its okay

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

Used to love this app

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?

Good options but duplicate

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

The best baby-naming app I can find

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 !!

not good after updated

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.

Really easy to use and great data

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.

Great app with excellent customer service

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!

Unnecessary information

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.

Decent

A few things that would improve the app:

1. An additional option that lets you “like” or “love” a name but lets you mark that you do not want to use it because you have someone too close to you with the name (a cousin, another sibling, or it’s the name of someone you don’t like).

2. A way to sort by different themes and popularities.

Update has taken something great and ruined it

Downloaded this app a couple of months ago and it was fantastic. The best baby name app I had found so far. It had a comprehensive filter that you could tailor with so many options, finding lots of great names and suggestions. It was excellent.

With this new update, they’ve taken away almost all of the features that made it so good, and have turned it into a Tinder-style swipe app. Just like literally every other baby name app out there, it’s now just a clone.

While there is still a “list” option with some filters, the filter list is extremely limited compared to the previous version of this app.

I’m actually so disappointed and saddened by this update and really wish I could use the older version. I tried to provide feedback to their support email but it seems the email is no longer valid, so I’m not sure what’s happening.

Buggy?

Loved this app, but now I can’t even open it without it crashing?

I used to love this app

I loved this app, even though it didn’t have many of the names I looked for. I liked how the info was organized and I thought it was very informative, entertaining, and interesting.

They changed the format lately and I cannot give more than 1 star. It went from 5 to 1. I’m so sad I cannot access the same information anymore.

It’s alright could easily be better

I’d like it more if there was a back button so I could go back to the names I’m looking at after viewing one specific name. I hate how it sends you all the way back to the beginning of the name list.

Not user-friendly

While this app has a ton of names and interesting data, it’s not conducive to browsing names or quick-adding them to a favorites list. You have to go to a name’s info page in order to favorite it. But then, once you click on a name, there’s no “back” button to take you the list you were looking at. You have to go to the main menu, choose the list again, and scroll down to where you’d left off. I tried this for about 10 minutes before giving up. Not worth your time.

Best Naming App

Great information and easy to use. Clean design. Even though I’m done having kids, I love having it on my phone to reference when I need.

Name Game

I have an obsession with names, and this site is a quick resource.

Good app

It’s a solid app, useful for baby names. Entertaining to look up friends’ names and learning different details and stats about each name.

Great for researching names

I love being able to see the historical popularity of names, being able to sort by era, and also being able to hear the name just to make sure you’ve picked out the correct spelling for the pronunciation you desire.
