### 3/5 — its okay

*2026-05-11, version 3.5.43*

its a great idea and i like that you can have a partner but man so many of the names are so weird .

### 1/5 — Used to love this app

*2026-03-10, version 3.5.17*

I used to love this app. I even had paid for the premium several years ago. Totally grossed out by some of the “famous” people they choose to include. Example: under the name Jonah, not the man swallowed by a large fish from the Bible, but some random no-name known for “having a large penis”. Really?

### 3/5 — Good options but duplicate

*2025-09-16, version 3.4.7*

I like how you can read the name meanings but it’s really frustrating when you get many duplicates.

### 5/5 — The best baby-naming app I can find

*2025-05-17*

This is the one you need. You can combine the app with your partner, do the classic swipe-style search, but you can also dislike, like, and love names. you can look at different name lists which i find particularly useful. another thing i love is that you can look at the details of the names and find similar names, and the more you like names the more it finetunes your preferences. Also the upgrade is only like $6-$7 ish? And it’s just a one time purchase. Love this app !!

### 5/5 — THE BEST APP!

*2025-01-02*

My name is Sebastian. Also there is a lot of names! In 2022, my name is ranked 13! So Cool! Now the names in boys are Kevin, Alex, Isaac, John, Mason, Bryan, Jason, Sebastian, Liam, Christopher, Noah, James, Ethan, Mark, Frank, Louis, Hector, Edward, Devin, Adam, Jose, Joshua, Lucas, Samuel, Theodore, Jimmy, David, Michael, Gavin, William, Felix, Daniel, Jack, Leo, Justin, Robert, Logan, Richard, Zachary, Alan, Santiago, Jackson, Jordan, Vincent, Eli, Sam, Garrett, Nick, Benjamin, Ronald, Jeffrey, Oliver, Bobby, Anthony, Kayden, Saint, Cameron, Luke, Eric, Martin, Phoenix, Andy and more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — not good after updated

*2024-03-12, version 3.1.8*

Was using this app to choose names of my first 2 kids, but it is not good after updated, i love the simple old version.

### 4/5 — Really easy to use and great data

*2024-01-21*

Overall like the variety of names to choose from. The data and complementary name suggestions really sold me as well as being able to do this with my partner. Where this app completely fails is this forced separation of girl/boy names and always having to toggle. It’s really annoying. And there’s no way to search unisex names. Lose the forced gender separation for 5 stars.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! Just a quick note that you can view unisex names via the "Unisex" category on the Lists screen. From there, you have the ability to view names that are either currently unisex or historically were unisex.

### 5/5 — Great app with excellent customer service

*2024-01-06, version 3.1.8*

I’ve used this app for years to store baby names. Upon upgrading my phone, the app would no longer load. Mark from the customer service team was quick to diagnose the issue and fix it - he even restored all the names I previously thought I had lost. 5-stars for stellar customer service!

### 2/5 — Unnecessary information

*2023-09-14, version 3.1.5*

I have used this app for years to help name my kiddos, but I recently updated it and noticed that they have included political affiliation in the name statistics. This is absolutely ridiculous and will only serve to increase division and “otherness” as well as people judging children solely based on their name.
