I make naming quick, honest and a little fun

Why I built it

Names show up everywhere: a nickname for a friend, a handle for an app, a gamertag, a team, a brand, a baby. Most name tools I found dump a long pile of results and leave you to sort the good from the bad. I wanted results I would actually say out loud, sorted so the easiest ones come first.

I also wanted tools that respect your time. There's no sign-up, no pop-up wall, and nothing to install. You type, you tap, you copy. If the first batch isn't right, you press Generate again or Remix a result you like.

Three rules I build by

• Be useful in a few taps

  Every tool should give you something worth copying within seconds, on a phone or a laptop.

• Be honest about limits

  I don't check availability, trademarks or meanings. Each page says so plainly, so you know what to check next.

• Respect your privacy

  Your names stay in your browser. I never receive what you type, and saved lists live on your device.

How a result gets made

1. You typeA name, a keyword or nothing at all.
2. I split itInto short pieces that sound natural.
3. I mix itWith word lists and simple naming rules.
4. I drop weak onesToo short, too long or hard to say.
5. I label and sortEasiest to say comes first.
6. You chooseCopy, save, remix or start again.

What I don't do

• I don't claim a name is unique, available or safe to use. You check that.
• I don't ask for an account or an email address to use a tool.
• I don't store the names you type on my server.
• I don't hide the limits of a tool in fine print.

Who I built it for

• Gamers
• Parents-to-be
• Couples
• Writers and role-players
• Creators
• Teams and clubs
• Small business owners

Find your tool

• ('Nicknames and usernames', 'Start with the Nickname Finder when you want a short, friendly name from your own. Need a handle for an app? My username generator and Instagram handle generator give you lowercase options that respect each platform\'s rules.')

• ('Gaming names', 'A gamertag, a clan and a team all need different things. I built a gamertag generator for solo play, a clan name generator for guilds and squads, and a team name generator for sports, school and office groups.')

• ('Combine names', 'Blend names into one with the couple name combiner, the baby name combiner for parents, or the name mixer for up to four names at once.')

• ('Fancy text and symbols', 'Make a profile stand out with the cool text generator, copy from stylish symbols, wrap a name with nickname to symbols, or browse nicknames by symbol.')

• ('Brands, writing and characters', 'Name a business with the brand name generator and blog name generator. Writers can try the book title generator, Japanese name generator, wood elf name generator and drag name generator.')

• ('Browse and utility', 'Look up short forms in boy names and girl names, make a strong password with the password generator, and keep your favorites in My Lists.')

Help me make it better

I build a tool when a naming task comes up often and I can make the result useful in a few taps. If a result looks wrong, a name is missing or you want a new tool, tell me through the contact page. I fix confirmed mistakes, as I explain in my editorial policy.
