I used to believe that there eas a huge book with all the names and surnames of everyone of your city at the public library. At the left of the name there was a mark that was your signature. One day, when you were old enough to sign things your father had to take you to that book and you had to spend some time looking at your signature. I never thought it the signature was something you could simply make up!
