The guess-the-baby-name game, made in a minute
Every baby shower needs one good game, and the guess the baby name game is the one that always lands: guests puzzle over the names the parents are actually considering, everyone laughs at the wild guesses, and the host hands out a prize. The problem is the prep — hand-lettering a dozen cards, or paying for an Etsy template that still needs Photoshop. This generator does the whole thing from the names you type, prints a clean sheet for every guest, and tucks a hidden answer key at the back so you’re not marking from memory.
Four ways to play, all printable
Pick the game that fits your crowd. Name unscramble mixes up the letters of each candidate name — the tool checks that every scramble has exactly one solution, so nobody argues. Guess from hints gives each name a clue built from its real origin and meaning, which doubles as a sweet way to share why the parents love a name. Initials trivia turns each name’s first letter into a clue and name-drops a parent when the initials match. And the classic ballot sheet is the write-your-guess card — name, boy-or-girl, birth date and weight — where the closest guesses win. Every one prints as a per-guest sheet, and the puzzles come with an answer-key page only you see.
Print-first, no sign-up, nothing uploaded
This is built for the way hosts actually run a shower: type the names, choose how many guest sheets you need, and print — your browser’s dialog gives you the free printable PDF the card packs charge for. It’s a companion to the baby name elimination game (for the parents to pick the shortlist in the first place) and the sibling name matcher (for the next baby). Planning the rest of the party? The secret santa generator and team snack schedule handle other group logistics. Your shortlist saves in your browser and never touches a server.
