APPLE APP OF THE DAY:
“A great, simple idea, brilliantly executed.”

A CUP OF JO:
“How to choose a baby name!”

ABC NEWS:
“So funny, yet so clever and helpful.”

Babyname is the new way for you and your partner to find the perfect name for your baby.

It’s a fun & easy solution for busy couples to connect with each other no matter where they are and find the perfect name for their newborn.

How it works?

Connect with your partner and swipe through baby name cards together. If you both like the same name, it's a match and is added to your favorites list, so you'll never forget it. One name will last a lifetime.

The Babyname app features over 30,000 unique names – each with its meaning and origin. Like how the name Lucy means light, and Yunus means Dove. That’s nice, isn’t it?

READ WHAT APPLE’S EDITORIAL TEAM SAYS ABOUT THE BABYNAME APP:

"Eloise? Theodorus? Dymphna? There are enough stresses that come with expecting a child, disagreements over what to name your newborn needn’t be one of them. And that’s what makes Babyname such a great app.

It’s not extravagant. It’s not elaborate. What it is, however, is a great, simple idea, brilliantly executed, and one that will stop unwanted arguments and let you and your partner settle on the perfect name for your little bundle of joy.

Utilising a similar swipe-based mechanic to Tinder, potential baby names pop up as you swipe left to discard and right to like. As well as adding these ’liked’ names into a list of appealing possibilities, if your partner also downloads the app, you can sync up your phones using a shareable link or AirDrop and set about making your own, disagreement-free lists.

The hook? When you both ’like’ the same name, you’ll get a match alert. All of these mutually agreeable names then populate a list all of their own and you can narrow things down together, free from the worry of suggesting a name that will get you that look. You know the one.

With more than 30,000 names to pick from, you can filter suggestions based on sex, or keep things together if your new arrival will be a surprise. You can even expand your options with collections inspired by celebrity, athlete, and even hipster-based names (yes, really).

What’s more, if ridding your home life of any added stress and unwanted arguments wasn’t enough, Babyname also gives context to your choices, revealing the origins and meanings behind the names. For instance, did you know that Sara means a noble lady or a princess? Or that Lorelei is an alluring enchantress? How about that Cecilia means blind, grey eyes, and Maria is a sea of bitterness? No? Well, now you do."

What’s New

Version 3.1.0

We’re excited to introduce a new feature:

SUBMIT NAMES & Get A Real Feedback From Your Partner

With our new feature, you can add potential names to the app without your partner knowing and receive honest feedback on them. Simply enter the name, choose a gender, and add a meaning. Your partner will see the name within their next 10 swipes, and they can swipe left or right to indicate whether they like it or not.

Research shows that partners often don't give honest feedback when suggesting baby names to avoid hurting each other's feelings. Our new feature eliminates this issue, and you can now get genuine feedback from your partner on the names you like.

Good app, but room for improvement

My husband and I have found this a great app when choosing names for our first and now our second baby. It allows us both to choose names based on our personal preference and then compare lists and our matches when we are ready. It allows us both to voice our opinions and, although some of the names are a little bit out there, or just variations of the same name spelt differently, generally it’s easy to use and a good breadth of names to choose from.

Perhaps a little bit of improvement to the app would be good, for example, Husband and I have chosen a middle name that means a lot to both of us, but there is no functionality to add the middle name and hear how it sounds with the different names that are coming up. Also, it would be good to be able to discount names beginning with a certain letter if you want to so that you don’t have a repeating sound if that’s not your choice.

But in general overall, a great app and very useful parents struggling to think of a name for their new bundle of joy.

Quite useful, some limitations

It’s a good app and I enjoy seeing some of the names. Lots that I hadn’t thought of which are great. It’s also good because I’m a lot more outspoken / persuasive than my husband, so this gives him the chance to consider what names he likes himself, without my influence, and then we can come up with a list we like together.
Limitations are that there are a lot of very “out there” names which are just not suitable. And also a lot of repetition of names just with different spellings; if I’ve said no to a name then I don’t think I’m suddenly going to change my mind if I see it written with an “ie” instead of a “y” etc. But overall it’s a good app and a new way to decide baby names!

Great little app

Having read some previous reviews I was worried about how good this would be but was pleasantly surprised. It’s a great idea and a really easy way for a couple to come up with names together.

I love the list of names as they aren’t all the usual ones I’d seen online, although many were a bit too “out of the ordinary”. I guess if I paid for the app though I’d get to see far more regular ones, which seems fair. Not sure I’d bother buying all the filters etc though.

Overall, really good though.
