Make your name tent

1 Type your name

Use the name you want people to say.

2 Find the name beats

Names and sounds can be spelled differently. First, spell what you hear. Then put the breaks between the beats.

The sound spelling can be different from the name. Tap a + to add a break. Drag a coral dash to move it, or tap it to take it away.

Breaks can also be moved with the left and right arrow keys and removed with Delete.

3 Show the strong beat

Tap the part you say a little stronger.

My name sounds like...

One clap for each name part. Say each part as you clap. The yellow part gets the strongest clap.

4 Pick a paper style

5 Make a class set from CSV

Import up to 40 name tents. A simple name list gets random designs, or add optional pronunciation and theme columns.

Private and local: NameFold reads the CSV only in this browser tab. It never uploads the file or saves its names, pronunciations, or design choices. The only file it creates is the PDF you choose to download. Use first names or classroom labels only - no surnames, student IDs, schools, emails, or other details. Clear the list or reload the page to remove the imported class set from NameFold; downloaded PDFs stay on your device until you delete them.

Headers must be name, or name,pronunciation, or name,pronunciation,theme. Example: Madison,mad-is-on,space. Leave a theme blank or use random; design names appear in each row after import.

Welcome to NameFold

Would you like a quick tour?

We can show you how to split a name into spoken beats, clap the parts, and print the fold-up desk tent.

Nothing is saved. This choice lasts only for this visit.

Before the printer opens

The long 11-inch edge should run left to right. Printer wording varies, so check the preview before printing.
