nametree

The nametree reports

Two letters, for the two moments of naming.

The free app is the whole journey: it takes you from "no idea" all the way to a name you love, and nothing about deciding sits behind a paywall. The reports are for families who want depth, and naming has two very different moments of wanting it. Early on, one name catches you and you want its whole story. At the end, a shortlist has to become the name. We write a letter for each. Both are made the same way: frontier-model intelligence working over our proprietary matching engine, our curated name data, and a century of real records. No general chatbot has any of those. Every claim traces to your names and to real records.

The Name Deep Dive · $3

For the moment one name has your attention. Maybe it is a namesake, maybe it just will not leave your head. One name, its whole story: where it truly comes from, how it traveled, its variants and nicknames across languages, its century in real records, and, if you have grown your tree, exactly how it reads against your family and your last name. Add a note ("named after my grandmother") and it is woven into the letter.

Buy it from any name's page, or from a name's card in the app. One name, one letter, $3.

The Family Name Report · $7

For the deciding moment. Your actual shortlist, written out at full length as a designed, keepsake-grade analysis. Think of it as the letter a wise friend who's known your family for years would write about your final names:

Three things go into it, and all three are yours: the finalists you chose yourself, the notes you wrote along the way ("after Grandpa Sebastián" makes it into the letter), and our matching engine's full reading of your family. We never pick your shortlist for you, and the report is not a template with your names pasted in: every page is computed from your family's own names, so the same shortlist reads differently for a different family.

Goes deep on up to 12 finalists; the best ones come from lists you have already narrowed hard. When your list feels like finalists, it is one tap away on the My list page. $7, one time.

Which letter is yours?

Start with a Deep Dive when you are curious about one name. Finish with the Family Name Report when the shortlist is real. No subscription, no account, and both can be gifted: the other family redeems whenever their own naming moment arrives.
