Common Questions

How Many Combinations Are There?

60,485, trying every common name with every letter of the alphabet. Spelling variants are left out, and so are names that simply grow a letter, like Ella and Bella.

How We Count

We take every name given over the last ten years, add one letter and look for another common name spelled with exactly those letters. When the letter slips in without moving anything, like Lea and Leah or Ella and Bella, it is a spelling and not a reshuffle, so it does not count.
