How to choose
A funny name has to survive being said out loud
Most name lists fall apart the moment someone has to shout the name across a bar, spell it to a receptionist, or read it off a scoreboard. The ones that last are short, easy to say, and funny for a reason you can explain in four words.
Run any name you like through the four checks on the right before you commit. If it clears all four, it will still be funny in six months.
The four-check test
- Say it once. If you stumble on it, so will everyone else.
- Spell it once. A name you have to spell twice is a name you will regret.
- Explain the joke in four words. Longer than that and it is not a joke, it is a story.
- Imagine it on a trophy. Or a receipt, or a vet form. Still funny? Keep it.
Questions
The bits people always ask
Can I actually use these names?
Yes. Every list here is free to use for your pet, team, network, playlist or side project. No credit needed, no account, no download.
How is the generator different from the lists?
The lists are written by hand and organised by topic, so they are good when you know roughly what you want. The generator builds new combinations on the spot, which is better when you want something nobody else has.
How often do new lists go up?
New lists are added regularly and existing ones get topped up as better names turn up. The newest ones are always at the top of the lists page.
Can I suggest a name or a whole list?
Please do. Send it through the contact page — good suggestions get added, and genuinely great ones get their own list.
Still naming that thing?
Four hundred lists and a generator that never runs out. Something in here is going to make you laugh.
