Names are done by fingerspelling, as there aren't direct signs for names, until you get a personalized nick by an ASL friend or acquaintance.
Here is how Megan is done (all of this is with your dominant hand):
M - Make a fist, put your thumb under your first three fingers so it peeks out above the pinky.
E - Bend all of your fingers and your thumb at their middle joint and point the tips of your fingers and thumb into your palm.
G - Curl all but your pointer and thumb into a fist. Hold your pointer and thumb parallel to each other and pointing towards your other arm. The thumb is behind your pointer finger as your pointer faces the person you're signing to.
A - Make a fist with the thumb on the outside of your fingers out to the side and pointing straight up. The rest of your fingers point towards the ground.
N - Make a fist with your thumb under your first two fingers so it peeks out above your ring finger.
