How this book was born
For nine months, we were asked the same question. At the bakery, on the phone, at family meals. Always the same question, and always with that look of someone who thinks they’ll be the first to get an answer.
So, have you chosen?
We had chosen. A long time ago, in fact. One November evening, in a kitchen, in a whisper, because saying it out loud would have frightened us.
We could have told you. Sent a message with the name, a weight, a length, and a photo with closed eyes. It’s what everyone does, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
But a name isn’t just a piece of information. It’s the first thing we have given this baby, and it will be the last thing anyone says of them. It deserved more than a notification.
So we made this book.
The name is inside. It’s even written out in full, somewhere in these pages, among twenty thousand others. We haven’t hidden anything: we’ve simply refused to point it out.
The last page is yours.
What you do
Each book is made for a single name. You give us three things, we do the rest.
01
You choose the language
The book exists in French, English, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. Choose the language of the people who will be searching.
02
You choose the cover
Seven covers. Only one will be printed: the one you choose.
03
You write the name
Exactly as it will appear on the birth certificate. We show it to you one last time before payment: it, and only it, will be printed.
04
We make it, they search
Printed one at a time, for you, with no stock. Fifteen clues, one answer, and however long it takes.
Three rules, no exceptions
Never the child’s sex
No colour, no word, no clue gives it away.
Never the answer pointed out
The name is inside, but nothing points it out.
The name never stays with us
It’s used to make your book, then it is erased.
