Hello and welcome

hi,

in the english language there is a such thing as plurality

some words are irregular and have identical singular and plural forms, the word "deer" for example

most words ending in o require an -es to be added to the end. there are other rules too, but in most cases the plural can be formed simply by adding an -s to the end of the word

notice that the word "name" is not irregular, almost regular, ending with a sibilant sound, ending with an o, or ending with a y

therefore the correct plural form for the word "name" would be "names"

this ends your grammar lesson for today, I also took the liberty of fixing your signature for you

in that case:

hi,

in the english language there is a such thing as articles

some words are uncountable and thus have no articles, the word "milk" for example

some words can be both uncountable and countable, for example "wood" means the material, while "a wood" means a forest or an erection

there are definite and indefinite articles; a definite article is used when the noun refers to something specific, definite: "The signature had elementary mistakes in its wording." an indefinite article is used when the noun doesn't refer to something specific or already known: "Did you hear? The OP won an award for faggotry."

with words that begin with a vowel sound, the singular countable indefinite article is "an", for words that don't (ie. words that begin with a consonant) the article "a" is used.

notice that the word "name" is not uncountable,does not refer to anything specific, and begins with a consonant. therefore, the correct article in this case would be "a name"

this ends your grammar lesson for today, although I did not make a new version of your signature, since you are now indeed selling multiple names. feel free to use the one I provided earlier.

you're welcome

I like all these things you keep posting :) Not having "a" saves space, and reduces reading time, therefore you have all the information needed if you just scan past it :)
