I tend to mark on effort as well - if I can see a kid has really tried even if what they've handed in isn't especially 'polished', I'll give them a decent grade.
But I've just marked a set where I've got more without names than with. What the fuck are the Primary schools DOING? I'm sure I had it drummed into me to PUT MY NAME ON THINGS!
It's such a pain, because although I've marked the work, I now have to wait until I see those kids to find out whose it is so that I can record the marks.
