    How the deck works

    Where, from the records

    Every figure is an official birth register: England and Wales, Quebec, Munich, New South Wales and 36 more. Loved, common and rare are read from published ranks, never estimated.

    Sisters that match

    A sister scores when her popularity rose and fell with the names on your list across 40 places, and when she belongs to the same generation. Rhymes and shared initials are flagged, not hidden.

    Middle names with rhythm

    Middle names are scored on the beat count against the first name and the surname, and on long, steady use, so they age well.

    How the deck decides

    Sister names

    Each loved or kept name pulls candidates towards her own style. Half of that pull is whether the two names rose and fell together across our regions and decades; the rest is how close their generations are, how close their popularity is, and a small bonus for a shared origin.

    Rhymes, a shared ending and a shared first letter are flagged beside the name rather than quietly hidden, because some families like a matching initial and some do not.

    Middle names

    A middle name scores for a different syllable count from the first name, for not running into it, and for having lasted: names that stayed in use across the long-running records score higher than this year's newcomers.

    With a last name

    Add a last name and every suggestion is also checked against it: a sound that runs into the last name, a rhyme, alliteration, and whether the syllable counts give the full name a change of beat. Initials that spell a word are flagged.

    Keep and pass

    Keep adds a name to your list, and every kept name steers the next cards towards her style. Pass sets a name aside for this deck; Narrow it brings passed names back. Your list stays in this browser only.
