The what's-your-elf-name chart
The My elf name mode uses this chart. Find the first letter of your first name in the left column and your birth month on the right, and put the two together. The same letter and month always give the same name, so you can compare with friends and family.
For example, someone named Jamie born in December gets Jolly Snowdrift.

This chart was written for this site. If you've seen a different chart going around, that's normal; there are lots of versions and none of them is official.
It prints on one page, with nothing else from the site, so you can hang it up or hand it out at a party.
More ways to name an elf
Random mode pulls from a bigger list of festive first and last names. Dress up a name keeps a name you already have and gives it a holiday family name, sometimes with a title like Captain or Professor. Turn on Silly for pun names with the joke explained.
If you're naming a household elf for the season, the Elf on the Shelf names page has boy, girl, funny, and vintage lists plus a printable name card. Every result here also has a Make a card button that saves a square image you can text to family.
