  • hone in on your preferences

The Name Slate does the research so you don’t have to. We guarantee that with our expertise, you’ll select the perfect name.

the team

A wife and husband team in Washington DC - Jessie (who has a knack and devotion for names) and John (who has a knack for data and analytics) - bring you The Name Slate. 

Jessie loves researching names and seeing trends evolve - they always do. She has been reading baby name books forever and keeping tabs on the most popular names. 

John’s background in data science brings an element of expertise to the naming process. He deciphers the wealth of information and data available on names being given to babies every year and turns that data into real options. 

They work together using their extensive knowledge on names backed by data to strike the perfect balance with your heartfelt preferences so you can feel confident in your choice. They do the research so you don’t have to and act as a neutral third party to support you in this important decision. 

Words have meaning, names have power.
