Start with the sound. Say the full name out loud — first, middle, and last together — a few times, and imagine calling it across a playground. Check the initials so they don't spell something awkward, and think through the obvious nicknames, because your child will hear them long before the full name. Finally, look at the meaning and origin: a name you love carries even more weight when its story means something to your family. Keep a running shortlist rather than forcing one favorite too early.
Some families choose a name to match the baby's sex, and some prefer a gender-neutral name — one worn comfortably by anyone, like Rowan, Avery, Quinn, or Sage. Neutral names give you flexibility if you're waiting to find out, and many classic "boy" or "girl" names cross over anyway. Use the Team filter above to browse each list, or set it to Neutral to see unisex options with their real meanings.
Naming is more fun when the people you love get a say. At your reveal, Revealcast lets guests do exactly that: alongside guessing pink or blue, they can vote on the baby's name from their phones, and a shared screen shows the leaderboard build in real time — a lively way to test your shortlist before you decide. Pair it with our gender prediction quiz and a few gender reveal games to get the whole party involved.
Say the full name out loud with your last name, check the initials and likely nicknames, and make sure the meaning and origin sit well with you. Keep a shortlist of a few favorites rather than committing to one too early, and test them with people you trust. This finder lets you filter by team, style, and first letter, each name shown with its real origin and meaning.
Gender-neutral (or unisex) names are worn comfortably by anyone, regardless of sex — names like Rowan, Avery, Quinn, Riley, Sage, and River. They're a popular choice if you're waiting to find out the baby's sex, or if you simply prefer a name without a strong association. Set the Team filter to 'Neutral' to browse them here.
