Tips for writing a name in cursive
- Start with the capital. The first letter of a name is the one people notice. Practice it on its own on the uppercase page before writing the whole name.
- Join the rest. After the capital, lift your pen and write the remaining lowercase letters in one flowing pass. The join guide explains why letters like o and v connect across the top.
- Dot and cross last. Add the dots on i and j, and cross any t or x, once the name is finished.
- Print a sheet. The practice sheet generator makes dotted tracing lines for any name, in capitalized or lowercase form.
Cursive name questions
Is my name stored or sent anywhere?
No. The text is processed in your browser and never uploaded.
Which font is best for a name?
For formal uses such as certificates and invitations, Great Vibes and Allura read well. For everyday labels, Dancing Script and the school cursive style are easier to read at small sizes.
Why does the handwritten version look different from the fonts?
The fonts are stylized lettering. The handwriting model shows the simple school cursive that you would write with a pen, with exact stroke order and joins.
Can I use the image for a tattoo?
Use it as a reference only: an artist should redraw the lettering for your skin and placement. See the tips on the cursive fonts page.
