How do you label a rod build?

I just finished wrapping a Thomas and Thomas 9wt Sextant blank. I'm happy with the build and hopefully will be coaxing some permit one day with it. What I'm wondering is how do I label it on the rod? I'm pretty sure Thomas and Thomas doesn't want to take credit for my build... : ), but I feel it should be labelled with their name and type of blank...similar to using a legacy taper for bamboo.
Any ideas?
I'm going to put ''Permit Sniper" on it in total arrogance.
Thanks,
Mark

Excellent name! I name the rods I build too. "Huntress" for my daughter's 8wt, "Partner" for my best friend's first graphite rod, "Time Bandit" for a 6wt for myself; that sort of thing. The rod brand and model, line weight, length, year built, and my initials, go on the rods too, on the other side from the personalized name.
