Spin the baby name wheel

Spin through popular baby names, or paste your own shortlist and let the wheel help you decide. There are four lists:

  • Girl names: 30 popular girl names, like Olivia, Amelia, Hazel and Aurora.
  • Boy names: 30 popular boy names, like Liam, Theodore, Mateo and Ezra.
  • Gender-neutral: names like Rowan, River, Quinn and Sage.
  • Classic: timeless names like Margaret, Clara, George and Arthur.

Narrow down your shortlist

  1. Paste your shortlist, one name per line. Add the last name in your head as you go.
  2. Spin. Say the name out loud with the last name.
  3. Keep or cut. If it doesn’t feel right, choose Remove from wheel. If you love it, choose Done and spin again.
  4. Repeat until one name is left, or until you realize which name you were hoping for.

Tip: Pay attention to your reaction when a name wins. Relief or excitement is a strong sign. If you were secretly hoping for a different name, that’s your answer.
