How the list works
- Where do these names and rankings come from?
- It is our own curated snapshot of 30 classic baby boy names, compiled for this tool with a common origin and meaning note per name. The rank order is editorial, not an official registry feed.
- How does the search match?
- A search shows every name that contains your letters anywhere, ignoring capitalization — "li" finds Liam, and FELIX matches "li" too. Matching is plain text, not regex. Whitespace-only searches show the full list.
- What exactly does "Show selected names first" do?
- It splits the current results into two blocks: your ticked names (in rank order), then everything else (in rank order). Selections hidden by the current search stay selected and rejoin when the filter clears; with nothing selected, the toggle changes nothing.
- Why are the navigation buttons greyed out?
- First and Previous disable on the first page; Next and Last disable on the last. When a search has a single result page (or no matches at all), every button in both the top and bottom bars is disabled, and the bars always mirror each other.
- Is my browsing or shortlist saved or uploaded?
- No. The list ships with the page and all filtering, paging, and shortlisting happen in this browser tab — no requests are made. Your selections are in-memory only: a page reload starts fresh.
Privacy: the name library is bundled with this page; search, paging, and your shortlist run in your browser tab only and never upload anything. Selections are not persisted after a reload.
