Built by a parent who realised it was already late
And shouldn't cost a fortune to fix.
I'm a new parent. The first time I held my child, I started thinking about all the obvious things — schools, savings, healthcare. Digital identity wasn't on the list. It should have been.
A few weeks in, I went to grab a Gmail address with their name. Taken. Instagram handle? Taken. The .com? Taken. By the time I checked the dozen platforms my kid will probably use one day, almost everything clean and short was gone.
That's not a niche problem. It's happening to every child born today. And the existing "solutions" — boutique identity services that charge hundreds of dollars a year — felt absurd. This isn't a luxury. It's a five-minute task that any parent should be able to do, for the price of a coffee.
What we believe
- Securing a child's digital name is an early investment, like opening a savings account. Cheap now, irreplaceable later.
- It shouldn't cost much. $10 a year covers the whole family. We refuse to upsell fear.
- Parents shouldn't hand over data to protect data. We never sell information, never store third-party passwords, and never share with advertisers.
- Direct beats clever. When you find a name, we link you straight to the platform's signup. No funnels, no upsells, no "premium tutorial".
MyFirstHandle is built by parents, for parents. We're a small team with one job: help you check every major platform in five minutes and secure what matters before the next family does.
