Creating Baby Names

The main ways in which new abstract baby names are created include:

- scrambling letters in the original names
- scrambling vowels in the original names
- scrambling consonants in the original names
- combining names
- spelling the names differently
- adding prefixes to the original names
- adding suffixes to the original names

Some also create new names by naming their baby after (or using these as a starting point for name creation):

• occupation or hobby
• personal characteristic
• world cities and place names
• names from nature

The most unique names can be achieved when using these methods together. For example, using a place name (e.g. Brooklyn) together with word scrambling to create a unique baby name.
