      What Is a Wheel of Boy Names?

      A wheel of boy names is a spinner filled with boys’ names. One spin gives you a random boy name – a fun way to discover new favourites or settle a debate between two names you both like.

      It’s used by parents-to-be building a shortlist, by writers naming characters, by gamers naming avatars and pets, and by teachers running creative-writing warm-ups. Choose a style above, or paste in your own list.

      How to Narrow Down a Baby Boy Name

      1. Start broad. Spin the popular, classic and global lists and write down every name that makes you smile.
      2. Build your shortlist of 8–12 names and paste it into the Entries box.
      3. Spin ten times and check the win count in the Results tab – notice which names you hope will win.
      4. Remove the names you’re relieved to lose and spin again until two or three remain.
      5. Test the full name – first, middle and surname together – out loud.
