Built for the name-finding journey

From a spark to a shortlist.

Find your kind of rare.

Explore Super Rare, Rare & Rising, and familiar favourites. Refine your search by country, region, and year to discover names that feel like you.

Go beyond the name.

Discover meanings, origins, pronunciation guides, variants, and nicknames where available. Follow real popularity charts, with sources you can check.

Keep the ones you love.

Save Love and Maybe lists, compare finalists, and try names with your surname. Sign in with Google or Microsoft to bring your shortlist along.

On our wish list: private family groups, name voting, and beautiful printable baby-name cards. Name details and historical coverage vary; we're continuing to expand and review the database.

A name they'll grow into.
A discovery you'll remember.
