It's a common name but I don't see it listed? - If you don't find the child's name you're looking for, try another way of spelling it! For Example: Bryan and Brian have the same pronunciation but only one may be displayed in our Available Names Wizard. Not all name pronunciations are available in all collections. Please use the Names Wizard to determine which collections have your child's name available prior to placing your order. Return to Top of Page

I can't find the correct name or pronunciation for my child's name? - If you are looking at a particular collection of music and the name is not available then try the Names Wizard above to see if that name is available in any of our other collections of music. If the name is not listed for a particular collection it is because that name has not been recorded for that collection. The artists that wrote and sang those collections are no longer recording any new names so any names we do not currently have will not become available in the future. There are some artists who will record Custom Names. All of those collections of music are listed in our Custom Names Music Category. Return to Top of Page

I've found the correct pronunciation but the name next to it is not spelled the same as my child's name? - What is most important is we have the correct Pronunciation of your child's name. That way the songs will sound right. We will then put the correct spelling of your child's name on the Personalized Music CD Label, just the way you want. Return to Top of Page

I've found a pronunciation that is close but not the same as my Child's name? - Unfortunately, if the pronunciations shown are not correct for your child's name then we currently can not send you a CD from our standard Personalized Music CD collections. We could however record your child's name in our Custom CD set. Click Here to find out more. Return to Top of Page

My Child's name is available in some of the products but it isn't available in the one I wanted to get? - Not all name pronunciations are available in all of the collections. The artists that recorded the music you are looking for has not recorded that particular name pronunciation. At this time it is not possible to get custom names done in those collections of personalized music. Use the Names Wizard to see which products are available for your child. Return to Top of Page

My Child has a double name? - In most of our collections we only have single names available. However, on a few of our collections we've produced some of the more common double name (like Mary-Jane) & two-letter name (like JJ) variations. If these double name variations are available they will be listed in the Available Names List. If your child's double name is not listed will only be able to put the first name into the music. We can still put both names on the CD Label if you would like.
Or if the double name your are looking for is not listed then we could record your child's name in our Custom CD set. Double names can only be done if the number of syllables are 5 or less. If the name is to long we would not be able to fit the pronunciation into the lyrics of the song. Click Here to find out more. Return to Top of Page

Can I get a CD with half the songs for one child and the other half for another child? - No. Some parents, after they've received the CDs for each child have copied the songs to a computer, mixed up the tracks and then burned themselves a CD with all the songs. We do allow you to do that for your own purposes only. We do not authorize any duplication of our music for the purposes of sharing with others, re-distribution, uploading to music sites or any other use other than personal use. Return to Top of Page

I have twins. Can you put both of their names in one collection of music? - All of the songs were written to reflect one child as the focus of the songs. Even though we can, on some CDs, do double names, they are still referring to only one child in the lyrics, not two children. As much as we would love to do music just for twins, the re-composition of the music and the difficulty of recording so many different name variations makes this a nearly impossible task. On the occasions when we've heard back from parents in this situation, they have told us they were glad they had purchased a CD for each child. It allowed them to have their own personalized CD to listen to and enjoy to develop their own identity. And if they are old enough to play their own CDs they can do so without having to share the same CD. Return to Top of Page

How many names do you have? - Our list of available names makes up the top 98% of the US social security database. We've used this as the way of deciding on which are the most common names to record. Sometimes this means we don't have some newer names that are becoming popular or some names that were very popular when we were a kid, but are no longer popular children's names. The names we have available would be the names that are the most popular now. Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to record all possible names for all collections. If your child has one of those special names that are hard to find, it is possible we could record it in our Custom CD set. Click Here to find out more. Return to Top of Page
