There are, at least, three ways to sign "Tricia". First and easiest to convey the word "Tricia", is to fingerspell it. While a lot of words have sign equivalents, more often than not proper names, like "Tricia", do not. So fingerspelling the name is fine. If you might be referring to her again later in that same conversation, after fingerspelling her name, select a spot in space as "her" and point to it. Usually the spot will be an empty spot to the left or right of you. You can use that spot in space where you "placed" her was as a touchstone for others when referring to her later in that conversation. Next is to point at "Tricia" if she can be seen by the people involved in the conversation. Even if she were then to leave your sight , you can use the spot where she was as her when referring to her later in that conversation. Next is to inquire if she has a name sign that you can use. Many people in the deaf community have name signs. They are more specific, faster, and don't require Tricia's presence. Again, after using the name sign, select a spot in space to "place" her there and point to it. Once you have identified "Tricia" and placed her in space, you can point to that spot when referring to her. This is the sign language equivalent of using a pronoun after defining the noun.
