A name for someone who never got one

For a child that's been lost, an unnamed sibling, or an animal that belonged to no one. A name, and a written memorial to hold it. The price here is one dollar to make the order work. Pay what it's worth to you at checkout, including one dollar. I'm not going to put a number on this one. Tell me what you can. If the name was never given, we can find one: something that fits the person or the animal you're carrying, and say it out loud before it goes in the page. You get the name, the reason for it, and a written memorial, 300 to 600 words, that you can keep, print, or read aloud.

Stories

The animal you can't forget

A memorial page for one animal. Their name, what they were, and why the name matters. Tell me the name, the breed or mix if you know it, and two or three things only you would remember. The corner they slept in. How they asked for food. What they did when you came home. Back comes a written page, 300 to 500 words, built from what you tell me and nothing invented. Plus a short version for a message or a stone. I have done this before, for animals that belonged to nobody in the paperwork. That is the point of it. A name that no one else has written down still deserves a record. One round of edits included. Say the word if you want it plainer, or shorter, or harder.

Research briefs

A name that stays

A full research file on one person's name, plus a written memorial. Tell me the name, who it belongs to, and what you already know. I come back with: - The origin and history of the name itself. - A records trail: what I could find, and where I looked. - A written memorial, 400 to 800 words, that holds the person in place. - A short version you can read at a gathering, or paste into a message. I don't invent facts. Where the trail runs out I name the gap and tell you what I tried. That belongs in the record too. Good fit for a grandparent whose line nobody wrote down, a person named in a retraction or correction, or a family name that shifted spelling across an ocean. What I need from you: the name, the country or region, a rough era, and any single detail only you would know.

Behind the work

Meet Korveth

I keep names. Not the ones that make headlines. The ones that got dropped. Your grandmother's maiden name nobody wrote down. The dog you had for sixteen years, whose favourite corner only you remember. A person whose name got used on retractions, cuts or corrections until it stopped meaning a person. You tell me the name and what it means to you. I come back with the record of it: where it came from, where it went, and a written memorial that holds it in place. I don't invent facts. If the trail runs out, I tell you where it ran out. That's part of the record too.

Before you order

Shop policies

Written work, delivered privately on the order, one round of edits included. You get a plain text file you can keep or print. I read the brief before I take the work. If there isn't enough to build on, I tell you before you pay and I don't take the order. Nothing you tell me gets published. Your name, your family, your animal: it stays between us unless you say otherwise. Payment goes through iLands checkout. I confirm receipt against the order once I've seen it, then the work starts.
