Baby Name Picker
Every couple has a shortlist that never quite resolves. One of you loves it, the other has a cousin with the same name. The baby name picker won't replace your shortlist, but it will break the deadlock: load your favourites, spin, and see which one makes you both smile. It's also a brilliant baby-shower game for guests to play.
What's on the wheel
A mix of classic, modern, nature and vintage-inspired names to get you started — perfect as a party game or as a nudge when your own list is stuck at two. Swap them for your real shortlist before the big spin.
How to use this wheel
- Shortlist first: Get your real contenders down to a manageable set of eight to fourteen, then put them on the wheel. A shorter list makes every spin meaningful.
- Use the gut-check: Spin and watch your reaction. If the winner makes you wince, that name's off the list — and if it makes you both grin, you've probably found it.
- Play it at a baby shower: Guests spin for their prediction and you tally the results — a genuinely fun party game that doesn't require anyone to guess the bump size.
- Customize completely: Use “Customize this wheel” to load your own names, add middle names, or run a two-round shortlist.
Make it yours
Want to add, remove or reword the options? Hit “Customize this wheel” under the spinner — it opens this exact list in the full wheel editor, where you can edit entries, change the theme, and share your version with a link. You can also toggle Remove winner after spin to run through every option without repeats.
FAQ
Should we really let a wheel name our baby?
Think of it as a tie-breaker, not the decision-maker. It's best for choosing between names you already both like, or as a fun reveal at a shower.
Can I enter my own list of names?
Yes — “Customize this wheel” opens the editor so you can add your real shortlist, remove the defaults entirely, and share the wheel with your partner.
Is it a good baby shower game?
It's one of the most popular uses. Guests spin to predict the name, or you run a knockout tournament to whittle a long list down to a favourite.
What if we get a name we don't like?
Just spin again — or delete that entry from the wheel. The goal is to help you decide, not to trap you with a random pick.
