearing but I can't really say it's necessarily a deaf thing. I was asked yesterday if I had a deaf name however, I don't believe the guy knew I was hearing I said "no I am hearing and have a no sign name" (in ASL of coarse). Seems to me you have to be generally excepted into deaf world to have a sign name be you hearing or not. Correct me if I am wrong.
