How the Group Chat Name Generator works
This group chat name generator comes up with names for the chats you're actually in: friends, family, work, uni, sports teams, the girls and the lads. Expect puns, in-jokes everyone recognises and a few that'll get a laugh when you rename the chat.
How the group chat name generator works
Pick who the chat is for, or leave it on Any, and generate. You'll get hand-written names like "Per My Last Message" for work and "Half-Time Oranges" for a football team, some with an emoji, plus mix-and-match names like "Chaotic Gremlins". Keep the good ones and generate again until one makes you laugh.
Picking the right name
The best group chat names reference something only the group gets: a running joke, a holiday or a nickname. Use a generated name as a starting point and tweak it, swapping in a place or a person's name. For family and work chats, keep it friendly enough that nobody minds seeing it on their lock screen.
Renaming the chat
In WhatsApp, iMessage, Messenger, Instagram and Snapchat anyone in a group can usually rename it unless an admin has locked the settings. Changing the name for a birthday, holiday or big match is a tradition in many chats, so keep a few spares.

FAQ
What's a good name for a friends group chat?
Something that captures the group's personality: "The Unmutables" for a chat that never stops, "We Should Hang Out (We Won't)" for one full of cancelled plans, or "Snack Pack" for a group that's always eating. A shared in-joke always beats a generic name.
What should I name a family group chat?
Warm, slightly silly names work best for family chats because everyone from grandparents to teenagers sees them. "The Fam Bam", "Mum Has Entered the Chat" and "Who Ate My Leftovers" are popular because they're funny without being rude.
How do I change a group chat name?
In WhatsApp, open the group, tap its name and edit it. In iMessage, tap the group icon at the top and choose Change Name and Photo. Most other apps have a similar option in the chat's settings or info page.
