To sign 'Jason', you will fingerspell each letter of the name: J-A-S-O-N. Start by drawing a 'J' in the air with your pinky finger. Then, transition smoothly into an 'A' (a fist with the thumb resting on the side), an 'S' (a fist with the thumb wrapped across the front), an 'O' (fingers curved to meet the thumb), and finally an 'N' (index and middle fingers folded down over the thumb).
To express this in ASL, you would start by signing 'MY' with a flat hand to your chest, then sign 'BROTHER', and 'NAME' by tapping your 'H' hands together. Finally, you would fingerspell the letters J-A-S-O-N clearly and steadily to complete the thought.
Begin by signing 'YESTERDAY' with your 'A' handshape moving from your chin to your jawline. Then point to yourself for 'I', sign 'SEE' using your 'V' handshape moving outward from your eyes, and finish by fingerspelling the name J-A-S-O-N.
Start by fingerspelling the name J-A-S-O-N to establish the subject of your sentence. Then, sign 'GOOD' by moving your flat hand from your chin down to your other hand, and conclude with the sign for 'STUDENT' (the sign for 'LEARN' followed by the 'PERSON' marker).

No, there is no universal sign for the name 'Jason'. In ASL, personal names are fingerspelled. An individual named Jason might have a unique Name Sign, but that is specific to him and must be given by a Deaf person.
No, you should avoid mouthing the individual letters J-A-S-O-N. Instead, you should mouth the full name 'Jason' naturally, exactly as you would say it in spoken English, while your hand does the work of fingerspelling.
The best approach is to focus on clarity and smooth transitions between letters rather than speed. As your muscle memory improves with practice, especially with common letter combinations like 'S-O-N', your fingerspelling speed will naturally and effortlessly increase over time.
