Oh my ghah I love monograms. Everything should be monogramed! My yankee husband doesn't get it, too bad! Initials please and I need to win this in order to not have justified yet another custom monogramed item.
No monogram for me!
I love having my inititals on different ideas. I love thirty one as well. Glad the thermal totes have been redesigned.
OMG, I love Thirty One! I went to my first party a few months ago and I had to hold myself back from buying and monogramming everything. So, needless to say, I'm all about the monogram–initials, please!

No monogram for me..I like names on things.
I think it depends on the product. If it were a tote for Jack, I'd want the name. If its for me, I'd say initial. If its a casual purse, initial, if its fancy, then no monogram. Ha, sorry to be difficult!

Ahhhhh monograms. How I love thee.
I would get my name…or my initials….or Sophia's name…or Sophia's initials. TOO MANY DECISIONS.
Ok I'll say my name, but I leave the right to change my mind.
Oooh! The organizing wallet with chocolate spots! And totally with my initials

TxCountryGrl87@windstream.net
I'm in love with the thermal totes and the boardwalk bags and the bibs and…well…all of it!
If it's for me I'd get my initials…I like the way it looks with the surname initial big in the middle and first and middle name initial on either side.
If it's for Samuel, then I'd put his name on it. I'd have to browse some more before making a decision.
I like initials!

I love thirty one! My husband works for the home office here in ohio so I'm always getting free stuff. =P I highly suggest the utility totes as diaper bags!
Definitely all about the initials. From my towels to my pillow shams to my son's Jon-Jon's it's got to be initials!
You know us southern girls have to have our initials monogrammed on everything!!!
I like the monograms! Looks very classy.
I would definitely go with initials!
Monograms for me! Cute stuff!
Initials on everything!
thejbuzz@comcast.net
I love a good monogram so definitely initials for me!!!
I'd love initials! I think a thermal tote would be great for Tillie's bottles!
I must be Southern at heart. I looooooove monograms.
Initials would be fantastic. Lucky for me, they stayed the same when I got married =)
So Cute! I love monograms! Initials for me…
Monograms are the best
Initials/monograms.
You know my email!
Monogram…..LOVE them
I like initials!

I love the initials! I have a Thirty-One bag that was a babyshower gift! I love it and all its pockets!
I like mongrams initals over full name any day.
I think I would go for either monogram if it is a solid color, but nothing on the prints. Either way, SO CUTE!
Cute stuff! I would go with an initial.
Depends on the piece. I think I'd go with full name…
initials!!
back story: before i got married- i never had a legit monogram because i didnt have a middle name. now that i am married- i am obsessed with getting my initials on things! yay monograms!!
I would say no monogram. That is only because I have a hyphenated long last name and it might look weird. CAW-K?? huh?? And my name on it scares me…like people will know my name and use it to talk to my kids. Nervous huh?? Love the bags and adding the site to my favs.
I love these bags! I would totaly do one with the monogram.
I like initials

I love monograms!!!!! on anything and everything!!!!
I'll monogram every available surface in a 100 mile radius. You're right- it must be the Southern Girl in me! My mother instilled the fear of God in me about having my full name on things as a kid. She was always worried a "stranger" would see it and use it to pretend that they knew me. It seems ridiculous to me in a way now, but I can't let go of the ingrained wrath of Momma fear!
So to answer your question- Monogrammed initials all the way!!!
Initials for sure!!
Love it! Nashville in the house!
Initials are my fave since my married last name starts with a P and it looks SO pretty monogrammed!
So cute- I would either do a monogram of our last name- or initials
Definitely my name! Having 4 names doesn't work so well with monograms!
i would definitely get my initials monogramed-I love personalized items!
I'm so far from being Southern, it's a joke but I LOVE me some monograms. After my son was born, I went a little wild with some of his stuff…and some jewelry for moi. I'm big a fan of initials, not so much my name.
Monogram for sure. Love your blog!!!
amandawilliams0101@yahoo.com
Monograms on totes and luggage make the old fashioned Southern girl in me dizzy! Love love love!
love the monogram or the name…mono for me, name for my little man!
MONOGRAM . . . all the way! LOVE IT!
initials dollface!
Monogram! Cant get enough of them! I have a ton of monogrammed things in our house.
Aww super cute! For me, I like initials but for Madelyn (my daughter) I would say her name!
I love initials! Mine with my married name are MM… same as Marilyn Monroe.
I think it's my southern roots (which are from my grandmother, how funny that it survived that many generations in California?)
And, I say y'all.
No initials please. The totes look cute!
I would love any of it with my monogram on it!
thewifeofscottspindler@gmail.com
Monograms for sure!!!! We too are in the south
You seriously find the best people to partner with for giveaways!
initials all the way, even though i'm a yankee. such cute stuff!
I am not even southern and I love a good monogram!
mallorywilson@comcast.net
Definitely initials!

