Librarian Core Names
Welcome to a world where the Dewey Decimal System reigns supreme and every name tells a story. Librarian Core Names are...
Every Story
Starts with a
Name
Naming isn't just picking something that sounds nice. It's the word they'll say for the rest of their life. It's how they'll go from strangers to lovers, best friends, coworkers, and classmates. It's how they'll be remembered, spoken of, googled, and maybe even tattooed. It's more than a name. It's the beginning of every story. And it deserves to feel right.
You'll know it when you see it
The right name will find you somewhere between first tap and final pick.

FAQs
Naymt is the smart, modern way to find the perfect name. Discover thousands of options, use advanced filters, and get name suggestions that match your style. Build lists, rearrange names inside, and invite your partner or loved ones to rank, react, and comment. It's personal, playful, and collaborative. Because naming should feel fun.
We pull from a wide range of trusted sources, including U.S. birth name data dating back to 1880 and Canadian statistics data dating back to 1991. Our database includes modern names, international picks, and rare finds. We update our selection daily with new name additions and trends.
We cross-reference multiple trusted sources and we understand that meanings can vary by region and language. So, if a name has several interpretations, we'll show them all so you can choose the one that resonates most.
Daily. We track trends, listen to requests, and research deeply so you always have fresh names to discover. Whether it's rising fast or making a comeback, you'll find it in Naymt.
When multiple names have the exact same number of births in a year, they share the same rank. For example, if 16 names are tied at rank 683, they all get rank 683, but the next name jumps to rank 699 (683 + 16). This is standard ranking methodology used by official sources like the U.S. Social Security Administration and Statistics Canada. So when you see a gap, it means several names were equally popular that year!
Baby names are our main focus, but Naymt works for anything that needs a name. Whether you're naming a baby, a pet, a character, or (soon) a business. The app helps you explore, narrow down, and decide on a name with confidence.
Filters help you narrow things down fast. Sort by vibe, origin, popularity, gender, syllable count, and so many more. Looking for a vintage French girl name under five letters? In Naymt, you can get that specific.
Of course! You can search by first letter, ending letter, number of syllables, and more. These filters are perfect when you already have a sound in mind, or need a name that fits with a sibling, middle name, or last name.
Filters help you narrow down what's already in the app. The Naym Genie does more. It's personal. You can tell it sibling names, names you love but can't use, your style, your story. It'll show you names we have that fit, or create new ones in real time. Try telling it your cousin stole Beckett and you want something similar, and watch the magic happen.
Naymr is our visual tool that guesses names based on photos. Snap a pic of anything and see what Naymr thinks it would be named. It's powered by real-time style cues (and a little magic).
A naming style test is a comprehensive questionnaire that analyzes your preferences to identify your unique approach to baby naming. It examines how you respond to sounds, meanings, origins, popularity levels, and aesthetics to create a personalized profile of your naming style.
Professional baby name consultants ask about: who you're naming and when, family names and dynamics, names you love and hate, sound preferences (syllables, letters, phonetics), spelling style, popularity preferences, era and origin preferences, meaningful themes, and the feelings you want the name to evoke. Our naming style test covers all these topics.
Style DNA is your unique naming fingerprint. It's a personalized profile that captures everything about how you approach baby naming - from the sounds you prefer to the meanings that resonate with you. Each Style DNA includes a custom archetype name, trading card illustration, and insights across five key dimensions.
Yes, the naming style test is completely free. You'll receive your unique Style DNA profile including your naming archetype, a custom trading card illustration, and detailed insights about your preferences at no cost.
The naming style test typically takes 2-10 minutes depending on how detailed you want to be. It covers six phases: context, household, name landscape, sounds & spelling, aesthetics, and meaning & personality. You can save your progress and return anytime.
Naming style archetypes are personalized labels that capture your overall naming approach. Examples include "The Timeless Romantic," "The Bold Pioneer," "The Cultural Curator," and "The Classic Modernist." Your archetype is generated based on your unique combination of preferences.
Most baby name quizzes ask a few simple questions and suggest random names. Our naming style test is a comprehensive assessment that professional consultants use. It analyzes your complete preference profile to understand WHY you like certain names, not just which names to suggest.
Our Baby Name Consultant uses advanced patterning and our in-house AI to generate personalized name recommendations. First, you complete a detailed questionnaire about your preferences, style, and story. This creates your unique Style DNA. Then our consultant analyzes patterns, brainstorms options, and refines the list through multiple rounds of evaluation to deliver 100 names specifically chosen for you, each with a personalized explanation.
Yes. Our consultant combines advanced patterning with our in-house AI to understand your preferences deeply and generate truly personalized recommendations. But it's not just random AI output. The system goes through six distinct stages: pattern analysis, brainstorming (Intern), organization (Manager), deep analysis (Senior), quality filtering (Boss), and final delivery. Each stage builds on the last to ensure every name fits your unique style.
Your Style DNA is completely free. You'll get your unique naming archetype, a custom trading card illustration, and detailed insights about your naming style at no cost. You can then watch the consultant work through each stage in real-time. At the end, you choose between the Top 10 names for $4.99 or all 100 names for $14.99. Each name comes with personalized commentary explaining why it was chosen for you.
