Best Answer

You sign your name as you can't be "on behalf of" if you sign someone elses name!

But the 'pp' precedes the person you are signing for. For example:

Yours sincerely

Your signature

pp Name of person signed for

Yes, you sing your name.

But the pp precedes your signature, not the name of the person you are signing on behalf of. Although not everyone agrees! See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procuration
