Sign for Milton Keynes?

[Cavysqueak]

Can anyone show me the BSL sign for the place 'Milton Keynes'. As a local I would imagine that fingerspelling 'M' and then 'K' would do it - as the locals all call this place MK. I've searched and can't find any official answer, so your input is very welcome 😊

To sign "Milton Keynes" in British Sign Language (BSL), you typically follow these steps:

1. "Milton": You can sign "Milton" by using the fingerspelling for "M" and "K." Hold your dominant hand in a "M" shape and touch it to the side of your forehead or chin, similar to the sign for other place names.

2. "Keynes": For "Keynes," fingerspell the letters "K," "E," "Y," "N," "E," and "S" in BSL.

Place names in BSL are often fingerspelled, especially for specific towns or cities. However, it's good to note that sign names can vary depending on the local community or individual preferences. You could also check with a local BSL user for more details or a possible regional variation!
