Best baby name brainstorming sites?

markhamgurl · December 2012

I'm having a really difficult time finding ANY names I like. DH is a little more traditional than I am, so that limits our selection even further.

I like babycenter.com's search function, because you can search by number of syllables, origin, etc. But I'm not inspired by any of the names that keep coming up in the search results! Ack.

Does anyone have any recommendations on where I should go to really get started? I dislike the websites that give you long lists and don't let you specify your criteria, because 95% of the names that pop up are totally not relevant to us at all and it's so easy to be overwhelmed when confronted with such a list.

Try Nymbler (www.nymbler.com). You can type in names that you like (boy and girl) and they give you a list of names with similar qualities. I found it helpful!

I like those mentioned by PP but also www.babynamewizard.com is good. It looks a little hectic on their home page, but once you start navigating, I like it. The book is good too if you like the idea of turning pages.

I really like Nameberry's lists as well, but here is another option:

https://www.babynamewizard.com/baby-name/advanced-name-finder

(sorry can't make it clicky)

You can also specify the syllables and origin, what letter you want it to start with, etc.

I like using the website https://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/ to check the popularity of a name. I also used their "Top 1000" list to look for names...
