What is Baby name generator?
Baby Name Generator — Generate baby name ideas from real U.S. Social Security birth data — filter by boy/girl, first letter, and top 100 or 1,000 popularity. Free tool.
Every name comes from the U.S. Social Security Administration's national baby-name data for births in 2024 (public domain — a work of the U.S. federal government). The tool embeds the top 1,000 girl names and top 1,000 boy names with their real birth counts; SSA ranks each gender's list by count descending (alphabetical on ties, minimum 5 occurrences). The generator filters this real data by your gender, letter, and band choices, then draws a random sample without replacement — no names are invented. Randomness uses a seeded PRNG when you give a seed, otherwise Math.random, so unseeded runs vary.

Good to know
- Data is U.S. Social Security records for births in 2024 only — it is not global, and 2025 data is not included.
- Names with fewer than 5 U.S. births in 2024 are absent from the SSA data, so this tool cannot suggest truly rare names.
- The "popularity" band selects the source range (top 100 or top 1000), not a forecast of future popularity.
- Unseeded runs are random; the same inputs can return different names unless you set a seed.
How it works
Every name comes from the U.S. Social Security Administration's national baby-name data for births in 2024 (public domain — a work of the U.S. federal government). The tool embeds the top 1,000 girl names and top 1,000 boy names with their real birth counts; SSA ranks each gender's list by count descending (alphabetical on ties, minimum 5 occurrences). The generator filters this real data by your gender, letter, and band choices, then draws a random sample without replacement — no names are invented. Randomness uses a seeded PRNG when you give a seed, otherwise Math.random, so unseeded runs vary.
Examples
Summary: 10 random girl names from the SSA top-100 for 2024 — each entry shows its rank and birth count, e.g. "Olivia — #1 girl name, 14,718 U.S. births in 2024".
Summary: 5 random boy names starting with "M" from the SSA top-1000 for 2024.
Summary: 8 random boy and girl names starting with "E" from the SSA top-1000 for 2024 — the seed makes the picks identical on every run.
