Baby Name Generator
Discover boy, girl and unisex baby names from a huge curated list — draw a single name or a whole shortlist, filter by first letter and length, and save your favorites.
What Is the Baby Name Generator?
The Baby Name Generator helps expecting parents brainstorm names from a large, hand-curated pool of real given names spanning many origins. Choose boy, girl or unisex, then generate a single name or a shortlist of 5, 10 or 25 at a time. Narrow the results by the letter the name starts with and by length — short and sweet, medium, or longer classic names — and optionally pair each first name with a surname to hear the full name out loud. Tap the heart on any name to save it to a favorites list that stays in your browser, and copy your shortlist to share with a partner. Because it draws fresh random picks every time, it's a fast way to get past the same few names everyone suggests and stumble onto ones you'd never have thought of.
How It Works
Pick a gender, choose how many names to draw, and (optionally) set a starting letter or length. Press Generate for a fresh batch, tap the heart to save the ones you love, and use Generate Again for more. Your saved names are kept in this browser.
When to Use It
Use it while planning for a new baby, building a shortlist to discuss with your partner or family, looking for a middle name, or just exploring naming styles — from timeless classics to modern and gender-neutral picks.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Where do the names come from?
- A large curated list of real given names in common use across English-speaking and many other cultures, split into boy, girl and unisex pools. Names are drawn at random with cryptographic randomness, so each batch is different.
- Can it suggest gender-neutral names?
- Yes — choose the Unisex option for a dedicated pool of names that work for any gender, like Avery, Rowan, Quinn and Sage.
- Do you show name meanings?
- Not currently — the generator focuses on giving you a broad, accurate pool of real names to react to. Look up any favorite's meaning and origin separately once a name catches your eye.
- Are my saved names private?
- Yes. Favorites are stored only in your own browser (local storage) and never uploaded. Use Copy list to save or share them elsewhere.
