Name Ambigram Generator

Turn a name into an ambigram, or combine two names: one reads normally and the other appears when you turn it upside down.

One name or two

For a single name, leave the second box empty. The best styles for your name will read it the same way up and upside down.

For two names, type one in each box. The design reads the first name normally and the second when it's turned 180°, which is why two-name ambigrams are popular with couples, and with parents who want a child's name that reads from both sides.

When the names have different lengths

Every letter shape stands for one letter of each name, so both names need the same number of letters. Some ways to make them match:

• Use a nickname or a short form: Kate instead of Katherine, Alex instead of Alexander.
• Use a full first name for the shorter one, or a middle name.
• Pair each name with the same surname, or with a word that matches the other name's length.

These pairs already match: Emma and Liam, Jack and Rose, Noah and Ella, Mia and Leo, Sarah and David, Sofia and James.

Name ambigram ideas

• Couples: both names in one design, one for each of you.
• Parents and children: a child's name that reads the same from both sides.
• Memorials: a name that reads correctly whichever way the tattoo is seen.
