Josiah has the swooping capital J and ends with the tall h, giving the name a strong frame. The s-i-a sequence in the middle is all gentle curves. The ia connection before the final h is the spot to watch since those two small letters can blur together if you rush.

These letter pairs need extra attention. Here's how to connect them smoothly.
The capital J drops below the baseline and swings back. Catch the o on the upswing and close it fully.
The s curves to the right into the i. Keep the i clearly separate with its own upstroke and downstroke.
The a exits at the midline. Push up into the h's tall stem for a strong finish.
The h at the end should be tall and confident. It is the last thing people see.
Dot the i after writing the complete name.
The sia middle section is all small letters. Keep them evenly sized and clearly spaced.
