How the name maker works

The maker joins your word with endings and patterns that suit the kind of group you choose. A family word gets homely patterns ("Parivaar", "House", "Ki Baatein"), a school word gets batch and classroom patterns, an office word gets team patterns, and so on. Each tap of "Make names" gives a different mix of twelve, so tap a few times and note the two or three you like before you decide.

Getting better results

• Use one short word. "Sharma" works better than "Sharma family of Jaipur". You can add the city by hand afterwards.
• Try more than one word. Run it once with the surname, once with the town and once with the thing your group loves. The best name often comes from the word you tried last.
• Write it the way your group says it. If everybody calls the hostel "H4" or the school "KV", type that.
• Edit the result. The maker gives ideas, not final answers. Swap a word, add a year, shorten it.

Before you set the name

Read the chosen name once as a new member would, and once as it would look on a lock screen at work. If it explains what the group is and nobody inside could be hurt by it, it is ready. For advice by kind of group, such as why a society group needs the building name first, or what an office group name should never mention, open the matching list on the group names page.
