Third Name

But above and beyond there’s still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover—
But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
T. S. Eliot, The Naming of Cats

Everyone has a third name — the part of themselves that a photo and a job title will never reach. This is a place to be known for that instead.

How it works

  1. 1

    You write the questions

    Between three and seven, whatever you actually want to know. Set a word limit or leave them open.

  2. 2

    Anyone who wants to reach you answers them

    There is no other way in. No messages, no winking, no “hey”.

  3. 3

    You read the answers and decide

    If one answer stands out, that answer becomes what you talk about. If several do, you just start talking. If none do, nothing happens — and they’re never told.

What this isn’t

  • No swiping, and no feed to scroll.
  • No email addresses are ever exchanged. Conversations happen here.
  • Nobody is told they were turned down. Silence is the only rejection.
