How do you feel about your child wearing their names on their clothes?
I am really anal about my kids safety as we all are. I remember telling my daughter about strangers and how they are not ugly. For Christmas that year (a few months after the talk with my daughter) my sister gave her the cutest pony tail holders that her name on them. When I got them home I threw them away and bought some pretty ones without her name on it. It seemed at the time that I looked at these pony tails how she could be away from me and a stranger could call her by name (seeing it in her hair) and she would no longer see this stranger as a stranger.

Well I have a son, and it isn't as typical for them to wear their name on something, or at least I don't think so.. unless they are a tiny baby or on sports jersey. I am very picky about my son. So picky, that I won't allow him to go into the men's room, unless it is one that only accommodates one person.
I have to say that I didn't really think about this until your question, which I think is a really good one. Plus it's an eye opener. I can see your point and I don't think it's a good idea. I mean the chances might be far and few between, but after seeing something like this, who could blame you....

I think you should speak up to people and tell them why you don't allow your child to wear her name on items. This might open their eyes. I know that the hospitals had to stop giving out those "new baby" signs. This because it invites kidnappers to your home to steal your new baby.
I think people should also refrain from posting pictures and personal information about their children on myspace and facebook. I know people who have allowed their 5 and 10 year old to create their own pages... which I am sure is against TOS. It's a crazy world out there. You can't fully protect your children, so you should allows keep open communication with your children as well. I had some really scary things happen to me in the past and some of my friends. I know first hand what crazy people are out there. I tell my son at least once a month to tell me if someone touches him here or there, and I also ask him.
