Last week I met this guy who asked me for my number. I told him that I will tell him only if he answers one of my questions first. He agreed.

"What is the one thing common between China, North Korea and former Russia?".

"Communism"

"Are you sure?"

"No, fingers crossed!"

"Oh well. That's correct! My number is 555-0112. Call me."

"Hey wait! what's your name?"

I punched him in the face (p.s. very gently).

"There, I told you my name"

What's my name??

Hint 1:

I spelt out my name in the story

Hint 2:

Think sign language guys!

Hint 3:

4 letter name

    $\begingroup$ Just want to point out that the communist fist (and most other fist/punch motions) appear more like this upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2a/Fist.svg/… which is with the thumb over the hand. This is the sign for S not A. $\endgroup$

Your name is

Ryan

Although I'll have to admit, your hint was unbelievably helpful.

That's your name because

Fingers Crossed is R
Call me - thumb and pinky extended - is Y
Fist is A
And I extrapolated to N.

Inspired by Talal's answer.

Puncho
5 siblings = 5 fingers.
"I punched him in the face" hence Puncho.

.... or Chuck Norris.

Only through the power of people being wrong could I know how to be right.

SRYS

Five Siblings:

The manner in which one makes a fist is important for five sign language letters.

Letters:

Communist fist is the same as if you would punch someone. The only letter in sign language that looks like a proper punch is 'S'. R in crossed fingers, Y in 'call me' (making a phone gesture).

Your Name:

Arya (StarkGirl). In Game of Thrones one of Stark girl name was Arya Stark

Because it is a based on Sign Language:

Letter A - "common between China, North Korea and former Russia?"

Letter R - "Fingers crossed"

Letter Y - "Call me"

Letter A - "I punched him in the face"
