Centering content in CSS

Hi guys,

I was wondering if someone could help me with my code. I'm trying to put names inside circles but I can't make the text vertically centered.

the html:

                <ul>
                    <li class="name_1">Name 1</li>
                    <li class="name_2">Name 2</li>
                    <li class="name_3">Name 3</li>
                </ul>

the css:

li { list-style-type: none; list-style-type: inline-block; display: inline; padding: 30px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; }

.name_1, .nam_2, .name_3 { font-size: 2.2rem; background-color: #dee2de; color: #3a3a3a; border-radius: 50%; text-align: center; width: 200px; height: 200px; display: inline-block; }

Thanks.

Try adding line-height equal to height valor

.name_1, .name_2, .name_3 { ... line-height: 200px; }
