It took me an inordinately long time to understand that you were writing
"henry". (But that's me) None of your attempts look like anything but
"Fwnmy" to me. Of course, I realize that I am no rose geranium myself,
and many people can't tell WHAT my drawings are supposed to depict. But
that's another story.

To get back to your signature, I'm intrigued with the three line one.

  __          _  __
 |__  /\  |\ | ><  |__|
 |  |_><__| \| \/   __|

I will make an attempt at alteration.

Here we are back at five lines:
  __
 |         _   _
 |__  /\ |V | | > /|__|
 |  |_><_|  |_| \/    |
                    __|

and three:
  __       _   _
 |__  /\ |V | | > /|__|
 |  |_><_|  |_| \/  __|

.
          ___ 
        _/   |===%^,    Hmmm, NOW 
       |_____|  __\/>     it looks like
         ---  ==     >      "famry" to me.

I guess I'm not much help....
