The Advanced Name Finder Advances

Dec 3rd 2008
By Laura Wattenberg

If you've looked up names in Namipedia, you've probably noticed a feature called "Advanced Search."  If you tried it, you could be excused for thinking "err...what's so Advanced?"  Take heart!  Today the Namipedia Advanced Name Finder takes some big steps toward living up to its name.

The Name Finder now features "Style Preferences" that let you narrow down your search results based on some fundamental qualities of the names.  For instance, you can request--or reject--nicknames, biblical names, or word/place names.  You can specify that you want a traditional name, or a contemporary name, or strikingly unusual name sure to spark comments.

Best of all, you can combine those stylistic requirements with other features of the name, such as letters, length and popularity.  Only in Namipedia can you say "I want a four-syllable name ending in -a that's traditional but uncommon."  Or "show me some surnames & placenames that contain the letter string MAR, because I somehow have to name this kid after Grandpa Marvin."

I hope you'll have fun playing with the Name Finder.  Like everything in Namipedia, it's still a growing pup; it will keep changing and adding new, powerful features over time.

Try the new Advanced Baby Name Finder!

I know a boy names Camiel, but we are not in an English speaking country. Camille is not suitable for a boy, but beautiful for a girl. Zo I agree with zoerhenne; use it for the girl. Pascalle should be with double ll for me, especially if used for a girl.

Our 22 month old's name is Sebastian (after a cousin on my grandfather's side). We're expecting again in March and are having another Boy. We've tossed around the following: Tate, Levi (prounounced like the jean), Fisher, and Oliver. Hope this helps - good luck!

Hi all, just to clarify...my kids are Mildred (Millie), Gladys, Prudence (Pru) and Cecil. No Gertrude here...it's a fine name but not one that I've ever considered.

Happy new year to all!
I saw a child on the playground name "Icem" Now that's a name I've never seen in real life!

Before I found out I was having a girl I had a few boys names on the list. I fell in love with two names, Owen and Lucas.

Hope it helps, and good luck!
