It is very easy to finger spell Kaitlynn, or any name, in sign language. Names and such you need to finger spell each letter, there is no quick sign to say them: K - Tuck your thumb in between your index and middle finger, your middle and index will be pointing outwards, the index finger pointing up. A - Make a fist, palm out, knuckles facing up, with the thumb pointing upwards. I - Pinky finger up, all other fingers are closed, hand palm out. T - You will make a fist with your index finger overlapping your thumb. (like in the child's game of taking their nose) palm face out. L - Like as the band, Smash Mouth, says. You make the shape of an "L" with your index and thumb (this will be backwards to you, but will be proper to the reader). Y - Palm out with the pinky finger up, the thumb pointing away from the rest and the others in a fist-like position. N - Your index and middle finger will overlap the thumb. Your other fingers remain like in a fist position. N - Repeat the above*
