Fun times!

Awesome app!

Unbearably slow

The generation speed is far too slow. Your waiting roughly a minute or more for 5 names. I tried getting the subscription to see if it’ll help the speed, it didn’t. Now the app won’t even load any new names for me. Great aesthetics but the functionality is nonexistent. Deleting now.

Response from developer

Hi KATDawg777, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. You were absolutely right - the app was too slow, and we took this seriously. Since your review, we've completely overhauled our generation system. Name searches that used to take 5+ minutes now complete in under 3 seconds, and we've actually expanded our name database at the same time. The subscription experience has also been streamlined. We'd love for you to give Namely another try. The speed improvements rolled out in our recent updates have transformed the browsing experience. If you do revisit the app and still experience any issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team. Thank you for helping us make Namely better!

Great app hidden behind a subscription

Thankfully there’s a trial period of seven days and it’s got some amazing names and easy to navigate. But not really something worth subscribing, would have been better as a once off purchase

Good but could do without all of the quotes

Easy to use app, though there are a lot of inspirational parenting quotes that are nice but pop up a bit too frequently and err on the cheesy side.

Response from developer

Hi OK Kid A, thank you for the 4-star review and the honest feedback! We're glad you find the app easy to use. You make a great point about the quotes. We added them thinking they'd be inspiring during the naming journey, but we hear you - not everyone wants them, and they can definitely interrupt the flow of browsing names. We're adding a toggle in the next update to turn off quotes entirely, and we're also reducing their frequency for those who keep them on. No more cheesy interruptions when you're in the zone finding the perfect name! Thanks for helping us improve Namely. Your feedback directly shapes updates like this one.

I love this app

Response from developer

Thank you so much, Waterlilley! We're thrilled you love Namely! Your 5-star review means the world to us. Wishing you all the best in finding the perfect name for your little one! 💙

Great app

Great

Not flexible

I can’t figure o it how to put in a first name and have it generate a middle name, which is the only reason I wanted it

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you're having difficulty using our app to generate middle names. Currently, our app is designed to suggest full names, but we understand your need for a middle name generator feature. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as it helps us improve our app. We'll consider adding a specific middle name generation feature in a future update. In the meantime, you might try using our current name suggestions as middle names instead of first names. If you need any assistance with using the current features of the app, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team. We're here to help! Thank you for giving our app a try, and we hope to better meet your needs in the future.

Sensational App

So hard to name a child when one parent is a school teacher. This app made the process fun and gave us options we hadn’t even heard of. Love it!❤️❤️

Beautiful and sophisticated

This app was so helpful. The whole journey is pleasant and easy to navigate. I found names I would have never thought of. It makes a really tough decision and turns it into a fun exploration.

Best of the apps

I’m liking it a lot so far. The name options are superior to other apps and I haven’t experienced glitches at all. I like the font - my eyes have hurt going through names in other apps. I recommend adding a match column for your partners and some kind of pop up when a match is made. I also wish a couple only had to pay once - if this is possible to do I haven’t found out how yet.

Hi Dr Nat, Thank you so much for your 5-star review of our baby name app! We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the superior name options, glitch-free experience, and easy-on-the-eyes font. Our team works hard to provide the best possible user experience, and your positive feedback means the world to us. We greatly appreciate your thoughtful suggestions for improvement. Based on your input, we're excited to announce a couple of updates coming soon to Namely: Partner Match Pop-up: We love your idea of adding a pop-up notification when you match with your partner on a name. Keep an eye out for this feature in an upcoming release - it will make those special matching moments even more exciting! One-Time Pro Payment for Couples: We hear you, and we're working on making it easier for couples to upgrade to Namely Pro together. Soon, if one partner has paid for the Pro version, both will automatically gain access. Stay tuned for this improvement. Your insights are invaluable in helping us continue to enhance Namely. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any other ideas or feedback. We're dedicated to making your baby naming journey as joyful and stress-free as possible. Thanks again for being a part of the Namely community and for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. Happy name hunting! Gareth, The Namely Team

Very Nice!!

EDIT: I love that the developers actually listen to what their users want and added the features I was looking for. I also like the facts and helpful tips for deciding between loading lists. And it’s even more beautiful than before. This has become my favorite app for looking for baby names!…

Original: It’s a very aesthetically pleasing app and is easy to use. However, I’d like the options to “dislike” names so they won’t keep showing in the list and also to be able to invite my partner to like names and show us our matches.

Dear PinkasaurusRex (sweet name BTW!), Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! We're always listening to our users to make Namely the best it can be. I'm excited to let you know that we've just released a major update addressing the features you mentioned! Here's what's new: Dislike Feature: Now you can easily remove names you don't like from your suggestions. Partner Collaboration: Invite your partner to join, like names, and discover your perfect baby name matches! Expanded Name Database: More names to love, and no more repeats! We'd be honored if you'd give our updated app a try. If you enjoy the changes, we would truly appreciate it if you would consider updating your review. Thank you again for helping us make Namely even better. Sincerely, The Namely Team

Has Potential But Needs Some Work

Interesting app but names repeat over and over, even if you change the filters. It would be nice to x-out names you don’t like so they don’t show up again.

Response from developer

Thank you for your valuable feedback! We appreciate your input, and we're excited to share that we've recently updated our AI model, resulting in a significant improvement in performance. This means you can expect a more diverse and enjoyable selection of names without repetition, even when applying various filters. Additionally, we're actively working on implementing a feature that will allow you to "X-out" names you don't like, ensuring a personalized and satisfying experience for every user. Your suggestions are important to us, and we're committed to making our app even better with each update. If you have any more ideas or feedback, please feel free to share them with us. Your insights help us shape the future of our app. Thank you for being part of the journey of naming joy with us! Warm regards, Namely Team

Naming Made Easy!  

Love this app! My partner and I had a blast exploring names for our little one. The smart tailoring feature helped us find a name that fit well with our surname. It was fun discovering name meanings together. Simple to use and made the naming journey much less stressful. Highly recommend Namely for soon to be parents! ‌ ​ ‍‍

Such a great idea!!!

Take the stress out of trying to think of names - so many different names I have never seen or thought of before. Love it!!!

Mucho good.

The first 3 out of 4 names it generated were awesome & I hadn’t come across in the previous apps my wife & I had tried. Super simple to use. Will definitely be recommending to my friends.
