It was/is very common for the Globetrotters to sign just their first names. I got quite a few, at the time, current players at the Hall of Fame inductions a few years ago and almost all signed just their first names. The challenge in identifying them is that some of the nicknames are picked up by newer players. There have been several 'Sweet Lou's' with the team, though Dunbar is the most important one. As I mentioned previously their website once listed the years they were with the team which made it easier to identify the signatures even with just a first name.
