Buy nametags? My mother, and I once old and (semi-)skilled enough, embroidered initials onto labels or seam allowances (yup, my school uniform had decent seam allowances as it was homemade). I still do this.

Cash's nametapes were to my mother the symbol of middle-class profligacy and decadence.

We had to embroider our initials on our gym shirts and skirts too, although they were always to be somewhere visible and approximately 2 inches high. This tended to be done to first year gym uniform but never again afterwards, so I wonder if part of the reason was to help the teachers learn who was who.

Yup. We did that, too (shorts, tho', we woz modern). Or were meant to, but I was the only one that had. (Or maybe that was the parental fear of my losing something coming out again.)
