To sign 'hello my name,' you will combine three distinct signs. First, sign 'hello' by bringing a flat dominant hand to your forehead and moving it outward like a salute. Next, sign 'my' by placing your flat dominant hand flat against your chest. Finally, sign 'name' by extending the index and middle fingers of both hands (like 'H' or 'U' handshapes) and tapping the fingers of your dominant hand crosswise over the fingers of your non-dominant hand twice.
Sign 'hello my name' as described, and then immediately fingerspell the letters J-O-H-N. In ASL, you do not need to sign the word 'is'.
Start with the phrase 'hello my name', fingerspell S-A-R-A-H, and finish by signing 'nice' and 'meet you' to complete the introduction.
You can shift your shoulders slightly to indicate you are quoting someone else, then sign 'hello my name' and fingerspell M-A-R-K.

No, you do not. ASL grammar does not use 'to be' verbs like 'is' or 'am' in this context. You simply sign 'hello my name' and then immediately fingerspell your name.
To sign 'me' or 'I', you point directly at your chest with your index finger. To sign 'my' or 'mine', you place your entire flat palm against your chest to show possession.
Absolutely! If you have already waved or greeted the person in another way, you can skip 'hello' and just sign 'my name' followed by your fingerspelled name.