i like the summer fun collection
I love the monogramming… initials if it's my name…or full name if it's for my daughter…yea… I'm weird
mrankin1724@gmail.com
Just my first initial. As a single girl, I avoid full monograms on stuff I plan to keep for while.
I heart thermal totes. They rock for tailgating (Roll Tide!).
Also, boo for the haters. You're making a little lemonade from life's lemons! I plan to add vodka to mine. Stop looking at me like that.
I think it totally depends on what I get. I wouldn't monogram a purse, but I'd totally monogram a thermal tote. The toddler backpacks are super cute too and that would HAVE to have my daughter's name on it!
OMG, as if I need another bag, but some of those are super super cute! If I was getting something for me I would probably just go with initials. If I got something for C I would go with his name.
monogram! nomnomnom!
Toooo cute! No monograms, please, please, please!!
I love the full name…. and the monogram
if we can get 4 initials in a monogram, that'd be super cool. (yeah, it's an english thing, we have to be difficult like that). otherwise, i'd keep it plain. but if it were something i was getting for the little man, i'd plaster his name all over it.
I LOVE Thirty-One! If I still received a salary for my work, I could spend soo much of it there!
That being said, it depends on the item, some things definitely need just an initial monogram, while some need your whole name 
Monogram please!
Ooooh I love this stuff
my email is alia85@hotmail.com
Definitely not my name, but I'd possibly consider a monogram.
It would depend on what I got I think. If it was for me, maybe not. If it was for my niece, definitely a name!
I just always wanted to BE from the South, so I'm going to go ahead and say yes on the initials.
Cute stuff.
No monogram for me, thank you:)
megantipton@sbcglobal.net
Initials all the way!
I have their thermal tote and love it! Actually brought it to the beach on Saturday to carry water and snackies
monograms are the best! initials for me please!
I love a good initial monogram. I think I got it either from a) being a southern gal or b) the fact that my father is obsessed with monograms (I don't think he owns a single shirt that is not monogrammed, other than basic t-shirts — the look on his face when, in high school, I ordered my first non-monogrammed backpack was utterly crestfallen). Genetics and environment have conspired to make me want to monogram everything.
ohhhh definitely initials!
I am all about the first name of my son. I love the cindy bag and would totally use it as a diaper bag, but I know a very special person in my life that is due with her first child in 3 months and would love a bag with her sons name on it.(She's my sister-in-law, and she is making me an aunt for the very first time. I'm excited can you tell!!!)
This southern girl too loves her monograms! Every bad my daughter has is monogramed with name or initials! I am an initial girl. This site has cute stuff!
jeremomissy@bellsouth.net
It's all cute, but I'd pick no monogram.
Ahh! Love this stuff! Monogram for me too, please!
Most definitely a fan of the monogram over here. Usually I'm all about the initials, but occasionally you gotta bust out with a name here and there.
Monograming is the way!!!
Love these bags!!
Even though I am from the south – I prefer no monogram – I love the look of many of those bags without it!

There are soo many cute things on that site! Being from the south (or at least my little bitty town) means you must have a deep love for all things monogrammed and Vera Bradley! I think it's developed in the womb!
Because my husband and I have the same initial, we rock like that. Initials are so fun!
Initials for me and names for the kids.

depends on the item, but monogram wins out…
Initials without a doubt!!! I LOVE IT!!!

Being a fellow southerner I am a fan of embroidery…period. Names, monograms, initials, you name it!
All things embroidered make my heart skip a beat. TEAM INITIALS.
