A. To prove that your charming child does indeed have the name-of-the-day, the Gold Standard is something with their name and picture on it, like a school lunch card or a Looney Tunes passport. A good second bet is their Library! card, their birth certificate or even some artwork that they signed. 

Basically, if you make an effort to prove to us that you had the foresight ___ years in advance to pick today’s name for your child, and you follow the other three IYD rules, identification won’t be an obstacle.

Q. How we choose the names for It's Your Day.

A. Besides whimsical choices or names requested via comment cards, each It’s Your Day participant gets to nominate a name. Also, a Flying Pie fan created a website called FlyingPieNotifier.com, on which you can request a name and be automatically notified by email when it’s scheduled!
