Look no further, we’ve created a list of 100 names for your The Elf on the Shelf

I know that when we introduced the Elf on the Shelf to our son a few years ago, we were immediately on the search for Elf on the Shelf names beyond Zart, Markle, Fisbee, because of course.

Elf on the Shelf History
Have you ever wondered how Santa knows who is naughty and who is nice? The Elf on the Shelf is the special tool that helps Santa know who to put on the Naughty and Nice list. As a parent, I love using mythical characters to keep my kids in line, haha.
The Elf on the Shelf is a book (with accompanying elf!), and serves as an interactive holiday hide-and-seek tradition. The Elf on the Shelf is really perfect for kids of all ages, and we started the holiday tradition in our home when Evan was 2-years old.
Where to buy Elf on the Shelf

We considered doing Elf on the Shelf this year, but decided to wait until our son is a little older (he will turn 3 next September). Pinned it for future reference.
We just got our first Elf on a Shelf, yet we haven’t named it yet. Thanks for the suggestions!!

We just got our Elf. Our daughter (4yrs) named him Rastiss.
I love the name list. We let our 4 year old name our elf and with no guidance she came up with mokee! Fun tradition
We have chosen the name Elle Noel. Already having a blast with our new family christmas tradition. Can’t wait to enjoy her for years to come.
I learned about “Rex ” my boyfriends nephews Elf about 3 years ago thought it was awesome this year I have 2nd cousins that live in VA, I’m in NC and Tom is their first Christmas pageant so I have a lil story with an elf on the shelf to give them. I have decided to pick the names for the time being but also tell them in my letter they can ask Santa to send Elf friends. I don’t have kids of my own yet but I coul only find the boy elf in stock and I bought a skirt so it can also be a girl. Since my cousins are 2 and 4.
So I thought I put in my note that I’m Rudy (boy elf) and that I have a sister (Eve) who’s been watching them and Im sorry I was late arriving but we’ve been so busy this year and we stopped on North Carolina an caught a ride with your cuz Meghann and I would give it to them after the Christmas Pageant. If anyone had any other ideas plz feel free to email me cuz I have a feel mom/dad will need a lil help too I’ve gotten some ideas but this is all new to all of thanks megahnn Mlw0824@yahoo.com. Merry Christmas !!!.
My kids elfs name is Jasper and Joyce is our other one. The kids love them.
Thanks Crissy!!!!
