Cursive Name Tracing
Free. No ads. No sign-up.
Type a first name to see it written in joined cursive letters. The first row is a solid model with numbered stroke arrows, the next rows are light gray copies to trace, and the last rows are left blank for writing the name in cursive without help.

A name in cursive, from model to blank row
The sheet keeps the capital at the start of the name and joins the lowercase letters after it, the way a cursive signature is written. On every cursive sheet on this site the copies to trace are light gray lines instead of dots. Ages 3-4 draws the tallest letters and Ages 7+ the smallest, and a long name is made smaller until it fits the row. For the same name in print, use the name tracing generator on the home page; for single letters, the cursive alphabet page has every letter from A to Z.
Three examples
A first name in cursive at the Ages 5-6 size, with numbered stroke arrows on the model row. 
The largest size, Ages 3-4: taller letters and fewer rows. 
The smallest size, Ages 7+, on A4 paper. Stroke arrows start off at this size.
Questions and answers
How do I write my name in cursive with this?
Type the name in the box. The sheet shows it once in solid cursive with numbered arrows for each stroke, then as light gray copies to trace over, then blank rows to write it alone. Print it, or download the PDF.
Is the name saved anywhere?
No. The name is sent only to draw the sheet and is not saved or logged on this site's server. The PDF's file name includes the name.
Can I make cursive name sheets for a whole class?
Yes. Under Class set, type up to 30 first names, each on its own line or separated by commas, and download one PDF with a cursive page for each name.
Why are the copies gray lines and not dots?
On every cursive sheet on this site, the copies to trace are light gray lines. The print name sheet on the home page uses dotted letters instead.
Is this a cursive font converter?
No. It makes a worksheet to print and trace, not text to copy and paste. To see the cursive letters one at a time, use the cursive alphabet page.
