Editorial Standards

How We Create Our Content

GenName.io's naming guides are produced with AI-assisted research and human editing. Here's our process, who's accountable, and how to flag an error.

How our content is created

We produce our naming guides with a combination of AI-assisted research and human editing. We use AI tools to gather naming conventions, surface examples, and draft early versions at scale — then a person reviews, fact-checks, restructures, and rewrites before anything is published. AI helps us cover more ground; the editorial judgment, accuracy checks, and final say are human.

Who is responsible

Content on GenName.io is reviewed and edited by Thien Nguyen, creator & maker of GenName.io. A named human editor is accountable for every guide we publish — not an anonymous byline or an AI persona.

Accuracy and corrections

We aim to be accurate, especially with cultural, linguistic, and historical naming traditions, which we treat with care and respect. Naming is often a matter of taste and regional variation, so we present guidance as informed suggestions rather than absolute rules. If you spot an error or something that needs more nuance, tell us and we will review and update it — pages show the date they were last updated.

What we don't do
  • We don't present AI tools or fictional personas as human authors. Where a real person is credited, a real person did the editorial work.
  • We don't publish unreviewed AI output. Drafts are checked by a human before they go live.
  • We don't invent credentials, statistics, or sources to look more authoritative.

Spotted something to fix?

We rely on readers to keep our guides accurate. If something looks off, let us know.
