Rose Ayling-Ellis explains what a sign name is

What would your sign name be? 🧏

Rose takes on an uplifting experiment with a gang of old-timers to see if sign language can bring them confidence and joy in later life. After all, it's never too late to learn. @rose.a.e #BSL #BritishSignLanguage #OldHandsNewSkills #RoseAylingEllisOldHandsNewTricks #Deaf #DeafTok

My daughters is Maggie “m” near mouth because she always smiles. I don’t have one yet. In the US it’s a gift. A Deaf person give you your name. My BFF (stone Deaf) gave my daughter one. Won’t give me one. She’s a brat because she knows I want one and I won’t give myself one. 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

Would love to be able to see all her signs as she speaks and not just have to rely on the subtitles on the other angled shots that obscure her hands, if possible 😊

I made up the man sign with wiggly hair for my daughter's male friend with long, wavy hair. I had no idea this was actually a thing!

Everyone in the Isle of Skye will have no problem with a nickname from various sources. There's Lachie the Hoover....guess what he repairs ?! 😂 And Angus Poe ? He's a big laddie.

Hehehehe imagine your name being "hairy chest"😂

[dash-x]

Mine in ASL is the sign for cat but with the letter A.

[AD-jqow]

But he didn’t have hziry chest since birth..
So it’s just nicknames..
So the nicknames changes over time and with the group ?

I'm just really curious. If she was born deaf, how does she have a British accent? Don't you learn how to speak hearing the way people speak around you? Or is it just my imagination that she has a British accent?

[mzdeeify]

Deaf ppl have nick names for ther best m8s too!! Lol

[incription]

the one who speaks the best is the leader

[Chilipepper_SA]

Why can't it be your actual name?

[zhyku]
