Use the same blocks (modified) on the back for his name. Extending the 4 squares to equal the number of letters in the surname or first name which ever is longer. Make 2 blocks. Add a letter into each square to spell the first name (use blanks to center the name). Repeat letters in second block for surname.
Explain to the requester that you could not add these modified blocks to the top and this was the best workaround idea.
Lovely job!

Thanks so much to all of you! You have given me a lot to think about! I would love to put his name on the back, but the grandma is very specific about wanting the name on the front. I tried to nudge her to agree to have his full name incorporated in a label on the back but that didn't hold water either. As of right now, I'm torn between Sue's shadowbox idea which would not make the quilt grow too much, or Tartans embroidery.... I so appreciate all the input!

Recycler - If she is insistent on having the name on the front, I agree with you that possibly the shadow box idea would work well or Tartan's embroidery idea on a few blocks.
Your quilt is very cute - love the bright colours!
