We are very excited to introduce you to Baby Name DNA, a revolutionary new name generator we’ve developed to analyze your naming style and match you with theperfect names.

　　Baby Name DNA organizes names into eight main types, based on a range ofqualities such as popularity and derivation, and people's name style into aunique combination of those types based on the results of a 100-question analytical quiz.

　　The eight Name DNA types are:

　　Leader – These names are popular, traditional, dignified and formal. Think Catherine and William.

　　Charmer – These are the friendly, down-to-earth names beloved by many: Ellie and Jack, to name two popular examples.

　　Star – These eye-catching names sound celebrity-appropriate, and sometimes they literally are: Kendall Jenner and Drake both have names that fit the Star type.

　　Influencer – Distinctive names that tend to catch fire: Jericho, Calliope, and Scout are notable examples of Influencer names.

　　Romantic – Romantic names are both historic and rare, with a warm, dramatic feel. Persephone and Casimir, Viola and Virgil are all Romantic names.

　　Bohemian – Quirky, unusual, and appealing, Bohemian names tend to be drawn from unusual or natural sources. Think Drummer, Pixie, and Bear.

　　Noble – Noble names might be royal or mythological names. They’re both traditionally-rooted and rare. Examples: Guinevere and Persephone.

　　Maverick – The Maverick type defies all conventions. The more unusual and out-of-the box, the better. Andromeda and Dune are both Maverick names.

　　Once you analyze your individual Baby Name DNA, the real magic happens. The Name DNA tool offers you a tailored list of name recommendations based on your profile. You then tell us whether you like or dislike your recommended names and we offer you more and better names on ever-more-refined lists, ad infinitum. 

　　While Name DNA can of course help you search for names for your baby, it can also be a useful way to search for a new name for yourself. The tool combines our expertise as the world’s largest name site with a proprietary algorithm to gauge your deepest individual tastes and responses to a wide range of names and match you to names you’ll love.
