Frequently Asked Questions
- How many names should we shortlist?
- Five to ten works — enough choice without decision fatigue. Live with the shortlist a week before deciding.
- What about middle names?
- Pair a longer first name with a short middle (or vice versa) for rhythm. Test the full name, including surname, aloud.
- Should popularity matter?
- Only personally. Top-10 names mean shared classrooms; rare names mean lifetime spelling. Neither is wrong.
