Name Generator

This generator makes names, randomly ... letter by letter ... based on probability factors from actual names over the last century.

Yes, some of the names generated will be lame, some might be common names ... but some will be fantastic - and truly unique.

Choose whether you would like a Guy's name or a Gal's name … and optionally choose a first letter … then click the "Generate" button, or simply refresh the page for a new batch of names with the same settings.

Some generated male names may sound feminine, and vise-versa. This is due to the random nature of the generator, and the fact that, in life, many women are given men's names, and vise-versa.

This generator uses data from the US Census Bureau. You can expect it to generate American sounding names (as far as letters and syllables).

This generator uses data from the past century, giving it a massive collection of examples to base it's random names on.
