As someone who isn’t pregnant yet but is always on the lookout for potential baby names, the concept of a Tinder-like app dedicated to baby naming intrigued me. The responsibility of naming another human is daunting, and I often find myself pondering various factors: how well the chosen first and middle names flow together (for example, Emily Amelie is definitely off the list), the potential for embarrassing nicknames (nobody wants a child named Seymour Butts), and the inevitable judgment from other parents about our choices. (I once had a soft spot for Lulu Bear, but that idea was promptly vetoed by my partner.)
When I heard about the babyname app, which promises to streamline the often overwhelming process of selecting a name, I was eager to give it a try. This app allows both you and your partner to swipe left on names you dislike and right on those you find appealing. You receive notifications when you both agree on a name, meaning that each partner can independently express their preferences without the risk of one overshadowing the other.
I had high expectations for this experience. Just like my journey with my partner Jake, who I’ve been with for six years, I anticipated that the app would lead us to a list of names we both loved.
As I navigated through the app, I appreciated how it took the pressure off the decision-making process. It encouraged a collaborative approach to something that can feel intensely personal. While I was initially skeptical about how effective this method could be, I found it surprisingly enjoyable and engaging.

This can be a convenient way to start your family. And if you’re seeking community support, the Make A Mom Facebook group provides a free sperm donor matching service that could be beneficial.
