Namely editorial team
How we create our baby name guides
Our guides help you explore names, compare choices, and use Namely with your partner. Hog and Mole Pty Ltd, the company behind Namely, publishes them.
AI assistance and editorial voices
We use AI to help research, draft, illustrate, and check guides. Scheduled articles go through separate automated writing and review runs. This process does not mean a human specialist has reviewed every article.
Names such as Clara Vale, Mina Rao, and Julian Park identify fictional writing voices. Their illustrated portraits are AI-generated. They are not individual experts or accounts of personal experience. These articles carry the Namely editorial team byline.
Sources and useful examples
Our editorial standard requires primary sources for factual claims, including name meanings, pronunciation, rankings, and product details. We link sources where they help you check the answer. Language and naming practices vary by place and community, so examples should state their scope.
Invented examples used to explain a decision are labeled hypothetical. Product instructions should reflect a released app version. A guide should give you a useful example or a clear next step, and add something beyond our existing articles.
Review and updates
Review covers the answer, supporting evidence, overlap with other guides, and how the page works on mobile and desktop. An article can be returned for revision even if its facts and formatting pass. We may improve an existing guide instead of publishing another one.
A material revision changes the article's updated date while preserving its original publication date. Our current standard took effect on September 6, 2026. We are reviewing older guides against it.
Corrections
If you spot an error, email hello@namelyapp.com with the page, the wording in question, and a source if you have one. We assess corrections against the relevant evidence.
For a name connected to your family's language or culture, use these guides alongside the people and authoritative resources that know that tradition.
