Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: NameGen at 63% against 取名字典's 0%. NameGen also leads on update cadence (every 8 months vs every 17 months). 取名字典's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
