Accurate, personally researched, reliable name information
Ever wonder why almost every baby name has a great meaning? It is common to sweeten a name to make it more likable.
Unlike other baby name sources out there, we personally research our baby names, their meanings and their origins.
We're honest with you. You can make your naming decision with the confidence the name
you choose has an etymologically correct meaning, and not a generic one.

Variety of baby names to suit any naming style
Friendly name discussion and name games

Your feedback on names - surveys

Exclusive popularity graphs
We have taken it upon ourselves to create easy-to-read graphs of the most popular names in baby name history (and
you've thanked us). Using data provided by the SSA, we have put together a visual chart of the high's and low's of the
top 1000 names. We have two charts available: one with an overall view (1900 to present), and
one with a more recent view (1990 to present).
