Privacy

Your last name, your email, or an account. There's nothing to sign up for.

Anything that ties a name to you. There's no account and no cookies, so nothing connects your visits or says who looked up what.

Names you favorite are saved in your browser's own storage. They never reach us, and they don't follow you to another browser or device. Clearing this site's data in your browser removes them.

The last few names you looked at are kept the same way, so the home page can show them again. Use Clear beside them on the home page to forget them.

We count which parts of the site get visited (Popularity, Story, Hear it…). The name you looked up is left out of these counts.

Name Pop is hosted by Vercel.

Vercel keeps the visit counts, plus a log of which pages were delivered (not persisted), which is how we spot problems. Because the name is part of the page's link, that log includes it, but nothing in it says who you are.

Everything else, like the name data, fonts and voices, comes from Name Pop itself, so no data is shared while you look around. That includes the real people's recordings in Hear it: we copied them from Wikimedia Commons ahead of time.

The name you're looking at is part of the page's link. You can send the link to a partner or friend and they'll see the same page, useful for finding names that pop! But it also means they'll see the name you've searched.

In other words, if you're looking at Wren and send the link, whoever gets it will know you were looking at Wren.

The Share button on each name reminds you of this before it does anything. It uses your device's own share menu or copies the link, so nothing is sent to us or anyone else.
