Choosing a baby name should feel like the first, fun, decision you make together, and that shouldn't happen in a spreadsheet. Name Party is a private baby name app for couples, co-parents, family, and trusted friends. Swipe through names, see where your taste overlaps, and turn scattered maybes into a shortlist you can actually decide from. Why parents use Name Party: - Swipe yes/no through a focused name deck - Invite your partner, family, or friends with private links - See shared matches and who liked each name - Make separate lists for partner, family, or friends - Filter by sex, origin, style, popularity, pronunciation, initials, and names to avoid - Add your own names and keep them in the same decision flow - Move favorites into a ranked finalist list - Explore origins, popularity, meanings, sibling fit, initials, sound, and full-name flow - No account or email required Built for the real naming moment: Maybe you love rare names and your partner wants familiar. Maybe grandparents have opinions. Maybe every name sounds different with the last name. Name Party keeps the conversation focused: vote first, compare second, decide together. Great for: - Expecting parents choosing a baby name - Couples searching for boy names, girl names, unisex names, unique names, classic names, rare names, and family names - Co-parents who want a low-pressure way to compare taste - Anyone trying to narrow a long list into a few names that feel real Start a private list, send the invite, and find the name that gets a yes from everyone who matters.
