You have a very good handle on the situation . You know the pro's and con's of putting your name on a cue. I would say in this situation I would go ahead and do it, simple because of what you stated, it will deter you from selling it in the future.
I love buying and selling cues but I have one that no matter what it will be mine to the end. I met with a good friend a few week ago who was a very top tier collector. I had not seen him for quite a while and we were catching up. He told me he had sold all of his cues and now regrets selling off two he knows he has no chance of ever getting back.
So if putting your name on it will help you fight the urge to sell a special cue then put your name on it.
Good luck with whatever choice you make.

By the forearm, do you mean under the wrap? If you want to mark the cue as yours, maybe engrave the buttcap so it can be replaced easily if you do sell it.

Who buys a cue with in intention to re-sale it...and then puts his/her name on it? If you are needing to sell a cue to pay for your dog's surgery...maybe your priorities are misguided?

Yeah, seems like you know both sides of the argument. I wouldn't be opposed to it. I wouldn't want it on the forearm myself, but I kinda wish I'd have had my initials done in the butt cap of my Runde. It's not going anywhere.
I have a putter that was custom made for me that has my initials stamped in the face and I haven't regretted that.

When Dan Dishaw replaced the wrap on my Dishaw cue he asked me if I wanted my name under the wrap in case it was lost/stolen. I said yes.
Don't advertise your full name. The world is full of low-lifes and lunatics.
I never like to see anyones name or initials put on a cue, i think it diminishes the value. When I was in the market for a used cue I found a few I really would liked to have bought, but they had someone else's name engraved on the butt. However, this is a very personal choice everyone must make for them self.
Thanks pal. I appreciate that. He's still trying to figure it all out.

If you had to sale your cherished cue to make ends meet, then why would you intentionally ruin the resale value of a custom cue and have less funds in case of another financial emergency? Also, it would suck if you have your name on a cue that has failed to meet your expectations.
I doubt having your name plastered on the cue will deter thieves. Thieves are assholes who steal things just for the sake of stealing.
I hope your pup makes a full recovery.
