I believe that banks are indeed obligated to honor any appropriate
writing from you.  I am aware of at least one bank which charges
$10.00 to process any check that is not on a "standard" form.

Many banks will give you "stock checks" for free.  These are checks
without your name on them, printed as plainly as possible.  You will
probably have to bug them to get them to do it.