Style DNA is your unique naming fingerprint. After completing the questionnaire, our advanced patterning and in-house AI analyze your preferences across sounds, meanings, origins, popularity, and personal style to create a comprehensive profile. You'll receive a custom trading card illustration, your naming archetype (like 'Graceful Traditionalist' or 'Bold Trailblazer'), and detailed insights about what makes your naming style unique. No two Style DNAs are ever the same.
The questionnaire typically takes 2-10 minutes to complete, depending on how detailed you get. It covers six phases: basic details, family background, names you love and don't love, sound and spelling preferences, popularity and era preferences, and style and meaning preferences. You can save your progress and come back later if you'd like.
Once you complete the questionnaire and click 'Watch Consultant Work', the pipeline typically takes 2-5 minutes to generate your personalized list of 100 names. You can watch the progress in real-time as the consultant works through each stage.
The questionnaire covers everything that shapes your naming preferences: who you're naming for, gender preferences, names you love or can't use, sound preferences (length, syllables, starting/ending letters), spelling style, popularity level, era preferences (vintage to modern), cultural origins, meanings you connect with, and even imagery and feelings you want the name to evoke.
Every name in your list includes a personalized comment explaining exactly why it was chosen for you. This helps you understand the reasoning, discover connections you might have missed, and make confident decisions. It's like having a naming expert explain each recommendation personally.
In the Naymt app, yes! You can tap 'Edit Answers' to refine your responses at any time, which will generate a fresh Style DNA and new personalized names.
No. Every Style DNA is completely unique, and no two people ever receive the same list. Even if preferences seem similar, the subtle differences in how you answer questions, the specific names you love or avoid, and your personal story all combine to create distinct results.
Just include that in your questionnaire answers. We have a spot to comment in every question for you to add nitty gritty details. Whether you're looking for nature-inspired names, musical references, literary connections, or a specific cultural origin, the consultant will incorporate your themes while maintaining quality and personal fit.
Filters let you browse names matching specific criteria like origin or length. The Baby Name Consultant goes deeper. It understands your complete style profile, considers names you love and avoid, analyzes patterns across all your preferences, and delivers a curated list with reasoning for every pick. It's the difference between searching a database and having an expert who knows you make recommendations.
Yes. Your session is saved automatically as you go. You'll receive a unique URL that you can bookmark or save. Return anytime to continue where you left off, view your Style DNA, or access your name recommendations.
Lists are a feature in the Naymt mobile app. They let you save names you love, rearrange them, invite others, and make decisions together. You can create as many lists as you want, whether you're narrowing things down or starting from scratch.
It's easy. Inside a list, swipe right to move a name up or swipe left to move it down. You can also tap a name to see its details, find out who moved it and when, and view any comments added. Every list becomes a living record of where your favorite names stand.
Yes. Every list can be shared using an invite link from the list owner. You'll see their changes in real time, so everyone stays on the same page.
Anyone with the app. Once they download Naymt, they can tap your invite link to join the list. Whether it's your partner, sibling, best friend, or mom, they'll be able to add names, move things around, and leave comments.
In Naymt, collaborators can fully participate in any list they're added to. They can add or rearrange names, leave notes, react to picks, and help shape the final order. Everything they do shows up in the activity feed, so nothing gets lost or second-guessed.
Yes. In Naymt, there's no voting button, just swiping. Everyone can move names up or down based on what they love or don't. It's totally collaborative and a lot of fun. You can also leave notes to explain your moves or settle the re-arrange debate.
Absolutely. Create separate lists for different styles, stages, or people. Our favorite way to use multiple lists is to keep one with input from friends and family, and another private one just for you and your partner. It helps keep the naming energy contained and the real decisions focused while still having fun.
A veto means "this one's a definite no from me." It drops the name to the bottom of the list, so it's out of the running. You'll still be able to see vetoed names, just in case someone has a change of heart later.
Yes. Just swipe right to move the name back into consideration. Nothing's gone forever in Naymt, sometimes a name grows on you.
Yes. Tap a name in a list to open it and leave a note. Comments are shared and visible to all collaborators on that list, so everyone stays in the loop.
Open any name in a list to view its activity. You'll see who moved it up or down, who made it a top pick, and who vetoed it (and when). You can also tap a collaborator's profile to see their full activity across the lists you share.
Yes. Turn on notifications to get updates when names are added, rankings change, vetoes happen, or new collaborators join. You can control which lists send you alerts in Profile Settings.
To start using Naymt, just upload a photo and add your name. We don't use emails, phone numbers, or passwords. You're in the app within seconds.
Naymt was created by Lani Lynchey, whose own experience with naming is deeply personal. After growing up in foster care, she was adopted and given a name that, unknowingly, carried offensive meanings in many cultures. By 25, she set out to change it, only to find the naming process outdated and overwhelming. That journey inspired her to build Naymt: a modern, thoughtful way to make naming smart, personal, and even fun.
