To sign 'names', form both hands into 'H' or 'U' shapes, with your index and middle fingers extended and held together. Hold your non-dominant hand in front of you, and cross the fingers of your dominant hand over the non-dominant fingers to form an 'X' shape. Tap the fingers of your dominant hand against the non-dominant hand twice.
To sign this, point to the people you are asking, sign 'names' by tapping your 'H' hands together twice, and then sign 'what' while furrowing your eyebrows.
Point to the group of people, sign 'names', and then sign 'forget' by wiping your dominant hand across your forehead and pulling it into an 'A' handshape.
Sign 'paper' by clapping the heels of your palms together, then 'write', point to the group, and finish with the sign for 'names'.

Often, the sign for 'name' and 'names' is exactly the same. To emphasize plurality, you can sweep the sign slightly across your body, or simply rely on context and pointing to multiple people.
Your dominant hand should always be the one on top. If you are right-handed, your right hand will tap on top of your left hand.
It is helpful to mouth the word 'names' while signing, especially when distinguishing between singular and plural if you are using the exact same movement for both.
