How it works

Three quiet steps to the right name.

No accounts to wrestle with, no jargon. Tell us about your family and meet names made for them.

  1. Tell us your family

    Your heritage and faith, the auspicious letter you’d like (or your child’s birth star), and whether you want a middle name.

  2. We find auspicious names

    Meaningful, culturally-right names in your family’s script — each with its meaning, its roots, and why it fits.

  3. Keep your favourites

    Save the ones you love, compare them calmly, and print a keepsake certificate for the name you choose.

The signature

Every name arrives on its own palm-leaf folio.

The full name sits in your family’s own script, sealed with its auspicious letter — a keepsake, not a list.

Questions parents ask

Everything you might be wondering.

Do you cover Tamil and Muslim names too?

Yes. We suggest names across Sinhala/Buddhist, Tamil/Hindu, Muslim and Christian/Burgher traditions, shown in the right script for your family — සිංහල, தமிழ் or Latin. You tell us your heritage and faith, and the names follow.

What is the “auspicious letter” or nakshatra?

In Sri Lankan tradition, a child’s birth star (nakshatra) points to one or more lucky first letters for the name. On the Pro and Ultra plans we can calculate that letter from the birth details; on any plan you can simply tell us the letter you’d like, and we’ll only suggest names that begin with it.

Is it really a one-time payment?

Yes. You pay once, in rupees, for your chosen plan — there is no subscription and nothing renews. Each plan simply gives you that many names to keep, with their certificates.

Can I get a middle name as well?

Absolutely. Ask for a middle name and each suggestion arrives as first + middle + your surname — the full name, on the folio and the certificate. If you’d rather keep it to a single given name, that’s the default.

In what scripts do you show the names?

The name is shown large in your family’s own script — Sinhala or Tamil — with a Latin caption and a pronunciation guide beneath. A name with roots in both cultures still renders in your heritage’s script, with a small “shared roots” note rather than a switched alphabet.

What do I actually receive?

A set of five names per attempt, each with its meaning, cultural significance and why it fits your family — plus the ability to save favourites and print a keepsake name certificate for the one you choose.
