Baby Name Generator

How the Baby Name Generator works

This generator searches our entire name database and narrows it to exactly what you're looking for. Choose a gender, an origin or culture, a meaning keyword, a starting letter, and a maximum length or syllable count — combine as many filters as you like. Every result links to a full profile with the name's meaning, origin, pronunciation, popularity and numerology, so you can go from a shortlist to a confident decision in one place.

Ways to use the filters

Looking for a short, strong boy's name? Set gender to boy and max syllables to two. Want an Irish girl's name meaning light? Filter by origin and type "light" in the meaning box. Matching a sibling's initial? Use the starting-letter filter. The more you refine, the more personal the list becomes — and you can loosen any filter instantly if the results get too narrow.

From a list to the right name

A generator is a starting point, not the final word. Once you have a handful of favourites, open each profile to read the meaning and history, run pairs through the Name Compatibility tool, and test your top pick against your surname. For an extra layer, check each name's numerology — and when you want everything weighed together, our personalised naming report does exactly that.
