# A song with your child's name in it

If you want a song with your child's name in it, there are three routes: look for an existing song that happens to use the name, swap the name into a song you already sing, or have a new song made about your child, with their name in the chorus and their own details in the verses. Here is what each gives you, and how we make the third one.

## Songs with kids' names already in them

If your child is called Lucy, Daniel or Sam, there are probably pop songs and nursery tunes with their name in the title. Children love hearing one, even if the rest of the song has nothing to do with them. For less common names, or names from another language, there may be nothing at all, and the songs that do exist were written about someone else.

## Swap the name into a song you know

This costs nothing and works better than people expect. Take a tune your child already knows and put their name where a word with the same number of syllables was. A two syllable name like "Mila" fits where "little" fits; a one syllable name like "Finn" can be sung twice. Add one true detail, like "Finn has a red truck", and you have a song about them.

The limit is that you have to remember the words, and other people (a grandparent, a sitter) will not sing it the same way. If you want to try writing a whole song yourself, our guide on [ways to get a personalized song for a child](/guides/personalized-song-for-a-child-options) compares doing it yourself with the other options.

## What makes a name song feel like theirs

The name alone gets a smile. The details are what make a child ask for it again. When you fill in the form, think about:

- the nickname you actually use at home ("Neevy", "Bug", "Little Bear");
- a pet, a toy or a food they are slightly obsessed with;
- a funny habit (says "again!" after every song, sings to the toy kitchen);
- who loves them: a big sister, grandparents, the dog.

Three or four of these is plenty. The song sings the name in the chorus and uses the details as little scenes in the verses.

## Getting the name sung right

Names are where computer singing goes wrong most often. The form has a "how to say it" box: write the name the way it sounds, for example "Niamh" as "Neev" or "Siobhan" as "Shiv-awn". The music model sometimes still stresses a syllable oddly or blurs a sound, which is why each song comes with up to 3 sung versions. If none sounds right, change the respelling and make another version.

## How we make it, and what you get

You bring the name and a handful of true details, an AI writer and an AI music model turn them into a song of about two minutes, you get an MP3 and a private page with a player for family, and you read and can change every word before anything is sung.

The lyrics arrive about a minute after payment. Change any word yourself or ask for up to 3 fresh drafts. Singing takes about 2 to 4 minutes. A warm adult female or male voice sings it; we do not make children's voices or clone anyone's voice. One price per song, shown on the page, paid once with no subscription.

## Ways families use a name song

On repeat in the car. As the wake-up song. Sent to grandparents on the private player page. As the music under a birthday slideshow, or a [birthday song](/songs/personalized-birthday-song-for-kids) if there is a party coming. For bedtime, a slower [personalized lullaby](/songs/personalized-lullaby) with the same name works better than a bouncy song.

Teachers who want a name song that greets every child in the class should look at our [name song for circle time](/classroom/name-song-for-circle-time) instead.

## Example lyrics

Made with Still Morning for a made-up example, from these details: "Niamh (say it "Neev") is 2. We call her Neevy. She waves at Biscuit, the dog next door, sings to her toy kitchen, eats blueberries by the handful and shouts "again!" after every song. Big sister Orla is 6 and her best helper.".

**Neevy Blueberry Song**

```

[Verse 1]
You wave at Biscuit through the fence
He wags his tail and off he goes
You sing a song to your toy pan
And tap the spoon on your little nose

[Chorus]
Niamh, Niamh, we love you so
Clap your hands and watch you grow
Niamh, Niamh, happy and bright
You fill our days with silly light

[Verse 2]
Blueberries piled in your small bowl
You eat them up by the handful
Orla helps you stir and pour
You both make soup that’s wonderful

[Chorus]
Niamh, Niamh, we love you so
Clap your hands and watch you grow
Niamh, Niamh, happy and bright
You fill our days with silly light

[Bridge]
You shout “again!” and stomp your feet
We sing once more, you clap the beat

[Chorus]
Niamh, Niamh, we love you so
Clap your hands and watch you grow
Niamh, Niamh, happy and bright
You fill our days with silly light

```

## What it cannot do

This makes a new song; it cannot put your child's name into a famous song or copy a well-known tune or a cartoon character. The voice is an AI adult voice, not a person you know. If your child's name is unusual, plan to try the respelling box and more than one version.

## Questions

**Where can I get a song with my child's name in it?**

You can look for existing songs that use the name, change the words of a song you know, or have a new one made about your child. A made song can use their nickname, their pet and their favorite things, not just the name.

**Are there songs with kids' names in them for every name?**

Common names often appear in existing songs, but most names do not, and those songs are about someone else. A custom song works for any first name, including names from other languages.

**How many times is the name sung?**

The name is in the chorus, which comes back several times, and appears a couple more times in the verses. Singing it in every line sounds odd and the music model handles it badly, so we do not.

**Can I use a nickname instead of the full name?**

Yes. Put whatever you call them at home in the name box, or put the full name there and mention the nickname in the details.

**Can the song spell out the name?**

You can ask for it in the details, for example "spell her name M-I-L-A in the chorus". Short names spell out more cleanly in a song than long ones. Read the draft lyrics and adjust before it is sung.
