In the US Social Security Administration’s list for 2025, Olivia was the most popular girls’ name and Liam the most popular boys’ name, followed by Charlotte, and by Noah and Oliver. All of them are in this generator.
Type one or more letters in “Starts with”: “E” gives names like Emma, Ella and Ezra; “Ma” gives Maya, Madison, Mason and Max. Leave it empty to see every letter. If nothing matches, try another letter or length.
Short names have up to 4 letters (Mia, Leo), medium names 5–6 letters (Grace, Oliver) and long names 7 or more (Charlotte, Sebastian). Short names are easy to pair with a long surname, and long names often give natural nicknames.
120 names: 60 girls’ names and 60 boys’ names. Each click draws up to 30 names without repeats. There is no ranking — every matching name has the same chance of being picked.
