About

OnlyNames is one idea taken all the way: every American first name on record, each one printed in the same bold type on the same good shirt.

The record is the U.S. Social Security name file, which runs from 1880 to today. We carry 30,422 names from it, which covers the names of 99 in 100 Americans. Where a name has a documented meaning, we publish it. Where it does not, we do not invent one. The statistics on every page are real.

The shirts are Bella+Canvas 3001, printed on demand in the United States, in 12 colors, XS to 5XL.

If your name is not here yet, it is on the list. The list is long. We are patient.
