To sign the name "Aiden," you will fingerspell each letter: A-I-D-E-N. Start by forming the letter 'A' with your dominant hand, keeping your palm facing outward. Smoothly transition through the letters 'I', 'D', 'E', and finally 'N', maintaining a steady pace and keeping your hand in a comfortable position near your shoulder.
To sign this, you would first sign 'MY', then 'FRIEND', followed by 'NAME', and finally fingerspell A-I-D-E-N clearly.
Sign 'A-I-D-E-N COME PARTY' while raising your eyebrows and leaning slightly forward at the end to indicate you are asking a yes/no question.
Sign 'I NEED CALL' and then fingerspell A-I-D-E-N. Make sure your fingerspelling is steady and visible after completing the sign for 'call'.

No, standard proper names like Aiden do not have a universal dictionary sign. They are always fingerspelled using the ASL alphabet unless the specific person named Aiden has been given a personal 'name sign' by the Deaf community.
As a beginner, you should always prioritize clarity and smoothness over speed. It is much better to spell A-I-D-E-N slowly, steadily, and clearly than to rush and make the letters difficult for your conversation partner to read.
No, you shouldn't insert deliberate pauses or drop your hand between the letters. Aim for a continuous, fluid motion as your hand changes from one handshape to the next, keeping your hand in the same general location.
