A lullaby with their name in it

A personalised lullaby is a soft, slow song written for one particular child, with their name sung into it. You give us the baby's name, the parents' names and a line or two about them. We write the words and record it, and it arrives in about ten minutes as an MP3 with a lyric sheet. Prices start at 9.99 pounds.

Yes, and it is the whole point of it. The name is written onto a long held note in the chorus and repeated through the song, so it is the part people remember rather than something mentioned once in passing.

Tell us how it sounds when you write the brief. Names like Niamh, Saoirse or Aoife are not always pronounced the way they are spelled, so add a line such as 'Niamh is said neev' and we will make sure it is sung that way. The lyric sheet still shows the name spelled properly. Hear the free preview first and you will know straight away whether it is right.

Anyone who wants one. Parents write them for their own child, and so do grandparents, aunts and uncles, godparents and friends bringing something to a baby shower. It tends to be chosen by whoever wants to give something that is not another babygrow.

Both, at different times. A newborn will not remember it, so the moment you are buying is hearing their name sung back for the first time. The child gets it later, as something that was made for them before they could talk.

We would not sell it on that. It is a keepsake rather than a sleep aid, and no song works reliably on a baby who has decided otherwise. It is soft, slow and quiet, so it is pleasant to put on at bedtime, but the reason to buy it is the name and the words.

Yes. A lullaby with the child's name in it works well as a christening or naming day gift, and it can be played at the gathering itself. If you would like the godparents or a particular family member mentioned, put that in the brief and we will work it in.

Yes. You can make a free 60 second preview first, with a short voice-over on it so it cannot be used as the finished song. You get two free previews per email address and no card details are needed.

Usually two to three minutes. It is meant as a keepsake to play and to keep, not a long sleep track, so it is the length of an ordinary song rather than an hour of background sound.

Tell us and we will remake it once, free. One revision is included with every order. Most changes are small, such as a name spelling or a detail we should have leaned on harder.
