Website overview

About Top Prénom

Top Prénom helps expectant parents choose a baby name using official birth statistics, not guesses. The site is free, with no ads and no account to create.

For each name in France, it shows popularity since 1900, the chance that another child in the class will share it, spellings that sound the same, and trend forecasts through 2030. Rankings are also available by département.

A short questionnaire builds a first list to browse. Couples can use a live duo mode on two phones: only mutual favourites appear, and rejections stay private. A tournament then ranks the shortlist, and a voting link can be sent to family members.

If there is already an older sibling, the site suggests names from the same style and era, and flags sounds that clash or rhyme. A surname test checks how a first name sits with the family name, then reads the full name aloud.

The same tool is available for Switzerland (ch.topprenom.fr) and Belgium (be.topprenom.fr), each with official local birth data.
