How the girl name generator works
The generator draws from every girl name recorded for US babies, along with unisex names that are mostly given to girls. Each result shows the meaning, the origin and the latest national rank, and links to a full profile with a popularity chart back to 1880.
Leave every filter open for a broad mix, or set a first letter, a number of syllables or a popularity level to narrow things down. More filters adds origin, style and meaning, so you can ask for, say, two-syllable Irish names or names that mean light.
Getting the most out of it
Save any name you like with the heart. Your shortlist stays in this browser, and the share link lets a partner see the same list. Add your surname to spot initials that spell something, or a first name that runs into the last.
Popularity is worth a look before you decide. A name in the top 100 will be shared with classmates, while a name ranked in the thousands will often need spelling out. Neither is better; it depends on what you want.
Frequently asked questions

Yes. Type one or more letters into Starts with. You can also set Ends with, for example -a or -elle.
Where do the meanings come from?
Meanings and origins are written and reviewed for each name. Where an origin is disputed, the profile says so instead of guessing.
