Lani, a data nerd and indie developer, changed her name at 25 after growing up with one that carried offensive meanings in many cultures. That experience sparked years of research into naming patterns, popularity curves, and phonetic structures, and eventually a realization: machine learning could do what no human consultant can. It could scan tens of thousands of names, find hidden patterns in your preferences, and predict which ones will resonate with your unique style. So she built Naymt. The system creates your Style DNA, a fingerprint of your naming taste, then runs it through multiple AI and patterning layers that eliminate, rank, and refine until you get a list that feels like someone read your mind.
Data-driven, algorithmic precision meets personalized curation. Every recommendation is backed by pattern analysis, not gut feeling.
Your Style DNA analyzed through 6 AI layers. Receive 10 hand-picked names with Boss comments explaining why each matches your style. Delivered in under 3 minutes. Easily shareable, and every name links directly to its full page—meanings, origins, and trends without extra research.
The complete Naymt experience. 100 curated names ranked by fit, each with the full story: Boss comments, Senior reasoning, and Manager notes. Easily shareable, and every name is one click away from its full page—meanings, origins, and trends without the research. Delivered in under 3 minutes.
Free to create and packed with insights. Deep questionnaire captures your preferences, guilty pleasures, family traditions, sound preferences, and cultural roots. We analyze patterns in what you love to build your unique Style DNA fingerprint.
Your Style DNA runs through intense pattern matching: scanning thousands of names, sorting sounds and styles, parsing phonetic sequences, measuring statistical rarity, and matching to similarity clusters.
AI plays thousands of matching names against each other tournament-style. Running elimination rounds, assigning fit scores, ranking winners, comparing sound qualities, and flagging top candidates.
Manager layer gathers family context, integrates it into rankings, applies balance checks, and prioritizes high-cohesion name groups. Structures the Top 100 with reasoning notes.
Senior layer reviews style and family information, runs advanced context checks, validates cultural balance, and cross-checks against your Style DNA. Refines to 25 names with detailed commentary.
Boss layer selects the most resonant choices, checks hidden style factors, confirms phonetic balance, and narrows to the strongest 10 names with personalized explanations.
Full 100-name list delivered with consultant comments. Tap names to reveal reasoning. Share with loved ones, rank by swiping, add your own notes. The list is yours to explore.
