In modern times, most people go by their first name. First names steer people expectations when they meet somebody new or first read about a character. Therefore, it's important to choose something that gives people an impression you want to associate with a particular person or character. Our first name tool allows you to enter male or female and a few background details, then we suggest first names that fits the context.
