Hint : I have 4 siblings

Question

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

5 siblings instantly makes me think of vowels... oops that would make 6 of us — humn, Jun 29 '17 at 08:08
@BrianRisk yep i just gave it to confuse you guys!! Why you tried calling is it? — starkgurl, Jun 30 '17 at 01:30
@starkgurl It might be a good idea to alter that fake phone number so it falls within 555-0100 to 555-0199, which is a special subset of phone numbers intended for fictional phone numbers in the USA. — Nzall, Jun 30 '17 at 07:55
Just want to point out that the communist fist (and most other fist/punch motions) appear more like this https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2a/Fist.svg/720px-Fist.svg.png which is with the thumb over the hand. This is the sign for S not A. — n_plum, Jun 30 '17 at 15:05

Dunno if it's relevant, but "Are you sure" = "Are ya" = "Arya" – Joe Jun 29 '17 at 13:44
The communism fist could be the 'A'? Although it's definitely more 'S' – nmjcman101 Jun 29 '17 at 14:06
@Joe haha i never thought of it!! but sureeee! – starkgurl Jun 29 '17 at 14:26
@starkgurl That was my first thought, but I failed my google search (only saw open hands when searched for USSR salute) – Styx Jun 30 '17 at 06:57
Is there any meaning behind the phone number? – Wojowu Jun 30 '17 at 08:45
@Wojowu nope, its just to confuse you guys! haha – starkgurl Jun 30 '17 at 09:51

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).
