Founding customer offer · $149 one timeBring your current finalists or start from a tailored 15–18-name shortlist.

Exact spellings represented by 7,982 female- and male-birth-category records in the bundled 2025 U.S. Social Security Administration snapshot. 2,467 spellings also include an editorial meaning note.
The two SSA categories are reported separately. Absence is a source boundary, not proof that a spelling is unused or rare.
Some families want a bespoke, call-driven naming service; others want a practical way to decide together. We're not a consultant and we don't claim to be one. Names Done Right brings real data, constraint checks, a private partner tiebreaker, and optional tradition layers into a keepsake report at a clear one-time price.
Naming a person isn't a brainstorm.
It's a decision with a hundred moving parts.
Coming up with names is the easy part. The hard part is narrowing them fairly: checking fit with your family, surname, other children, and both partners' preferences. Names Done Right isn't a name generator — it's structured decision support for choosing together. Every Names Done Right report does all of this.
A shortlist made for you
A guided, pre-birth-first intake learns your taste, your no-gos, the sounds you love and the story behind them. You get a curated shortlist chosen for your family — not a generic top-100 list.
Real popularity, not a hunch
When a loaded source returns a record, you see its dated rank and derived trend. When it does not, we label that source boundary instead of turning absence into a rarity claim.
U.S. SSA + named international sourcesMeaning & origin, honestly
The commonly-cited meaning and roots of each name — with clear flags wherever a meaning is debated or uncertain. We never invent a prettier story than the truth.
The traps you don't see
Surname flow (the say-it-out-loud test), nickname options, the initials & monogram check, and sibling-set fit — so the whole name works, not just the first one in isolation.
A personal “why it fits you”
For each finalist, a warm, specific note tying it back to something you told us — your surname's rhythm, a sibling's name, a heritage you wanted honored. The part that turns a list into a choice.
The partner tiebreaker
You and your partner each privately rank your shortlist — on your own link, neither of you seeing the other's order until you've both submitted. Then we surface your shared favorites and the bridge names worth a real conversation, without ever taking a side. A free name generator structurally cannot do this.
A giftable keepsake
It all arrives as a beautifully designed report — read it on your phone, print it, or gift it to a grandparent-to-be. Something you'll actually want to keep.
Try a free Name Check.
Have one name in mind already? Run it through a free Name Check — an honest read on that single name: its popularity rank, sex category, and trend from official U.S. SSA data, how it flows with your surname, and the initials it makes. If no rank is returned, we say so without treating absence as proof of rarity. It's not a name generator and it's not a watered-down sample — it's a real, useful read on one name, so you can see how we work before you ever pay. Meaning and origin, nicknames, sibling fit and your full shortlist come with the paid report.
Free, no card, no obligation. We use your email only to send a copy of your Name Check and never sell it. If delivery is unavailable, we tell you here. See our Privacy Policy.
Like the depth? The full report covers your whole shortlist — and adds the private partner tiebreaker.
A structured path through a hard choice.
About ten minutes of intake. The rest is ours. Then your report arrives as a crafted, scheduled reveal by email — usually within a few hours of your completed intake. We show you the planned reveal time, so it arrives as an intentional moment rather than a raw instant dump.
Tell us your story
A short guided intake: your surname, sounds and styles you love, sibling names, any heritage to honor, your hard no-gos — and, if you like, a tradition to weave in.
We vet, with real data
Every candidate is checked against real popularity data and run through the full constraint engine — flow, initials, sibling fit, and any tradition you opted into.
Compare private rankings
You each privately rank the shortlist on your own link — your partner's is yours to share with them. Once you've both ranked, we surface shared favorites plus the bridge names worth talking through.
Your scheduled reveal
Your personalized report arrives at the scheduled reveal time we show after your intake. On the higher tiers, a printed book or hardcover heirloom follows in the mail after we confirm your mailing details. Yours to read, save, share, or gift.
Want a tradition woven in?
Some families want a name that nods to something older — a number, a star chart, a sacred syllable. If that's you, opt into any of these and we'll weave it through your shortlist, done properly and respectfully. If it's not you, leave them all off and your report stays beautifully secular. You choose: any, all, or none.
Numerology
Each name's number worked out by the classic letter-value methods, with what each number is traditionally associated with — and how a name's number sits with your family's.
Pythagorean & Chaldean letter-value systems · presented as a respected tradition, not a prediction.Western astrology
If you share a birth date, time and place, we read the sun/moon/rising and suggest names whose feel and sound align with that chart's character.
