Yes, you will generally fingerspell the name every time unless Klara has a specific 'name sign'. In Deaf culture, you always fingerspell a person's name until they are introduced with or assigned a unique name sign by a Deaf person.
No, you should not mouth the individual letters (K-L-A-R-A). Instead, you can naturally mouth the full word 'Klara' as you fingerspell it, just as you would say it aloud.
Clarity is much more important than speed. Focus on forming each letter clearly and transitioning smoothly. Speed will naturally develop over time with practice, but a slow, clear name is always better than a fast, messy one.
