For Christmas I spent hours getting XP so I could name chests for each of my friends on MC so they would have their own custom chest with their name displayed. Works great until you try to pick the chest back up and it loses its name. I even tried using a Silk Touch with no success.

Here was the thought, I named each chest for their Christmas present like this:

iRun's Xmas Box

I placed the chest and when you open the box it says iRun's Xmas Box but if you pick it up, even when using Silk Touch it reverts back to Chest or Trapped Chest.
