#2This is fun and interesting. Attempted with a few combinations around Hindi/Indian, Arabic, Japanese, Latvian, and French, and the results are amazing!

#3Could that be based on pronounciation rules ?

#4Another use: character names for books, where some ambiguity of gender &/or background can be useful. Could have done with it a couple of years ago. For games too I guess

#5That's a great idea!
You can chose between feminine names, masculine names or both. At first, I thought “both” meant names that are gender-neutral but actually it means that you search for both feminine and masculine names. Which is nice, but a gender neutral option would be an even nicer addition!

#6A lot of people go this route. And this is a bloody neat tool to help you do so!
We chose not to though with our son though, since the list of names that works in both is small and largely unappealing. The list of names for girls is quite a bit larger with some good options. Instead we decided that since the family name is English the given name should be Japanese.
I think it worked out quite well.

Re: MixedName – Bilingual baby name finder
#8Very interesting. How did you develop the name lists for each language?

#9This is great. My wife and I spent many hours looking for names that work in both of our native languages / cultures that weren't super common and having a starting point would have been nice.

#10Nice little touch when you try to combine a language with itself.
