Introduce your elf
Once you have a name, put it in the arrival letter and pick an arrival idea for the first morning. The classic elf rules are worth a read too.
Questions
How do you pick a name for your elf?
Let the kids choose from three or four names you like, or let them vote at breakfast. A name that is easy to say is a name they will use every day.
Can the elf have a name already?
Yes. Many families let the elf introduce themselves in the arrival letter. Others let the kids pick a name on the first morning.
What are good names for two elves?
Matching pairs are the most fun: Jingle and Jangle, Cookie and Cocoa, or Holly and Ivy.
