What's Your Elf Name

Hey there, bud! Whisky Jack here. Every guest at your Christmas party is about to become an elf, eh. Find the first letter of your first name, your birth month and your birth day, and put the three words together. Kate, born September 14? Say hello to Kringle Snugglebug Bobsled! With 26 first names, 12 middle names and 31 last names, my sign makes 9,672 different elf names, so even the big office party gets one-of-a-kind elves. Hand out the blank name tags and let everyone write their own with a little flair, for sure.
