This page explains how we write, check and update every guide on NamesGrill.
1. We start with the reader
Before we write, we ask: who is looking for this name, and what will they use it for? A clan tag needs to be short. A baby name needs a real meaning. A D&D name needs to fit its race.
2. We write our own names
We write names ourselves or build them from real words and open sources. We do not copy lists from other websites.
3. We check meanings and facts
When a name comes from a real language, a myth or a game world, we check it against trusted sources and link them. If sources disagree, we say so.
4. How we use tools, including AI
We may use software, including AI tools, to help with ideas or drafts. A person always checks every name, meaning and fact before a page is published, and adds their own judgement and examples.
5. We keep it friendly
We do not publish names that make fun of someone’s culture, religion, body or background. Fan pages are unofficial and text only; we do not copy art or logos.
6. We keep pages up to date
Each guide shows the date it was last updated. Seasonal pages, like fantasy football, are refreshed before each season.
7. We fix mistakes
If you spot an error, tell us here. We fix real mistakes quickly and note big changes on the page.
