Choosing a baby name just got more inspired, thanks to an ingenious calculator that uses phonetics to give you fresh ideas. Type in up to six names you like, and Nymbler will suggest dozens of similar-sounding suggestions. When we typed in June, Jada, Jenny, Josie and Jenna, Nymbler came back to us with names like Jasmine, Janie and Jayla. You can save suggested monikers to a favorites list and read about the origin and popularity of each one. If you want to know how common your chosen name has been through history, head over to NameVoyager, which charts the rises and falls of the top 1,000 names since the late 1800s.
