nametags?

[Jennifer Hurley]

Personally, when I attend an event I love having nametags with the first
name because I¹m so  terrible at remembering people¹s names that it¹s
insulting to people‹I love having the cheat sheet of name tags!  I think
sticking with first names‹no titles‹has the same leveling effect of no name
tags.
