For either

Great for honoring two grandparents, or parents who can't agree.

How to get the most out of it

  1. Start with names that matter

    Parents' names or two family names make a unique name that carries a story.

  2. Try nicknames too

    Names combine both ways, so Noah + Leo and Leo + Noah match. Swap in a nickname for fresh ideas.

  3. Check the real ones

    A ✓ means the name already exists. Look it up to see its meaning and popularity.

Questions parents ask

How do I combine two names into one?

Type one name in each box. The name combiner joins the start of one with the end of the other in every sensible way, keeps names of four to eight letters that are easy to say, and lists real names first.

Can I make a baby name from the parents' names?

Yes, that's the most popular way to use it. Enter each parent's first name, or a grandparent's, and you'll get unique names that honor both.

What does the ✓ mean?

That name is already real: it's in our list of 40,000+ names, so other families use it too. Names without a ✓ are one of a kind.

How do you know if a new name is for a boy or a girl?

Real names use their recorded gender. For brand-new blends we look at how real names with the same ending are used: names ending in "-ika" are nearly all girls', so Elrika is listed for a girl. When an ending is shared about evenly, the name goes under either.
