How to pick the right name

Know the room

A joke tag that lands at a birthday party may not suit a client meeting. Save the silliest ones for friends and family.

Keep your real name visible

Write your actual name in small letters underneath so people can still introduce you properly.

Shorter is funnier

People read a name tag in one glance. Two to five words land best.

Turn it into a game

At a party, hand out blank stickers and let each guest write a funny tag for the person next to them.

Save this list for later

Pin it to a naming board, or tap the heart next to any name to keep it in your favorites on this device.
