When choosing a name for your baby girl or baby boy, it’s natural to seek help from loved ones and experts. But if you’re sick of the baby name books and endless suggestions from friends and family that you have to pretend to consider, it may be time to turn to the internet’s vast supply of baby name generators and genies. Whether it’s a first name or middle name you’re after, baby name generators will present you with a fresh batch of names based on your criteria.
Name generators are abundant these days, and much more nuanced than you might think, giving users the ability to find traditional and unique names, filter by popularity or similarity to other names, or the letter it starts with (there are middle name generators too). Baby name generators can help you find names that reflect your family’s origins or religion (or political leanings), have a specific meaning, or — if you’re into this — are comprised of the letters in your and your partner’s names. Here are the 12 best baby name generators out there.
Nameclouds This user-friendly app is like the Pandora of name generators. You just plug in a name you like and Nameclouds will generate a list of similar names, where for a boy or girl. You can also explore data on how popular a given name is, state by state or over time, and see how a name evolves based on parental income, education and political stance. Love a name but hate that everyone seems to have it? Nameclouds can fix that, too, with its sliding bar of “popularity.” Type in the name “Anna,” and it generates names with similar characteristics: Lilly, Amy, and Alyssa. But move the popularity scale to the left and it offers up more unique variations: Mallory, Asia, Ashanti, Moriah, Ayana, or Amber.
An Award-Winning Formula
Looking for a formula you can trust to support your baby? Enspire is Enfamil’s closest formula to breast milk ever. It has Lactoferrin and MFGM which have been associated with fewer digestive and respiratory issues.
Alexdavey This hilarious hipster name generator has you describe exactly what type of hipster you’re planning on raising before spitting out a custom “small batch” name for you. Is your baby someone who prefers craft milk, or are they already vegan? The name I ended up with is Agnes Buttercup Camellia Kelleher. Beat that.
Name-Generator This generator has you add details like your last name, your parents’ names, and the names of people you admire to find the perfect name for your baby.
