what is a name wheel?

A name wheel, also known as a baby name wheel, is a handy tool used by parents to generate ideas and suggestions for potential baby names. It is useful for brainstorming options or getting much-needed inspiration when you're struggling with coming up with a specific name.

Name wheels are circular discs that typically have slots or pockets along the edge of the disc that hold different cards. These cards can contain a variety of different elements such as names, initials, syllables, and meanings. Parents can manually slide the cards along the edge of the disc and mix and match pieces to create unique baby names.

Name wheels can be purchased online or in stores as part of a complete infant care system. Even if you don't buy a name wheel outright, there are online versions available for free online where you can type in your criteria and get results back instantly.

Name wheels aren't just great for boys' names either; they are ideal for expecting mothers looking for either gender-specific or gender-neutral options. The possibilities that come up from using name wheels are virtually limitless! You could even get creative by combining two names together to create new ones if you get stuck—just make sure to double check pronunciations before writing it down on your registry!
