Or should I just sign my own name?

That is fine or you can sign "Mary Doe". You should have proper identification with you. If you are an authorized user there is no problem. Spouses are assumed to be authorized users. If I am in a hurry, I just scribble it. The signature is to protect the company by discouraging forgeries. Often the sales is registered electronically and the account is probably debited before you leave the store.
A problem occurs if the holder disputes the item on the bill and states the signer was not authorized. Then it is worked out between the company and the cardholder.

Technically, the retailer can turn you down for this. It would be as if you stole the credit card. If you were added to the account, you would receive a card with the same account number, but your name on it. That would be the best thing to do...to ask your husband to add you to his account.
The only time it doesn't matter is when you are ordering online. However, if your card were used online, you could always contest the charge.
Hope this helps.

You can sign your name unless contested by the cashier and as long as authorized by your husband or he can file a complaint with the credit card company and they'll get back at you.. But of course, that is unlikely for him/...

actually, you don't really need to sign anything. That's just something a store does in case you come back and say your card was stolen.
I would just sign your name... the clerks hardly check any more any how-

You should be signing his name. If someone is to really look at the card no matter wh you are they will decline you no matter who you.

No, only he can sign for purchases on his own credit card.
