About this baby name finder

How are suggestions generated?

The tool filters names already in our database and selects matching results. Each new search can show a different set. It does not create new names or infer a meaning when one is missing.

What do the name groups mean?

US top 100 uses the 2025 US Social Security Administration data, ranked separately for boys and girls. Outside the US top 500 uses the same data and includes lower-ranked names and names without a recorded rank; an unranked name is not necessarily rare worldwide. Nature meanings searches the recorded meaning for nature words, so it may include broad or symbolic associations.

Where are my saved names stored?

Saved names stay in this browser on this device. Copy or share your shortlist to keep it elsewhere. A BumpNames account lets you start a separate matching game with your partner.
