Behind the name is the most reliable one. Nameberry has by far the best community. I don't know much about the others.
BtN is by far the best, have been so disgusted with nameberry slip shod content won't go there at all now. One or two of the fantasy generators are nice if you need a quick filler character name. Don't know much about the rest.
Behindthename is the best one. R/namenerds isn't bad. Nameberry is good for browsing names, but not for stuff like origins and meanings.

I don't know much about them, but I think BtN is the best when it comes to facts such as the origin of the name.
You might like the namenerds Reddit. A few days ago I saw a thread about other cultures and what their version of "Karen" or "Chad" is (in terms of having a reputation), and that seems like something you'd be interested in!
I checked the thread. It was pretty fun. And there's actually something I didn't mention in the 5/30/2024 comment, which is that I created a namenerds Reddit account before, but I said I didn't know how reliable it was. Sorry.
Thank you. I'll go to Namenerds Reddit and look for that thread.
