About NomiPath

NomiPath is a free name discovery site for parents naming a baby and writers or gamers naming a character. It draws from the idea of nominative determinism, the notion that names feel meaningful, but it doesn't claim a name decides anyone's future.

How it works

Answer a few flip-cards about the kind of name you're after: a meaning, a feel, a sound, a length. Skip anything that doesn't apply. Generate a short list whenever you're ready.

Names & meanings

For baby names, NomiPath uses real names only. For character names, you can choose real or invented. Invented names are clearly labeled. Name meanings and origins can differ between sources, so double-check important names before making a final decision.
