Baby name generator
BabyData's baby name generator filters a hand-curated list of names commonly registered in England and Wales by sex and style (classic, modern, nature, vintage, short or international) and shows a random shortlist you can refresh. It is a seed list for inspiration, not a ranking: the full year-by-year popularity picture comes from the official ONS Baby names dataset, which powers our names tracker. Meanings and origins are general background, not a claim about any individual.

How this works
This filters a hand-curated list of names commonly registered in England and Wales by the sex and style you pick, then shows a random shortlist. Press generate again for a fresh set. "Unisex" includes names regularly given to any baby; picking a sex also includes unisex names.
