Step-by-Step Guide

How to find the perfect baby name

Our name generator is designed to make the search easy and enjoyable. Here is how to get the best results in 3 simple steps.

  1. 1
    Select gender and religion

    Choose Boy or Girl and then select your religion — Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, or Christian. Our database has 2,476 names across all four traditions, each one carefully verified for correct meaning and spelling.

  2. 2
    Enter a starting letter (optional)

    If your family tradition, pandit, or rashi suggests a specific starting letter, type it in the third field. If you have no preference, leave it blank to see all available names for your selection — great for browsing inspiration.

  3. 3
    Click "Find Baby Names" and browse

    Your results appear in a scrollable grid, sorted A to Z with the name and its meaning. The badge at the top shows exactly how many names matched your filter. Scroll through and screenshot your favourites to share with your partner and family.

  4. 4
    Shortlist and decide together

    From your results, pick 5 to 10 names you love. Say each name out loud — with your surname — to hear how it sounds. Check how it sounds in your native language too. The best names feel right when spoken, not just when read.

💡 How Indian naming traditions work

Hindu names are often based on your baby's Rashi (moon sign) or Nakshatra. Your pandit can tell you the ideal starting letter.

Sikh names are traditionally chosen by opening the Guru Granth Sahib randomly and using the first letter of the hymn on that page.

Muslim names traditionally have Arabic or Quranic significance. Many families consult an imam or elder for suggestions.

Christian families in India often combine Biblical names with regional names from their state.

⚠️ Double-check meanings

While we have verified all 2,476 names, meanings can sometimes vary across different regional and linguistic traditions. Always confirm the meaning with a trusted elder or religious leader in your specific community before finalising a name.

Yes, all meanings have been researched and verified from trusted sources including Sanskrit dictionaries, Arabic language references, Gurbani databases, and Biblical concordances. However, some names have multiple meanings across different traditions — we show the most commonly accepted meaning for each community.
Some less common starting letters (like X, Q, or Z) have fewer names across certain religions. Try leaving the letter field blank to see all available names for your religion and gender — you may find a perfect name you had not considered. You can also try a different but phonetically similar letter.
The easiest way is to take a screenshot of the results you like and share it on WhatsApp with your partner or family. You can also open multiple filter searches (e.g., all names starting with A, then all starting with P) and screenshot each set to compare.
Yes! We plan to expand the database regularly. If you have a name suggestion that you feel should be included, email us at hello@prenatalcalculator.com with the name, religion, gender, and meaning. We review all submissions and add verified names in our quarterly updates.
