How can i use a name wheel?

If you're looking for a creative way to generate names for a business, book character, baby, or yourself, then using a name wheel is a great option. It can be used to help you brainstorm ideas from different languages and cultures and is especially helpful when you don't have any specific names in mind.

The way a name wheel works is simple. There are several components: A selection of language roots or syllables for the wanted language; a set of letters; and a rotating wheel. A name wheel has two different sized circles sizes: one large circle with one or more languages inside it, and another small circular panel that rotates around the perimeter of the large circle and holds the letters. When spun around randomly, the combination of letters creates various combinations like "deeba" or "fleo." In this way, you can build upon existing words, syllables, and letter combinations to come up with some new options.

To use the name wheel effectively, you first need to decide on the language you want to use as your base—the most common choices being English, Spanish, German, Italian, French, Portuguese and Latin. Once that's selected, start spinning the wheel to get random letter combinations. Take note of any syllables or other word elements that appeal to you as they appear in each letter combination until something piques your interest enough to pursue further.

You can also customize your results further by selecting specific root words or languages for each language root on each circle panel. For example if you're looking for a Spanish-language business name combining elements from French and Italian as well as Spanish then you could easily adjust your settings accordingly by placing those languages onto their respective panels in the name wheel design. Or if you're creating book characters that require specific 'jargon', setting up some custom word roots will allow gives them far more authentic sounding names than randomly spinning all available language options without specifying which languages go where.
