Step by step method

2. Enter or select the first letter you want, if the tool offers that option.
3. Review the generated names and compare a few favorites out loud with the surname.
4. Save the names you like and narrow the list by meaning, nickname options, and ease of spelling.

Worked example

A parent wants a modern baby girl name that starts with A and needs a quick set of ideas to review.

1. Choose the style as modern.
2. Set the first letter to A.
3. Generate the list and compare a few names like Ava, Aria, and Amelia with the family surname.

Tips and common mistakes

• Try several styles if the first list is too narrow, since the best match is often in a nearby category.
• Say the full name out loud with the surname to check rhythm and flow.
• Think about initials, nickname possibilities, and spelling difficulty before choosing.
• Use the first letter filter as a starting point, not as a final decision.
