Email hello@namepairings.com for corrections, suggestions, or partnership questions. We read everything and usually reply within a few days.

Reporting a name that's tagged wrongly

If a name's origin, style label, or syllable count looks off, include the name itself and what you think it should say instead — that's the fastest way for us to check it and fix it. Syllable counts on names with silent letters or unusual spellings are the most common source of mistakes, so if that's the issue, telling us how you actually say the name out loud helps more than a written explanation.

Suggesting a name we're missing

If you searched for a name and it wasn't on the site, tell us the name. New names get added in batches from Social Security data, so a name that's uncommon or recently popular may simply not have been added yet — a request from a reader is often what moves a name up the list.

Press, data, and partnership questions

For press inquiries, data licensing questions, or anything involving the underlying name dataset, email the same address and describe what you're looking for. We're a small independent studio, not a data vendor, so not every request can be accommodated, but we do read and reply to all of them.

What we can't really help with

We can't give an opinion on which name you should pick for your child, or tell you how a specific name will be received by family or a school — that's a personal decision the site is built to inform, not make for you. We also can't look up whether a specific name is legally allowed in your state or country; that depends on local naming laws we don't track.

Exercising a privacy request

NamePairings doesn't collect personal information from visitors in normal use — see the privacy policy for the full picture. If you believe personal information reached us some other way (for example, through this contact form) and you'd like it removed, say so in your email and we'll delete it.

Asking about a specific name's meaning

Most name-meaning questions are already answered right on the page for that name — many entries show a short meaning and origin alongside the pairing score. If you write in asking what a name means and it's already shown there, we'll point you back to it rather than repeat it by email; if it isn't shown, or looks wrong, that's exactly the kind of correction worth sending.

Advertising-related questions

If you have a concern about a specific ad shown on the site — it looked misleading, inappropriate, or unrelated to the site's audience — email us with the page it appeared on and roughly when you saw it. Ad placement and content is largely controlled by Google's ad network rather than by us directly, but we do follow up on reports.

If you're a parent, not a site owner or developer

Most of the mail we get isn't a bug report or a data correction — it's a parent writing in just to say a particular pairing helped them decide, or that a sibling set they landed on felt right. Those notes are genuinely welcome too; you don't need a specific problem to write in.

Reporting a technical problem

If a page won't load, the scoring tool gives an obviously wrong result, or something looks broken on your phone or browser, tell us what device and browser you were using and what you expected to see instead — that's usually enough to track down and fix.

Correcting a factual error elsewhere on the site

Beyond individual name entries, if you spot something wrong on the methodology page, a broken link, or a description that doesn't match what the tool actually does, that's worth flagging the same way — a quick note with the page and what's off is all we need.

Language

We currently reply in English only. If English isn't your first language, a short, plainly worded message still gets read and answered the same as any other — don't hold back from writing in over wording.

Following up

If a few days pass with no reply, it's fine to send a short follow-up — messages occasionally get missed, especially around a busy batch of corrections. A polite nudge referencing your first email is more useful than resending the whole thing from scratch, since it saves us the step of matching it back to your original message and re-reading the same context twice.

What happens after you write in

A person reads every message — there's no ticketing system or automated reply here. Corrections to name data are usually live within a few days of being confirmed; broader suggestions may take longer since they're weighed against everything else on the list.
