Name Song
What does your name sound like?
Every name has a melody hiding in it. Each letter picks a stone, vowels are held long, and every name song comes home at the end. Find yours, learn to hum it, and send it to someone.

How names become songs
Letters pick stones
The alphabet goes round the five stones in a loop: A, F, K, P, U and Z land on Root; B, G, L, Q and V on Moss; C, H, M, R and W on Ember; D, I, N, S and X on Tide; E, J, O, T and Y on Sky.
Vowels are held
A, E, I, O and U last twice as long, so vowel-heavy names (Aurelia!) drift and float, and consonant-heavy names (Kristof!) skip along.
No goose stutters
If three letters in a row land on the same stone, the third one hops up a step so the tune keeps moving.
Every song comes home
Every name song gets one extra, held note at the end. Names ending in a vowel finish on Sky, which sounds like a question. Names ending in a consonant settle on Root, which sounds like a full stop.
