## What is How To Name Your Baby?

Choosing a baby name together shouldn't mean one long argument over a shared list.

How To Name Your Baby lets you and your partner each swipe through baby names on your own phone, in your own time. Swipe right on a name you like, left on one you don't. When you both swipe right on the same name, it's a match — and you'll both hear about it.

HOW IT WORKS
• Connect with your partner once: share an invite link, show a QR code, or type a 6-character code.
• Swipe on your own. No need to sit together or agree in real time.
• Names you both like land in your shared Matches list.
• Get a notification when you match, even if the app is closed.

ON EVERY CARD
• Meaning, origin and a pronunciation guide — nearly 5,000 names come with all three.
• Tap play to hear the name spoken aloud.
• A popularity trend line for names ranked in U.S. birth data.
• Spelling variants and nicknames shown together, so Sofia and Sophia count as one decision.
• Add your last name once and see every first name with it.
• Have other children? Add their names and see how each new name sounds alongside them.

MORE WAYS TO FIND THE ONE
• Filter by girl, boy or gender-neutral, by origin, or by first letter.
• Secret names: slip a name into your partner's deck. If they swipe right, it's a match.
• Name of the Day: a featured name on weekday mornings. Switch it off anytime in Settings.
• Block names you never want to see again. Undo a swipe you didn't mean.
• Keep notes on each match, and see your partner's.

FREE
Swiping, matching, the partner connection, pronunciation, filters by gender, origin and letter, secret names and match notes are free. Free accounts get 75 swipes a day, see their first 10 matches, and show small banner ads.

### 5/5 — Beautiful, Practical, Fun!

*2026-10-29*

This app was so fun to use while anticipating the arrival of our baby. The functionality was wonderful, and it was beautiful to look at. It’s way more fun than just looking at lists of names online. I also loved that my husband and I could both swipe throughout our days and then talk later about names we matched on! Seems like the perfect next step for those of us who met on swiping apps in the first place!
