Adding name on the top of signature line in footer

Question

I wish to add the name of my guide manually on the footer section for 'signature' on my document. I am using the document class report and this page constitutes the undertaking part of my thesis.

I am attaching the code for reference.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{xcolor}


\begin{document}
\begin{center}
    \textbf{\LARGE  CERTIFICATE \  FROM \ GUIDE}
\end{center}
\vspace{0.5in}
I certify that the thesis entitled \textit{"How to add the name on signature footer"} submitted by  mnuizhre for the award of SE degree, embodies original work done by him under my guidance.
\\

\vspace{2in}

\parbox{2in}{{\color{gray}\rule{1in}{1pt}}\\%
   Date}\hfill\parbox{2in}
%\\
{{\color{gray}\rule{2in}{2pt}}\\%
   Dr. Rorty Mick, \vfill Professor, \vfill Doofenshmirtz E Inc. \\\mbox{}} 
\end{document}

Above the line where Dr. Rorty Mick is written I want to type his name i.e. Rorty Mike since the signature of him is not available at the moment.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Here is a possible solution with some improvements in the code (quotes, for example).

Adjust the vertical spaces as you wish.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{xcolor}


\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\begin{center}\LARGE
    \textbf{CERTIFICATE FROM GUIDE}
\end{center}

\parbox[t]{2in}{%
Rorty Mick\\[-.5\baselineskip]
{\color{gray}\rule{2in}{1pt}}\\%
