You can scribble your name, and if your bank has ATM deposits, no ID. You'll be getting a lot of checks, and the account is in both your names, right?
I used to sign D's names on checks, and my handwriting is nice, and his is a scrawl -- no problem.
As noted, Teppy, if you deposit it through the ATM they don't give a shit.

We don't have a joint account yet. We're still very roommate-y about money. ("It's your week to buy groceries!" "Well, I paid for the pets' vet trip, so I'm taking that out of what I owe you for August's bills!")
One of you would have to deposit it, though. I'm not sure I'd try adding your last name on the front, though -- I'd do what Laura suggested.
I'd say sign it, have Tim sign it, and deposit it into the ATM. See what happens. But you're going to want to get a joint account soon, because it will become a giant pain in the ass.
Just sign and deposit. It will not be an issue, IME.
I am officially a danger to myself. Last night in bed I stretched--just a normal, full body stretch--but I must have been at a weird angle, because I managed to PULL A GROIN MUSCLE. Seriously, my body is fired. I could barely walk today.

BoA gave us problems in person, but they have never given me a problem with the ATM deposits.
I asked a bank teller what to do about weird variations of my name, and he said to sign with the signature used on my account.
Hivemind question from CJ. He needs a children's book for his Sign Language III class but it can't be Dr. Suess. He didn't like anything I suggested, so I mentioned the hive and he said I should ask y'all. (Crossposted with Natter)
Mickey in the Night Kitchen?
erika, when do you meet the new guy/girl?
My boss' small business account is at Capital One. He's been depositing checks from one client for a couple of YEARS, at least once a month. They wouldn't deposit one last week because "four" was misspelled and the date was in a different color ink. We drove down the road to an all drive-through branch and it was fine. He's had problems with ATM deposits, too.
