## What is Minimalist Mama?

Naming a baby with someone else is the one decision you cannot split down the middle. Baby Names turns it into something you do together instead of an argument you keep having.

SWIPE, DON'T DEBATE
Yes or no, one name at a time. Your list stays yours — your partner never sees it, and you never see theirs. The only thing either of you is ever shown is a name you have both already said yes to.

That single rule changes the whole thing. Nobody has to defend a name they love, and nobody has to be the one who turns a name down. There is no scoreboard and nobody loses.

THE MOMENT YOU BOTH SAY YES
When a name matches it arrives properly: it appears on both phones at once, and it is spoken out loud in a real recorded voice. You hear your baby's name before you decide on it.

HEAR EVERY NAME
More than 1,600 names carry a real recorded pronunciation, so you are never guessing whether you are saying it the way everyone else will.

PUT THEM IN ORDER
Once you have a few matches, drag them into the order you actually like them. You can see where each one sits on your partner's list too — and only ever for names you have both already agreed on.

SLIP A NAME IN
Thought of one that is not in the deck? Add it, and it lands in your partner's cards without anyone having to spell it down the phone.

NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS, NOTHING TO KEEP UP WITH
No sign-up, no email address, no ads, no streaks, no daily nudges, no leaderboards. Pairing with your partner is free and always will be.

WHAT COSTS MONEY
Everything above is free, including your first match. If you would like every match after that — the whole list, kept for good, with the ordering — there is a one-off payment that covers both of you, or a monthly option instead. Naming a baby takes weeks rather than years, so the one payment is usually the cheaper answer.

Made by Minimalist Mama, for people who would rather enjoy this bit than manage it.

Clearer subscription information on the purchase screen: the plan name, its length, and the price per month are now shown up front, alongside tappable Terms of Use (EULA) and Privacy Policy links.

Tapping a purchase now always tells you what happened — if a purchase cannot be started it says so on screen instead of appearing to do nothing.

Fixed a case where features could unlock without a completed purchase.

No release notes.
