What you get from a single name

  • A title that uses the name. For example, "Sophia and the Tiny Moon Dragon" — generated, not picked from a list.
  • An illustrated cover. Storybook art created for that specific story.
  • Page one, written to be read aloud. Short sentences, a clear hook, and a calm bedtime rhythm.
  • Narration with read-along highlighting. Each word lights up as it's spoken.

How the name is woven through the story

The name isn't dropped into a fixed script. It anchors the main character, so dialogue, choices, and consequences all belong to that child. Later, when you add an age and interests, the story shifts around them too: a five-year-old who loves trains gets a different adventure than a nine-year-old who loves mysteries, even with the same name.

Names that make good story heroes

Short names

One- and two-syllable names read beautifully aloud and land well in repeated refrains.

Longer names

Longer names shine in titles. Narration keeps the pacing steady so nothing sounds rushed.

Nicknames

The name your child actually answers to gets the strongest reaction at bedtime.

Sibling pairs

Add a sibling in the optional details to make both children part of the same adventure.

Where the story goes next

The free preview covers the cover and first page. Making a free account unlocks the full multi-chapter story, saves it to a private library, and starts your child's story universe — the characters and places that carry over into every story after this one.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get a story with my child's name in it?

Type the name into the box above and press create. In about a minute you'll get a title, an illustrated cover, and the first page — with the name used throughout.

Does it work with unusual or non-English names?

Yes. The name is used exactly as you type it, including spelling and capitalization. Narration pronounces most names well; if a pronunciation sounds off, try spelling it phonetically in the optional details.

Can I use a nickname?

Absolutely — use whatever your child answers to. Nicknames often work better because they sound like the child's real life.

Can I make stories for siblings?

Yes. Create a profile per child and each one gets their own named stories and library. Siblings can also appear together as characters.
