### 3/5 — Médio

*2026-03-07, version 4*

Não funciona a pesquisa
Falta alguns nomes (o da minha mãe é Kaline)
Para ver mais precisa de um app que foi banido no meu país!!!
Mas é bom
Então nota neutra

### 2/5 — Can you please add more names ?

*2022-09-11, version 4*

Why doesn't it have Ava? or some other names? All im asking is can you please add some other names?😅Not all people have normal names but some of the ones are common namea

### 4/5 — Pls add my name

*2021-09-20, version 4*

My name is Avei and i think this app would be awesome (to me) if you added my name! It’s super cool if you wanna figure out your friends names, They will think your so incredibly smart! Over all,great game!btw bella_beautyunicorns calm down,they cant read your mind

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2021-04-14, version 4*

This app is horrible. It doesn’t have my whole family’s names. Maleigh (my name) isn’t there. Jackeline (my older sister’s name) isn’t there. Charlie (my older brother’s name) isn’t there. Juliana (my baby sister’s name) isn’t there. Tracey (my mom’s name) isn’t there. Adame (my dad’s name) also isn’t there. Please add more names all I’ll be happy with this app.

### 1/5 — My name is Anaïs

*2021-02-13, version 4*

Put it in there, I give you 5 stars

### 1/5 — Bruh-

*2020-12-01, version 4*

Ava is a common name so why is it not there -_-

### 3/5 — It was allright.

*2020-05-13, version 4*

I think this app relies on the opinions of random people too much rather than using true facts!

### 1/5 — Do not recommend

*2020-05-01, version 4*

Not my or my friends names were there

### 1/5 — Offended

*2020-04-15, version 4*

I understand that it’s just a game but not having the name india in it is just really annoying. Sorry but it’s true

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE

*2020-03-24, version 4*

I went to see my surname Parnaby and it is an uncommon one but I never found it and when I searched it it never came up.

I will never use it again so don't bother if you have an uncommon name like me.
It is probably trash for others so don't bother 
Would NEVER RECOMMEND TERRIBLE TERRIBLE.
If you want to know your surname origin don't bother because you will end with apps like this
1 star would make it 0stars.
NEVER DOWNLOAD TRUST ME

### 1/5 — 👿👿👿🤬🤬🤬

*2020-03-06, version 4*

This game got my brothers name meaning right but it didn’t have my name i didn’t even know if all the names meanings were correct so I went to the name Sarah I know the meaning of this name the meaning is(little princess)but it said the meaning was lady so if I where you u wouldn’t get this game.

### 1/5 — I was disappointed

*2020-03-02, version 4*

I was very disappointed it had margarita on it but it didn’t have McKenna which made me very disappointed and made me hate this app.

### 1/5 — HATE IT!!

*2020-01-05, version 4*

This app is not a good app at all. I have 2 reasons… 1. It doesn’t have my name (Allyson) and… 2. It says that some names are just for females or males and I think that is sexist. I don’t recommend this app.

### 1/5 — Where’s my name???

*2019-11-23, version 4*

My name is not even on the app. if your name is Giuliana your NOT there.   Please add my name before I will keep doing terrible reviews.

### 1/5 — Why not Zev??

*2019-11-15, version 4*

My name Dexter was on there and that’s already a pretty uncommon name, so why didn’t you guys add my cousin’s name, Zev, huh?

### 4/5 — Really great just one thing

*2019-11-12, version 4*

I mean this thing isn’t your fault because how are you supposed to know every existing name on the planet but, you didn’t have my name and my name is one of the president’s names. (Well it kinda is, it is Kennedy. ) And two you had TONS of different Kaitlyn’s in there (I just spelled it like that because I found out it is spelled like that a lot.) but you didn’t have my bff’s name spelled as K-A-Y-T-L-Y-N-N. I mean it’s not your fault for any of this but I mean, just saying for future reference. I am just saying, if you feel like downloading this app, go ahead but if it doesn’t show your name I recommend just looking it up.

### 3/5 — Not enough names.

*2019-11-06, version 4*

Although the meanings of the names seem to be correct, there are not enough of them. I have searched many of my friends names (which are common names) and the app tells me that there is no such thing. Love the idea though.

### 1/5 — Put more name

*2019-09-11, version 4*

Please put my name Alyssa I did not delete the app yet so please add my name

### 1/5 — If I could I would give 0 stars.

*2019-08-11, version 4*

DO NOT GET THIS APP.

Like I love name meanings, but there are hardly any common names on there. My and another close friend to me, our names are not on there - Luke and Matilda.
HOW COMMON IS THE NAME LUKE!
So common and it’s not in there.
I totally understand that the developers of this app cannot supply meanings of all names across the world, but the name Luke is so common in my opinion. 
Also, it hardly gives you a description of names at all. Like all I saw for the name Megan- my cousin- Was:
A pearl
That’s all it gives.
You are way better off looking at baby name meaning sites online for decency, accuracy and description.
Thanks for reading

### 1/5 — Disappointing App

*2023-12-17, version 4*

I’m sorry to tell you that unfortunately, this app doesn’t have enough unique names. Especially for the ones that are new. There should’ve been more names than this. Some of my family members names are either not on there or haven’t got enough meaning to it. Sorry guys, but it’s disappointing me

This app is really great except I tried to search up my friend's name which is Sabrina and it didn't give me any results. I REALLY hope you put this name in PLEASE! Thank you and have a GREAT day!

### 5/5 — Good

*2015-06-17, version 4*

Guys if your name was not there plz don't be upset imagin if you made the app. 1 how is he or she supposed to know what every single name in the world mean and put them in the app. Finally imagein how sad he would be feeling reading all the mean comments! He would be kind of like this “waaaaaaaaa Waaaaaaaaa 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭”.

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2015-06-02, version 4*

This app, like the meaning of my name, is "Champion"! Had great fun finding out not only about the meaning but also the origin of names too! There are loads of names available.
Neil D
P.S. - Did you get my emails? ;)

### 5/5 — Guys, stahp

*2015-04-24*

The app of course isn't going to have everyone's name. So sorry if your "feelings are hurt" just because your name is rare. You should be happy that your name is rare.

### 5/5 — HAYLEY

*2015-04-15, version 4*

You have my name but you spelt it the wrong way. My name is Hayley.

### 5/5 — Piper

*2015-04-13, version 4*

My name is piper can you put me in the game
