This random baby name generator pulls from 56 popular names, mostly modern favorites like Olivia, Liam, Theodore, Luna and Mateo. Draw up to 8 at once, copy the ones that make you pause, and keep going. No account needed.
How to use the baby name generator
- Set the slider anywhere from 1 to 8. Moving it draws a new batch.
- Click Pick for another draw. No name shows up twice in the same batch.
- Tap a name to copy it. Export .txt saves the whole batch.
- Pick again as often as you like.
Building a baby name shortlist
Long name lists get tiring to scroll. Seeing three or four names at a time makes it easier to react to each one: yes, no, maybe. Write down the yeses. The list sticks to names that are popular right now, with a few long-standing ones like James, Henry and David, so you won't find rare or old-fashioned picks here. Treat it as a warm-up, not the whole search.
Other uses
- Naming characters in a novel, script or game.
- Breaking a tie between two people who can't agree. Keep picking until one of you says yes.
- Placeholder child names in an app mockup.
- A name-rating game with your partner: each of you scores every batch.
Frequently asked questions
How many baby names are in the dataset?
56, a mix of boy and girl names. Each batch is drawn without repeats.
Does the random baby name generator filter by gender?
No. Every draw comes from the full list, so most batches mix boy and girl names.
Can I use this to make a final decision on a baby name?
It's better at surfacing names than deciding. Once one sticks, look up its meaning, origin and spelling variants, and say it out loud with your surname a few times.
Are these names popular or obscure?
Popular. The list leans toward names that are common today, so unusual or rare names aren't in it.
