What does the baby name rater check?
Our rater analyses the name's origin and cultural background, meaning and significance, popularity trends, how the first, middle and last names sound together, and any potential issues worth knowing about — like unfortunate initials or tricky pronunciations.
Is the baby name checker free?

What makes a good baby name?
A good baby name typically has a positive meaning, pairs well with your surname, is easy to pronounce and spell, reflects your cultural background or values, and feels timeless rather than overly trendy. Our rater checks all of this for you.
Can I rate a name that includes a middle name?
Yes. The middle name field is optional, but if you have one in mind, add it and we'll analyse the full first-middle-last combination. This is especially useful for checking how the initials look together and whether the rhythm flows.
