ENGLISH NAME FINDER

A new name. A familiar connection.

Find an English name connected to your original name, interests, or hopes. Explore matching ideas with real U.S. name rankings.

Start with your original name

Enter your given name to find English names with a related sound. Mandarin Chinese names and Japanese kana can suggest a reading; you can correct it or add your own pronunciation. Cross-language sound matches are approximate and may keep part of your name.

Start with an interest or a hope

Explore a small, sourced set of connections to things you enjoy and wishes you hold for the future. A name does not predict a person’s character or future.

Explore the numbers, then make it yours

See U.S. popularity alongside each matching idea, save favorites, and compare names on your shortlist. Enable JavaScript to use the finder.