Computed from open Swiss Ephemeris data · a "chart-aligned feel" offered for reflection, never a prediction about your child.Vedic nakshatra naming
The traditional path: birth date, time and place → the Moon's nakshatra and pada → the auspicious starting syllable — so the shortlist honors the practice families have used for generations.
Drawn from the 27-nakshatra / 108-pada syllable tradition · named and credited, never whitewashed.Hebrew & biblical
Gematria name-values and the biblical/Hebrew roots and resonances of each name, for families who want that lineage reflected.
Traditional Hebrew gematria & scriptural sources · offered respectfully, as heritage.Prefer none? Perfect — that's the default. Most families never switch a tradition on, and the core report is complete without one. Chinese bazi is on the way Coming soon
Names Done Right's optional tradition layers — numerology, Western astrology, Vedic nakshatra naming, and Hebrew gematria — are offered as respected cultural and spiritual practices, for meaning, reflection, and connection to heritage. They are not science and not fortune-telling. Nothing here predicts or guarantees your child's wellbeing, future, or success, and nothing here is medical, financial, legal, or religious advice. The choice of your child's name is always entirely yours.
Data-grounded decision support, at a clear digital price.
A human naming consultant can offer a bespoke, call-driven service. We're not a consultant and we don't claim to be one — our product uses real data and your stated constraints, deterministic checks for factual details, AI-assisted synthesis, and a private partner tiebreaker to turn a difficult decision into a keepsake report.
You see the complete one-time price before checkout. No subscription, no custom quote, and no surprise add-ons for the core report.
Every number in your report is computed — never made up.
The fastest way to ruin a naming report is to invent a popularity rank or a confident “fact.” So we built it so that can't happen. Here's exactly how a number reaches your page — and how it's stopped if it can't be verified.
We compute it first
Every rank, trend and data year is calculated in code from official public data (U.S. SSA, plus international sources) — each figure pinned to its source and year.
The AI only quotes it
Our writer is handed those finished numbers and writes around them. It's never asked to produce a figure — so it can't invent one.
A final check re-verifies it
Before anything is sent, an automated check re-reads every number in the draft against the computed data. If one doesn't match, the report doesn't go out — it's rewritten.
Data checks before delivery
Your report runs through our data checks before it reaches you. Then it arrives as your scheduled reveal.
To be precise about what that covers: every factual number — ranks, trends, data years, and any numerology or gematria values — is computed and re-checked, never invented. Meanings and origins are stated as commonly cited and flagged where debated, never dressed up. We don't claim to be magic, and we'll never claim a name decides your child's future — we claim to be honest about every figure on the page.

🛡️ Try the free Name Check first
Before you spend a dollar, run a free Name Check — a real, in-depth look at one name. You see the quality and depth for yourself before you ever pay. No buying blind.
✍️ One free revision
Shortlist missing the brief — wrong constraints honored, a no-go slipped in, a tradition handled clumsily? Just reply and tell us what to change. We'll rework it, at no extra cost.
↩️ 14-day satisfaction protection
Tell us within 14 days if the work does not fit. We start with the included revision; unresolved quality or fit concerns are handled under the published policy and may include a partial or full refund. Non-delivery and materially off-brief work have the stronger remedies stated there.
📊 Facts are grounded, not guessed
Popularity figures come from the official U.S. SSA dataset and international sources, computed by code — never invented by AI. Meanings and traditions are flagged when uncertain. When a meaning is debated, we say so plainly — the honest read on your child's name, never an embellished one.
🔁 One-time purchase — that's it
You pay once. No subscription, membership, or auto-renewal, and we do not initiate recurring charges. Optional choices are not pre-ticked, and we don't run fake countdowns or “only 2 left!” pressure. If a tradition layer needs a post-birth nakshatra refinement once your baby arrives, that follow-up is free.
🔒 Checkout is secure
Payment runs on Stripe — your card details go straight to Stripe and never touch our systems. Stripe shows the merchant and charge details before you confirm payment.
We'd rather you judge us by the work than take our word for it. Read a full sample report before you buy, see exactly how we work and where our data comes from, and know every order includes one free revision and 14-day satisfaction protection under the published policy. Names Done Right is created by Barry Ram — a real owner, with a real inbox you can reach.
What we will never claim: that there's one guaranteed-correct name, that both partners will agree, or that a name decides your child's future. No honest tool can. The name is yours to choose; we provide a private, structured way to compare the options with real information.
Before you start
Is this AI?
