Even block letters in paint would be better than a permanent magic marker. I recommend you sand that signature off and give it a go, with paint.

Here's what I do: Let the background layers dry. Wipe linseed on the area where the signature will go. Wipe most of the oil off. Draw a horizontal line with a ruler about an inch below where the signature will be, as a guide. Sign the painting. Mess it up, wipe off the messed-up letters and repaint them. Mess it all up again, wipe the whole signature off and sign it yet again. Finally satisfied with signature. Wipe off the horizontal guide line. Let signature dry.

You can do it!
