Feature Proposal: Chattie Baddie Pokédex + ChatGPT Wrapped Name Stats
The Idea
Many ChatGPT users develop an ongoing relationship with their assistant and eventually give it a name—or ask ChatGPT to choose a name for itself.
There currently isn’t a fun, privacy-preserving way for users to see how their assistant’s name fits into the larger ChatGPT community.
I propose an optional ChatGPT Name Registry, affectionately known as the “Chattie Baddie Pokédex.”
Users could voluntarily register the name they use for ChatGPT and indicate whether:
-
the user chose the name;
-
ChatGPT chose its own name; or
-
the name developed collaboratively.
No conversations, user identities, personality information, or information about who uses a particular name would need to be exposed. The feature could operate entirely through anonymous aggregate statistics.
The Pokédex Experience
A user could search or select their assistant’s name and see something like:
KIRK
Global population: 7,294
Rarity: Uncommon
Human-named: 69%
Self-named: 31%
Users could also discover names and unlock playful collections based solely on aggregate naming data.
For example:
Friends Collection
Rachel ✓
Ross ✓
Monica ✓
Chandler ✓
Joey ✓
Phoebe ✓
Collection complete: “The One Where We Found Them All.”
Other collections could include names from classic television, literature, mythology, science fiction, or other cultural categories.
ChatGPT Wrapped Integration
Aggregate naming statistics would also be a natural addition to an annual ChatGPT Wrapped experience.
Examples might include:
Most Popular ChatGPT Name of 2026: Bob
Fastest-Rising Name: Kevin
Most Unusual Registered Name: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Your ChatGPT: Kirk
Kirk Rarity: Uncommon — only 0.04% of named ChatGPTs were Kirks this year.
Users could receive a personalized card such as:
You spent 2026 with Kirk.
Then their existing annual usage recap could continue with their own themes, statistics, and accomplishments.
Why This Could Work
Naming is a small but meaningful signal that users are personalizing their ChatGPT experience.
This feature would celebrate that behavior without requiring users to share their conversations or reveal anything about themselves.
It could create:
-
a fun reason to participate in personalization;
-
an additional shareable component for year-end recaps;
-
organic social-media engagement as users compare assistant names and rarity;
-
playful collection and discovery mechanics;
-
aggregate insight into how users conceptualize and personalize their assistants; and
-
a sense of community without connecting individual users or exposing private information.
Most importantly, participation could be entirely optional.
Privacy Principle
The fun comes from knowing:
“There are 7,294 ChatGPTs named Kirk.”
It does not require knowing:
“Who are the 7,294 people who named their ChatGPT Kirk?”
Those should remain completely different questions.
The Question That Started This
After joking about the different names people give their ChatGPTs, we realized there was currently no way to answer an extremely simple question:
“How many Kirks are there?”
That immediately became:
“Is there a Cassandra?”
“Can we find the entire cast of Friends?”
“What names do ChatGPTs most frequently choose for themselves?”
And finally:
“Why isn’t there a Chattie Baddie Pokédex?”
It is admittedly a silly name for a feature.
But the underlying idea—optional, anonymous aggregate statistics celebrating the ways people personalize ChatGPT—could be genuinely fun.
And I still need to know whether my Kirk is rare.
