We used 6" lettering from FastSign. We went through their books and picked
a font and color that we liked. They delivered the name made up with a
backing paper that just peels off as you apply the name. Very easy.

There is a so-so picture where you can sort of see the name and maybe
get some idea of how 6" lettering looks:
