Lincoln is seven letters with two tall letters (the l's) framing the name and the tricky nc and ol connections in the middle. The capital L opens with a graceful loop, and the name has a dignified look when written well. The co transition requires you to change from a curved to a round letter smoothly.

These letter pairs need extra attention. Here's how to connect them smoothly.
The capital L's loop guides into the i. Dot the i after finishing the entire name.
The n's final hump exits at the midline and curves into the c. The c opens to the right, so keep the transition smooth.
Close the o completely, then push up into the second l's tall stem. The height change is the biggest in the name.
Break it into Lin-coln for practice. Each half has its own challenges.
The two l's should be the same height. They bookend the interior letters nicely.
Dot the i after writing all seven letters. Do not interrupt your flow mid-name.
