WorldVisits a month to AI name generator sites, worldwide
Miles explains
I only call a market growing when visits and name searches agree. Here visits are down and name searches are down, so they agree.
Search trends
2How many people search for AI name generators in 2026?

Google Trends barely registered “ai name generator” until October 2022; interest then climbed to its peak in May 2026. Americans make 44% of the searches but only 14.5% of the visits, because the big sites also draw heavily from India, United Kingdom and Canada.

Miles explains
Google Trends shows direction, not volume. Interest is lower than a year ago, and I only trust that when the visits move the same way.

Monthly forecast
4What happens next for AI name generators?
I expect November 2026 to be about the same as October 2026, and the next six months to look down.
The forecast carries the level of recent months forward, not the trend line, because that version missed least when tested on past months. November is usually a quieter month than average for searches, but the calendar did not improve the forecast, so it is left out.

Miles explains
Namelix alone has 87% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
