They generally just scribble the name. Generally when I speak to support representatives and say that I got a delivery confirmation with a signature on it pretending to be mine they get extremely apologetic.

I don't know if it needs to state the name next to it, that's a good question, and may also depend on jurisdiction, but I would suggest that if a delivery signature was just writing a name then it wouldn't carry the necessary weight for proving receipt.
