  • Be Inspired by Christmas Cheer

    North Pole Naming Tips – The Elf on the Shelf

    Take a look around at all of the Christmas décor surrounding you for the perfect yuletide-inspired name. How about Holly, Jingle Bells, Poinsettia, Sugar Plum, Joy, Kris Kringle, Plum Pudding or Snowflake? Your North Pole visitor will love their festive name!

  • Get Creative

    Don’t want your Scout Elf or reindeer to be any Tom, Dick or Harry? Choose an unconventional name by taking inspiration from a candy you love, a word you’ve seen on a sign or an unusual name or place you’ve read about in a book! Children can even try closing their eyes and naming their elf, reindeer or Saint Bernard after the first thing they see when they open them.

  • Pick More Than One

    Many elves, Saint Bernards and reindeer have more than one name. You can choose a first, middle and last name for your elf or Elf Pets® friends to appease as many members of the household as possible.
