Interactive controls did not load (ad blocker, translate, or slow network). Names below still work as a list — disable blockers, turn off page translate, then hard-refresh (Ctrl+F5).
Tap a name card to select it (2–5 names). Then hit Compare & Hot Pick below. Need more ideas? Show more names loads the next batch by score — not a random shuffle.
Score /100 = how easy to call + popularity + vibe fit. Boy / Girl prefer names tagged for that gender (unisex only fills if too few). Each vibe leads with different flagship names. Starts-with prefers that letter; breed is a soft preference only (does not change Hot Pick).
No names matched. Try another letter, breed, gender, or vibe, then tap Generate names.
