or, the right side is preferred because most corporations/orgs have their logos put on the left side and a nametag on the left balances things out.

and then most, if not all, greeks put their pins/crests/shields on the left over the heart, so i prefer to put my nametag either above the pin or on the right. just depends on how i feel.

i understand what your take on this is. i was taught right side twice; once at a leadership school program and once at a corporate event.

and i even sort of ran a test on it. for some reason i was in a rather hi-end hotel twice within a week or two. and the first time i spoke to customer service manager on some rather minor matter. at the end i suggested that she move her name tag and gave her the reason. next time i was in hotel, she stopped me in order to thank me for my suggestion. she told me that more people were calling her by name and remembering her. and that she passed the information up to her superiors.
