Welcome
By using mbabynames you agree to these terms. They are written in plain English so you can actually read them. If something is unclear, email hello@mbabynames.com and we will explain.
What this site is
mbabynames is a free, ad-supported, editorial publication about baby names, with a particular focus on middle names. The names, meanings, origins, suggested pairings, and accompanying notes are provided for informational and inspirational purposes. They are not legal, medical, or cultural advice.
Use of the site
You may browse, search, share links to, and quote short excerpts from the site for personal, non-commercial use. You may not scrape, mass-copy, republish, or redistribute the database of names, pairings, or written content without prior written permission. Automated crawling at a rate that disrupts service is not permitted.
Intellectual property
The selection, arrangement, written notes, design, and database of mbabynames are protected by copyright. Individual names, meanings, and origins are facts and are not owned by us, but the editorial reasoning, pairings, and prose are. You may quote up to a short paragraph for review or commentary with a credit and a link back to the source page. For longer use, please ask.
User-submitted content
If you send us a suggestion, correction, or message, you grant us a non-exclusive licence to use it to improve the site. We will not publish your name or your message without your permission.
Affiliate links
The site contains affiliate links, including links to Amazon. If you purchase through one of these links we may earn a commission. See our affiliate disclosure. The presence of affiliate links does not influence our editorial choices.
Advertising
The site shows third-party advertising through Google AdSense. We do not control the specific ads served. If you encounter an ad that is misleading, deceptive, or otherwise objectionable, please email us so we can attempt to block it through the network.
No warranty
mbabynames is provided "as is". We work hard to keep the information accurate, but names, meanings, origins, and cultural notes are subject to scholarly debate, regional variation, and change over time. We do not warrant that everything on the site is correct, complete, or up to date. Use the site as a starting point, not a final authority.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, mbabynames and anyone associated with it will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site or inability to use it. If you find an error and it bothers you, email us and we will look at it.
External links
We sometimes link to other sites. We are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent change. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Ireland. Any dispute arising under them is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts.
