Babyname

Choose names together

Babyname helps expecting parents compare baby names without passing around long lists or debating every suggestion. It uses a swipe-based system: each person reviews names separately, and names liked by both partners are collected as shared matches. This makes the app suitable for couples who want to discover options together while keeping each person’s first reaction private.

Name details and discovery tools

The app includes a large database of more than 30,000 names, with information about meanings and origins to provide context beyond the name itself. Users can browse themed collections, including groups built around styles such as celebrity names, athletes, or hipster choices. These smaller collections can make it easier to explore a particular taste instead of working through the full database.

A private way to test suggestions

Babyname also allows users to submit their own suggestions anonymously to a partner’s name list. This can be useful when one person wants an honest reaction without influencing the answer through a face-to-face conversation. Shared results give couples a practical shortlist to discuss after both have made their independent choices.
