Where the names come from
The names list loads from this site the first time you use the tool. Picking happens in your browser.
- 8 groups
- Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Sikh, Jewish, Buddhist, Global and African, each with boy, girl and unisex lists. “All” combines every group.
- 6,364 entries
- Names collected from public lists. 26 entries repeat inside their own list and many names sit in more than one group; repeats are skipped, so a result never shows the same name twice.
- No meanings
- The groups show how the list was put together. They aren’t a claim about any name’s meaning or origin, so we don’t show either.
- Fair picks
- Names are drawn at random without repeats. If you ask for more than a group has, you get the whole group.

Questions
Where do the names come from?
From a list of about 6,300 names collected from public lists and grouped into eight backgrounds: Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Sikh, Jewish, Buddhist, Global and African. We don’t show meanings or origins, because the list doesn’t include sourced ones. Repeats are skipped, so a name never appears twice in one result.
Can I get names that start with a certain letter?
Yes. Type one letter, A to Z, in “Starts with”. Accented names count under their plain letter, so Élise appears under E. If no name in the group starts with that letter, we’ll say so; try another letter or All.
Are my favourites stored online?
No. Favourites stay in this browser on this device only (up to 50) and are never sent to Biberks. Pressing “Clear favourites” or clearing your browser data removes them.
