Couple name combiner

The couple name combiner blends two first names into one. Type both names and it joins the start of one to the end of the other at every sensible point, in both orders, then lists the results that are easy to read. Use them for a hashtag, a welcome sign or a team name.

How the names are combined

The tool takes the opening letters of one name and the closing letters of the other. It tries each split point, keeps results between four and ten letters that contain a vowel, removes duplicates, and shows names of about six letters first because they tend to read best.

Examples from this tool (first six results include these)
NamesSome of the blends
Ben + JenniferBennifer, Benifer, Befer
Emma + JamesJamma, Jamema, Emames
Sofia + DanielSofiel, Dania, Soniel
Olivia + NoahNovia, Nolivia, Olivah

Picking a good one

  • Say it aloud. If you stumble, guests will too.
  • Check that it does not spell something unfortunate.
  • Try it in capital letters and in lower case; some blends only work in one.

How to use it

  1. Type the first name of one partner.
  2. Type the first name of the other partner.
  3. Read the list and press Copy next to a name you like.

Example: Emma and Noah give blends such as Emoah, Noma and Nomma.