Honest answer: it's a hybrid, and the split matters. All factual checks — including sourced popularity results, surname-flow, initials, sibling-fit, numerology numbers, nakshatra syllables, and chart positions — come from deterministic code and named datasets. AI assists candidate expansion, interpretation of your intake and feedback, ordering, and the warm “why it fits you” writing; it does not get to invent a rank or replace a missing source record.
Why that way? Because the fastest way to ruin a naming report is to invent a popularity number or a confident meaning. So we structurally don't let that happen — the AI is handed verified facts and told to quote them, never to make them up. That's the difference between this and asking a free name generator.
What's the free Name Check?
It's how you try the factual-checking layer before you pay — and it's not a name generator. Give us one name you're already considering and we'll return any dated U.S. SSA rank, source category, and trend available for that spelling, or a clear source-boundary note, plus surname-flow and initials if you provide a surname. Meaning, origin, nicknames, sibling fit, the full shortlist, and the partner tiebreaker are paid-report features. Free, no card.
The paid reports take it further — a whole curated shortlist instead of one name, plus the private partner tiebreaker — but the Name Check lets you see the depth and decide with confidence first.
Do I have to pick a tradition? Is astrology or numerology guaranteed?
No — and most families don't pick one. The default report is completely secular and universal: a great experience with no astrology, numerology, or religious framing anywhere. Traditions are optional layers you opt into — any, all, or none.
If you do want one (or several), we weave it through your shortlist, named properly and credited to its lineage. To be clear about what those layers are: Names Done Right's optional tradition layers are offered as a respected cultural tradition for meaning and reflection — not science, and not medical, financial, or legal advice; no outcome is guaranteed. Nothing about a name predicts or decides your child's future.
What am I actually paying for?
You're paying for a structured way to make a difficult naming decision: a detailed intake, real data, constraint checks, a private partner tiebreaker, and a polished keepsake report. We're not a consultant and don't claim to be one. Instead of a custom consulting engagement, we deliver a clear, one-time digital product built around your family and your stated constraints.
How do I pay?
Checkout runs on Stripe's secure hosted checkout. Your card details go straight to Stripe; we do not receive or store the full card number. Stripe shows the merchant and charge details before you confirm. It's a one-time payment, with no subscription or auto-renewal.
What if I'm not happy — can I get a refund?
You have 14 days from delivery to raise a quality or fit concern. We start with the included revision. If the work remains unsatisfactory after a genuine attempt to make it right, the published policy allows a fair resolution that may include a partial or full refund. Non-delivery and materially off-brief work have the stronger remedies stated there. Full details are in our Refund Policy.
Where does the popularity data come from?
Primarily the official U.S. Social Security Administration baby-names dataset — the national record of how often each name was given, going back to 1880 — plus international popularity sources. When we tell you a name's rank or whether it's rising or fading, that's grounded in real data, not a guess. Every figure is pinned to its data year so it's reproducible. We're an independent tool and not affiliated with or endorsed by any government agency.
How does the partner tiebreaker work?
It's the thing a free name generator structurally can't do. Once your report is ready, you and your partner each get a private link to rank the shortlist on your own — neither of you sees the other's ranking until you've both submitted (your partner's link is yours to share with them). Then we surface shared favorites, names quietly set aside, and the “bridge” names worth a real conversation. We never declare a winner or take a side; agreement is not guaranteed.
Can I see it before I pay?
Yes. Run the free Name Check on a name you're considering to see the source-grounded factual-checking layer before you're charged. You can also read our full sample report (a complete, clearly labeled fictional example) end to end. Every paid order includes one revision under the published policy.
Is this only for certain backgrounds or cultures?
No. It's built to be universal. The core experience works beautifully for any family — secular, religious, single-culture, mixed-culture, any market. A secular couple gets a fully secular report. A family that wants Vedic nakshatra naming, or numerology, or a Hebrew/biblical lineage, can switch that on. A mixed couple can blend. Whatever you bring, you get a respectful, rigorous report.
Will you promise me one “right” name?
No, and we never will — anyone who promises a single guaranteed-correct name is selling you a feeling, not a fact. The name is yours to choose. We provide real information and a private, structured comparison; we do not guarantee agreement or a particular emotional result.
Is my information private?
We use what you enter to build, deliver, and support your shortlist and report — including any birth details you choose to provide for an optional tradition. We don't sell your data. Stripe handles payment details; we do not receive or store full card numbers. Reach us anytime at care@namesdoneright.com; a real person reads and replies personally.
The name lasts a lifetime.
