Give it a try if you are in to self-hosting and over-engineering (your child?).
Nice looking app. There’s a whole series of apps that just boil down to nice UIs on a spreadsheet. Back in my day we had to use Google spreadsheets.
It was quite good, for any candidate name you could see popularity as a whole, trends from year to year - and it would give you ideas. Coming up with names is easy but but coming up with names that both of you like is the difficult part.
My dad said to me "don't give your boy one of those trendy new names, stick to something traditionally English" so I called him Æthelbert.
Your app is fucking amazing. Would it be possible to filter names by regions or language as well as decades ?
Thanks! I really wanted that in the app (and more filters besides), but the data source was the US Social Security administration (the easiest to access list of names I could find) [1], and it really only includes the number of people with a given name and sex for each year. To include the region / language would be a lot of data processing work that I sadly don't have time for. [1] https://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames…
I would love something like this that returns the intersection of names found in two cultures. E.g. I am British and my partner is Finnish, if/when we have kids we'll have to have to pick names that sound good in both languages.

This will be our second kid, and at least for us figuring out a name that we both love is hard. There are literally tons of baby-name apps out there, most of them more fully-featured and polished than Nom de Bébé and you should probably use one of those. However a lot of them include a disturbing amount of tracking or for any number of reasons just didn't work for my wife and I (bugs, subscriptions, lack of names, et…
Since everyone is asking for features: do you think you could add a filter for country, please?
