Whozzle.com let's you Rate Every Person's Name in the World

Whozzle.com announces its public beta launch today. Whozzle is a database and website that contains virtually every name in the world and lets anyone rate and comment on the name. It is estimated that 1 out of every 4 Google searches is a name search. Expecting parents can now search their prospective baby names to see if anyone has commented on them.

Whozzle guarantees that every search will find a match and is open to contributions from anyone. At its launch, the site contains over 450 million different names and is growing at a pace of close to 1 million names every 36 hours!

"You can already rate everything from autoworkers to zookeepers. It only makes sense that you can rate virtually any name conceivable," said Co-Founder Tae Chung. In addition, people can view their own name to get candid feedback on how the world sees them. This type of introspective information can be crucial to a better self concept and more self awareness. It can also help adults find an appropriate name for their children.

The distinction between rating/commenting on a name versus rating/commenting on an actual person is a crucial legal distinction as several countries have strict laws regarding what may be said about individuals including public figures. Whozzle.com relies on content filters and user flagging to keep the site free of profanity and vulgarity.
