Using the Name Alias Service to create Baby Names

By selecting Just first names in the Anagram Genius Name Alias Service you can brainstorm possible baby names. e.g. by entering the parents' names or desired virtues, mottos or phrases.

Of course, naming a baby is a very important decision and once you have the results there are many other factors to take into account before finally deciding. These include popularity, distinctiveness, practicalness, connotations, etc. However, the service may help with the process of deciding a name by stimulating the idea process.

Examples of baby names made by rearranging letters of parents' names or other phrases:

• "Andrew/Charlotte" -> "Loretta Dawn Cher".
• "Michael/Catherine" -> "Cheri Mia Cathleen"
• "Alexander/Louise" -> "Ian Aldous Lee Rex" or "Roxine Lusa Adele"
• "Child of our dreams" -> "Murdoch Elias Ford"
• "I trust in the Lord" -> "Derril Hunt Titos" or "Sid Rutter Hilton"

With a bit of care you can also arrange things so that your baby's full name creates the desired anagram. For example, your last name is Fielder and you are keen on the motto "Life is an adventure" noting that Fielder uses some of the letters of this phrase. If you carefully remove those letters leaving "isanavntue" you can submit it to the Just first name service to get the baby names (amongst others) "Venus Anita" if the baby is a girl or "Austen Ivan" if the baby is a boy. i.e. now the complete name "Venus Anita Fielder" anagrams to "Life is an adventure"!

N.B. The service will give up to 500 possible baby names but as there are only a few thousand first names in the lexicon, the scope for anagramming is far more limited than with the other services. Quite frequently the results for the Just first names option will be far fewer than the maximum, especially if the input text is short. If the service fails to find any baby names at all your credit will be recharged to your email address so you can submit a free replacement.

Because of this limited scope, if you are planning on using the Just first names option to brainstorm baby names it is also recommended that you take advantage of the big volume discounts and buy lots of credits. This will give you a chance to try lots of possibilities and increase the chance of finding the name that you like.
