One good thing about the app is that it provides the name’s meaning and country of origin, so you can learn a bit more about each option. If you’re not looking for a totally unique name (and of course, there's nothing wrong if you are), you’re probably going to swipe left on a lot of Folkerts and Theodoruses (Theodori?) before you find your matches. Most parents-to-be will probably find that the app is trying to cover too much ground when it comes to name options. Yes, it's a real name, but it's not going to be on any top 100 - or even top 1,000 - baby name lists in the near future. To give you an example: While writing this, I just swiped left on Theodorus and Folkert.įolkert: That's not one you hear every day. I did swipe through a few popular names like Olivia, Sophia and Liam (all top baby names of 2021), but they were mixed with a good portion of names that I hadn't anticipated. I thought the app would have a lot of the names that you might find on those yearly top 100 baby names lists. But it took a lot of swiping to find those matches, in part because the name selection is not what I expected. By the time Tinder came out, I had been in a relationship with my husband for six years, so I missed out on the satisfaction of making a snap judgment with a single swipe.Īfter giving the app a try, I have to say that it’s pretty fun to use and might even reveal a few names that you never knew were on the table. My husband and I matched on 21 names, and we had only a handful of possible options before this. I had pretty high hopes for the whole process. Ideally, you end up with a list of boy and girl baby names that you both truly like. You and your partner both install the app on your phones, swipe left on names you don’t like, swipe right on names that have potential and get alerts when you match on a name.īecause you both use the app independently, it stops you from swaying each other’s picks (in case one of you is more outspoken - and I am). ![]() All Rights Reserved.Billed as a Tinder-like baby name app, babyname is pretty simple.
