Pick a new group chat name together
Everyone has a suggestion for the group chat name and nobody can agree. Put the ideas in a Rankd, send the link, and let the group rank them. Rename the chat to whatever wins.

Free. Edit the options, then send one link to your group.
Why ranking beats a regular poll here
- Everyone gets a say, not just whoever renames it first.
- Ranked results show the name most people like, not one person’s favorite.
- It’s a quick, low-stakes way to get the group talking.
How it works
- Add the question and 3 to 30 options
- Send one private link to the group
- Everyone ranks privately, in about a minute
- You reveal the winner
Tips
- Collect suggestions in the chat for a day, then turn them into a rank.
- Keep it to five to eight names.
- Reveal the winner and rename the chat right away.
Questions
How many names should we include?
Five to eight works well. More than that and people stop reading.
Can people see how I ranked?
No. Each person’s order stays private. Everyone sees the group’s final order and where they personally landed, never anyone else’s individual ranking.
Is it free? Does everyone need the app?
Rankd is free and runs in the browser, so there is nothing to download. Friends open the link from any group chat (iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, email) and rank in about a minute.
