Interesting how some of us struggle with the easiest part of being an artist. After having tons of trouble signing a rather long name, 13 letters in oil, I have been using a fine tip pen that is specially formulated for autographs on sport balls. It allows for full writing control, doesn't smudge and so far has not faded either. I don't date my work, but on some pieces the wooden support on the back will include a poem or a thought that led to the creation of the work. This ensures that people don't make wrong assumptions about what my objectives were.
Patt, I would use Patricia Legg. It sounds nice and people should recognize your work and it's creator by the full name.
