About these pieces
A new baby gift for the nursery wall: the baby’s name, cut from wood and mounted.
Parents look at it during those 3 a.m. feedings. It’s the piece that makes the nursery feel intentional instead of just furnished. Soft wood, clean laser-cut letters, finished by hand. Baltic birch, walnut-stained or hand-painted. The baby won’t care what it looks like for the first six months. You will.
We make each sign to order. Your baby’s name, cut just the way you spell it, shipped ready to hang in 3–5 business days.
Each name sign includes its hanger, so there’s no trip to the hardware store and no guessing whether the hanger will hold the weight.
How to choose: for a round, hand-painted piece with a small parade of animals, the Safari Baby Name Sign works. If you’d rather a name in solid script with no animals, the Walnut-Stained Nursery Name Sign is the plain-wood version of the same idea. Sorting the closet before the baby comes? Safari Nursery Closet Dividers pair with either sign and tag each size with its own animal. For something the baby can actually hold once they’re older, the Wooden Name Puzzle grows with them past the nursery.
Who it’s for: baby shower gifts, birth announcements, and parents furnishing the nursery themselves. All are made to order, so there’s no rush to pick before the name is finalized.
Still deciding between styles? Our nursery name sign guide walks through painted versus plain wood, where to hang it around the crib, and what to engrave beyond the first name.
New Baby Name Signs questions
How wide will a name sign be?
The Walnut-Stained Nursery Name Sign runs about 12 to 20 inches wide depending on the name, and it is half an inch thick. The Safari Baby Name Sign is a round backer that scales with the name, in three sizes: names of 3 to 5 letters, 6 to 9 letters, and 10 to 14 letters. Each product page lists the dimensions for the size you pick.
Can I add a middle or last name?
On the Safari Baby Name Sign, yes. It has a second-line field for a middle or last name. The Walnut-Stained Nursery Name Sign has one name field, so it carries a single name.
Is the Wooden Name Puzzle safe for a baby?
Not for a baby. The puzzle has small, removable wood pieces that present a choking hazard, and it is not intended for children under 3 without adult supervision. It suits toddlers old enough to handle small parts without mouthing them, generally 3 and up.
Will it arrive in time for a baby shower?
We send a free digital proof within 24 hours of your order and start cutting once you approve it. The signs and the puzzle ship in 3 to 5 business days after approval; the closet dividers come as a set with no name to add, so they ship in 3 to 5 business days after the order. USPS delivery typically takes another 3 to 5 business days within the continental US. Order three weeks before the shower for a comfortable window, and message us first if the date is closer than two weeks.
