stitching your name on a finished piece?

What is everyone's thought of stitching their name or year on their finished piece?

I stitched a gift to my sister and I did stitch my first initial and my full last name. My last name is only four letters so I thought it wouldn't look bad at all. I felt more at ease if my finished piece ever went missing somehow that my name would be on it. http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lub0m5J8Is1qf290m.gif
