About Namedat

This site combines data and design in an artistic way to make it fun and interesting to learn about names. We currently have data for the following name types:

• Dog Names
  • You can browse national, state, and some city-level data about dog names by clicking on the links on the homepage or page headers that say Dog Names. You can also use the search box if you already have a dog name in mind. This data is pulled daily from adoptable dogs in need, and we hope that it can serve to help these dogs find new loving homes.
• Cat Names
  • You can browse national, state, and some city-level data about cat names by clicking on the links on the homepage or page headers that say Cat Names. You can also use the search box if you already have a cat name in mind. This data is updated daily with adoptable cats in need, and we hope that it can serve to help these cats find new loving homes.
• Human Names
  • You can begin by using the search box to type in a first and last name. Available name combinations will be suggested below the search box – please select one of the suggestions and you will be taken to a page that displays data about that name. As noted clearly at the top and bottom of these types of pages on the website, “THIS SITE IS PROVIDED FOR FUN AND SHOULD NOT BE INTERPRETED AS PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT AN INDIVIDUAL.” This data is sourced from the U.S. SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION and USER SUBMISSIONS.
• Articles and Bio Pages
  • Occasionally, if the community has provided or requested information about a topic or public figure, we may also provide pages that offer in-depth information about the individual. Some examples include John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and Aretha Franklin. We also post articles to the blog that we hope you will find interesting and relevant to the many facets of names.

We hope that you enjoy using our website and find it fun and interesting!
