Boy, girl and unisex sets
Baby Name Combiner
This combiner builds a baby name out of both parents' names: it blends the two and then adds a traditional ending, so you can choose between boy, girl and unisex sets. Enter both names, pick a style, and read the results out loud.
The parents' names
Baby name ideas
How a name is built from two
There are two passes. The first blends the parents' names directly — two letters from one plus two from the other, or each name cut at its midpoint — and keeps anything between three and eight letters. From Rohit and Priya that gives bases like Ropri and Rohpri.
The second pass takes the first three letters of each parent's name and attaches an ending from the style you picked. Rohit plus the girl endings gives Rohia, Rohina, Rohelle; plus the boy endings, Rohan, Rohiel, Rohus.
Everything then goes through the same filter as the other combiners: no vowel-less results, no triple letters, no duplicates, and nothing identical to a parent's name. Results are capped at ten letters, because baby names that run longer tend to get shortened anyway.
What the three styles change
Boy adds endings like -an, -en, -or, -iel, -ian, -us and -uel. These are the endings that show up across Latin, Germanic and Sanskrit-derived boys' names, which is why the results feel familiar even when the name is new.
Girl adds -a, -ia, -ina, -elle, -ie, -lyn, -ara, -iya and similar. The -a and -ia endings are doing most of the work here; they are the most widely shared feminine endings across the languages this site covers.
Unisex sticks to endings that do not lean either way: -el, -en, -is, -an, -ari, -syn, -ley, -ryn. Expect a shorter list — there are simply fewer of these.
Checks worth doing before you decide
Say it with your surname, several times, at speaking speed. Blends often hide a collision at the join that you only hear out loud — a name ending in -s in front of a surname starting with S, for instance.
Write out the initials. Then check what the name means, or sounds like, in every language spoken in your family. A blend that works in English can land very differently in Hindi, Spanish or German.
Finally, search the full name. This tool blends letters and nothing more: it does not know whether the result is already a well-known person, a brand, or a word you would rather avoid.
Frequently asked questions
How do I combine the mother's and father's names for a baby?
Blend the start of one name with the start or end of the other, then add a traditional ending so the result reads as a name rather than a fragment. Enter both names above and pick boy, girl or unisex to see that done every way the rules allow.
Does the order of the parents matter?
No. Both directions are generated, so the list is the same whichever field you put each name in.
Why does Unisex give me fewer results?
The unisex ending list is shorter — ten endings against thirteen and twelve for boy and girl — because fewer endings read as genuinely neutral. Try "All" for the widest spread.
Are these real names?
Some will be, by coincidence, and many will not. The tool is building new words from your letters, not searching a register of existing names. That is the point, but it also means you should check any candidate you get attached to.
Can I use middle names or nicknames as input?
Yes, and it is often worth trying. A nickname is usually shorter and blends more cleanly; a middle name gives you a completely different letter set to work with.
Do accented letters work?
Yes. José and Mónica keep their accents through the blend, as do names with ç, ü, ñ or ş.
Is anything stored?
No. The names you type stay in the open page and are gone when you close it. Nothing is sent anywhere.
