About the Baby Name Generator
Choosing a name is one of the most personal decisions a family makes. Some parents want a name that honours their heritage, some want something short and easy to spell, and others simply want to see a broader range of options than the same ten names that appear on every list. This generator draws from a curated dataset of more than 200 names spanning English, Irish, Welsh, Spanish, Italian, French, German, Nordic, Slavic, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, African, Hawaiian, Latin, and several other traditions.
Every name in the dataset is tagged with a gender and an origin. Filters let you narrow the list by gender, origin, starting letter, and approximate syllable count. The syllable count is calculated from the way the name is written, so it is a useful guide rather than a linguistic rule; names from some languages may be counted slightly differently than a native speaker would. When you generate, the tool draws a random selection from the matching names, which means you can press the button repeatedly to see fresh ideas.
Saving favorites
Tap the heart on any name to add it to the favorites panel. Favorites stay available while the page is open, and you can copy the whole list as comma-separated text to share with a partner or paste into a note. The copy buttons beside each name are convenient for shortlisting. Nothing is uploaded: the names, filters, and favorites all live in your browser, and the tool never asks for personal information.
Frequently asked questions
How is the syllable count calculated?
The tool groups vowel sounds in the written name and adjusts for a trailing silent “e”. It is an approximation, and pronunciation can vary by language and region.
Can I filter by more than one origin?
The origin filter shows one origin at a time. To compare traditions, generate a list for one origin, save favorites, then switch to another origin.
Are the names ranked by popularity?
No. The dataset is a broad, curated selection rather than a popularity chart. Use it for inspiration, then check current popularity data if that matters to you.
