A name tool for two
Find baby names you can both say yes to
Each of you shares a favorite name and a few style tags. Name Meld returns a shared list — with a quiet note on why each name fits.
Free to use. Save any name with a tap — no account, no email.
What Name Meld does
Agreement, not endless scrolling
We keep inputs simple and outputs sorted. Every name shows U.S. popularity and a one-line match reason — so you can talk about the list, not hunt for it.

The craft of naming
How it works
Three steps to a shared shortlist
Step 1
Each of you picks a name
Not the name — just a name you love. It's a signal, not a commitment. One partner might type Juno, the other Cordelia. Add the style tags that feel right to each of you: classic, nature, vintage, short, strong.
Step 2
We look between your picks
The combiner scores every name on how much it echoes the sound of both seed names and how well it fits your shared styles. Names that lean toward only one of you rank lower than names that genuinely sit in the middle.
Step 3
Talk about a short list
You get a ranked list with real U.S. popularity data and a one-line reason for every match. Tap the heart on anything promising — your saved list becomes the conversation, instead of two phones and two hundred open tabs.
Common questions
Before you ask
How does Name Meld work?
Each partner enters a favorite name and picks a few style tags (like classic, nature, or vintage). Name Meld scores every name in its catalog on how well it blends the sound of both names and matches your shared styles, then returns a ranked list with a short note on why each name fits.
Is Name Meld free?
Yes. Combining names, browsing name pages, reading the guides, and saving a shortlist are all free. The site is supported by ads.
Where does the popularity data come from?
U.S. popularity ranks, counts, and trends come from the Social Security Administration's public baby-name files (2015–2024). Meanings and origins are editorial, written and maintained by us.
Do we need an account?
No — there are no accounts, and we never ask for your email. Tap the heart on any name and it's saved right in your browser. To keep your list or send it to your partner, use the Copy link button on the Saved page; it makes a bookmarkable link that carries your whole list.
What makes this different from a baby-name list?
Most name sites are built for one person scrolling alone. Name Meld starts with two people: it looks for names that sit between both of your tastes, so the output is a list you can actually agree on — not a thousand names to argue over.
Want the longer answers? The naming guides cover agreeing as a couple, middle names, popularity data, sibling sets and more.
