Sign name question - deaf?

Question

I know it is unacceptable for anyone other than a deaf person to assign a sign name to a hearing person. What if the person has a Cochlear and is only just now learning sign language? Would it be acceptable for this person to assign a sign name to a hearing person?

Answer 1

well the person with a cochlear must have some sort of hearing loss so i guess they could give a hearing person a sign name.

Answer 2

In fact, it's expected that people will get a sign language name, as anybody expresses themselves in sign language.
