Frequently Asked Questions
How does this name generator work?
You pick the animal, name style, and gender. The tool pulls matching names from our hand-picked list for that combination, then shows you a batch of 12 names. Press "Regenerate" for a different batch from the same category.
Are the names randomly thrown together?
No. Every name is hand-curated by category. For example, the "Classic" style for cats includes timeless names like Oliver and Cleo, while the "Cool" style for dogs includes names like Thor and Zeus. The variety on each click comes from re-picking from the same list, not from stringing together random letters.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. No data is sent, no sign-up is needed, and there's no cost.
Can I use it for pets other than dogs and cats?
Yes. Pick "Other" for neutral names that suit rabbits, hamsters, birds, or other small pets.
How do I copy a name I like?
Click the copy icon next to any name, or use the "Copy all" button to copy the whole batch at once.
