Baby name generator FAQs

How does the baby name generator work?
Pick your filters — gender, first letter, length, and origin — then hit Generate Names. The tool draws a random batch from a built-in collection of over 190 names and shows each one with its meaning and origin. Every click gives you a fresh mix.
Do the names include meanings?
Yes. Every name in the collection has a researched meaning and origin shown right on its card, for example “Liam — strong-willed warrior, Irish” or “Freya — lady, Norse.”
Can I filter by gender?
Yes. Choose Girl, Boy, Gender-neutral, or All. The gender-neutral set includes truly unisex names like Avery, Quinn, Rowan, Sage, and Kai that work beautifully for any baby.
Are these names popular in the US?
The collection blends current US favorites (many appear on the Social Security Administration’s top lists, like Olivia, Liam, and Noah) with rising modern picks and timeless classics, so you get both familiar and distinctive options.
Can I save my favorite names?
Yes. Tap the heart on any name card to add it to your favorites list, which is saved in your browser even if you close the tab. Use Copy All Favorites to grab the whole shortlist at once, or Clear Favorites to start over.
Can I use this for middle names too?
Absolutely. Many parents generate a batch for first names and a second batch — often filtered by a different origin or length — to find a middle name that flows well with the first.
Is the baby name generator free?
Yes, completely free with unlimited generations and no signup. Everything runs in your browser, so your name ideas stay private.
