About the Baby Name Generator
Baby Name Generator gives you twenty name ideas at a time. Choose girl, boy or gender-neutral, a classic, modern or unique style, and describe your preferences, such as short names, starting letters, family background or names to avoid. Each suggestion may include a short origin or meaning, but only where the tool is confident it is right. Names are very personal, so use the list as a way to find a direction, look at the full details elsewhere and say each name aloud with your surname before you decide.

Finding a direction
Choosing a name is easier when you know your style. Do you prefer a timeless name, a modern one or something rare? Do you want a short name or a long one with nicknames? Use the options to explore, then refine with your own words.
Test your shortlist
Say each name with your surname and shout it across a room. Write it down in capital and small letters. Think about initials, rhymes with the surname and how the name may be teased at school. Ask close family, but remember that the final decision is yours.
- Say it aloud with the surname
- Check the initials
- Think about spelling and pronunciation
- Check a trusted source for the meaning
Be careful with meanings
Meanings and origins are sometimes disputed, and the AI may be wrong. Treat any meaning as a hint. For an important choice check at least two name dictionaries, and ask a speaker of the language the name comes from.
