    Default What Name Do You Use on Your Magic Band?

    Do you use your full name? First name or a made up name?
    Sounds silly, but I was wondering if there was a reason to use my full first/last name.

    .....I only had my first name. On most days, it's a miracle if I can remember that ...let alone a fictitious one.

    I was actually wondering this myself. We put our legal first names on ours for our upcoming trip, but my DH and I never go by our legal name. I thought if there was a problem, we would want to prove they were ours.

    I saw someone used "Iger Stinks" (just didn't use stinks LOL), and that exact name was printed on the box and band LOL....

    TRICIA JONES: I heard that you were going to propose to Brandi Svenning at some theme park. When are men going to learn that women want ROMANCE, not Mr. Toad's Wild Ride...

    BRODIE: Hey, now, be fair. EVERYONE wants Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

    It's printed on the inside of the band, not the outside, so use whatever will help you keep track.

    I would suggest you use the name you want to be addressed as. Whatever you put on the band will be the name they will call you every time you swipe it.

    I had a friend who used "Princess" and that is what they called her! She loved it

    I used our first names for the boys and I. I did something different for DH. Years ago when I had gotten a new phone DH put in all my contacts for me. He put his as "Kevin is the man" as a joke. Ever since then his number is always listed under "Kevin is the man" even when I have gotten new phones. So to surprise him, and to keep the joke going, the name I put on his band was The Man. Lol.

    A little off topic, but the boys and I once took his phone and set it so that Suri would acknowledge him as "Kevin thinks he's the man". Priceless to see the look on his face, and the laughter from the kids and I, the first time he realized what we did.

    We used nick names. No big deal for us. Made the trip even more fun.

    I love it!

    We all used nicknames. My brother and his family used variations of a pirate theme (captain, firstmate, swabby, etc..)
