In {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}}, '''name glyphs''' are special glyphs which represent [[names]] rather than {{w|Common noun|common words}}. Unlike standard names in [[cartouche]]s, many name glyphs do not indicate pronunciation. |

An argument in support of name glyphs is the freedom of self-representation. By comparison, following {{tp|pu}}-style of [[cartouche]]s, a speaker might have very few glyph choices for a letter of their name, which might not resonate with them; {{tp|[[nasin sitelen kalama]]}} might increase their options. Name glyphs are the extreme case wherein the speaker can create an entirely new glyph to their tastes. |

Name glyphs can also be appealing when the name's referent already has a self-representation, such as a {{w|logo}} or {{w|Avatar (computing)|avatar}}. In the inverse of [[animal]] glyphs becoming popular characters in Toki Pona [[communities]], speakers may adapt their {{w|fursona}}s to the perceived {{w|art style}} of {{tp|sitelen pona}}. |

Name glyphs have been compared to {{w|name sign}}s in sign languages, which are used to refer to someone without {{w|fingerspelling}}. One distinction is that only Deaf people may assign a name sign, whereas presumably there is no issue with a non-[[Tokiponist]] designing their own name glyph. |
