To sign the name "Jorden," you will fingerspell each letter: J-O-R-D-E-N. Start by tracing the letter "J" in the air with your pinky finger. Next, form an "O," cross your index and middle fingers for "R," point your index finger up for "D," rest your fingertips just above your thumb for "E," and finally tuck your thumb under your first two fingers for "N." Keep your hand in a comfortable, steady position around shoulder height.
Sign 'MY FRIEND NAME', then smoothly fingerspell J-O-R-D-E-N to introduce them.
Fingerspell J-O-R-D-E-N, then sign 'COME PARTY', making sure to raise your eyebrows at the end to show it is a yes/no question.
Sign 'I NEED TALK', then fingerspell J-O-R-D-E-N. Keep your hand steady while spelling the name.

Yes, unless Jorden has been given a specific "name sign" by a Deaf person. Until then, you should always fingerspell their name.
No, try to maintain eye contact with the person you are signing to. With practice, you will develop the muscle memory to fingerspell J-O-R-D-E-N without needing to watch your own hand.
Clarity is much more important than speed. Focus on forming each letter (J, O, R, D, E, N) clearly and smoothly. As you get more comfortable, your speed will naturally increase.
