A one-of-a-kind book for a one-of-a-kind child

Each letter will conjure up a different character, and so each story is completely unique to the child it’s been created for. This customization makes them feel excited and special. Above all, it makes them feel seen.

FAQs for How You Got Your Name

It’s all structured around the letters of your child’s name, which means every book is entirely unique. Each letter represents a personality trait, so the story is driven by each child’s particular set of letters. A child named Charlie, for example, will collect entirely different personality traits and meet entirely different characters along the way than a child who is named, say, Bobby.
