Name Picker is a handy tool specially designed for new parents, as well as writers looking for inspiration when naming their characters. You can find the perfect name for your new baby; build a list of your favorite names or simply learn the meaning and origin of a name. All this is accomplished through an easy to navigate interface, backed by a database of more than 1,700 commonly used names in Western languages.

On the Names screen, you can click on the alphabet on the right hand side to display all names starting with a particular letter. A Name window will appear when any name is selected. The window contains detailed info about the name, such as origin, gender and meaning. You can select the name for your favorites list with the click of a button. A random name picker button is also available on the main screen.

The Favorites screen is a list of all the names you’ve selected from the Names screen. It helps you track your selections and pick the name for your baby. The names on your list are ranked according to the order of your selection. You can remove names from the list or re-arrange the ranks by clicking the Edit button. You can also send your list via email by clicking the Email List button.
