Read full description

Every name has a story. NameStory shows you in seconds. Type any name... yours, your grandmother's, a friend's — and NameStory reveals what's behind it. How old most people with this name are. Where it's most popular. What it means. What culture and history carried it to you. This isn't astrology. It's real data from global naming statistics, census records, and Wikipedia, presented in a way that actually feels like a story. WHAT YOU GET Predicted age with confidence level. Know whether this is a 90s name, a 70s classic, or an 80s soul. Likely gender with probability. No assumptions, just statistics, always labeled as estimates. Top nationalities with real flags and percentages. See which countries claim the name most. Name meaning and origin pulled from Wikipedia in your language. Ancient roots, modern usage, famous bearers. Country enrichment. Capital, population, region, and languages of the most likely origin country. WHO IT'S FOR Expecting parents who want a name with the right feel, history, and cultural fit. Writers and screenwriters who need character names with the right era and origin. Family researchers are tracing ancestors and wondering what their names said about them. Curious minds who heard a name today and want to know more tonight.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NameStory at none against Moco's 10. NameStory also leads on ads (none vs shown). Moco's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
