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…

There's should be a 'Tinder' style option where you and partner both pick names you like and it only shows you the overlap.
It does let you see your partners lists too however, so it’s not completely hidden.
I've always loved the term "baby name". Makes it seem like you grow out of it eventually and have to switch to an adult name like "Roger" or "Raymond".
I see that is is Open Source, which is awesome. Would you consider distributing it on fdroid?
Yes! I still haven’t found time to do so for my other app (Time Cop), but I should probably just get my butt in gear and figure it out.
And thank you for using an Open Source license!
I always look for utility apps like these in fdroid first, so I know if I were just out looking for something like this, I would be more likely to download it versus another app if it were in fdroid!
Ever since my wife was little, she had a particular name chosen for her son. So when we got pregnant, we already knew what the boy name would be. But we had fun coming up with a girl name, and that fun was both serious fun imagining a world in which we'd have a Megan or a Lily or a Lydia or whatever, and it was also very playful and ridiculous. We would one-up each other with what we thought were ridiculous names that just don't make sense (given our language, culture, etc.).
So then our son was born, and she got her wish for the name she's always wanted. Then when we got pregnant again, we got to go through the fun a second time around. One day, when my dad was over and was playing with our toddler, my wife and I were joking about silly names. "What about X if it's a girl? What about Y if it's a boy?" I got a call that night from my mom, very concerned.
"Have... have you decided on baby names? ... What did you decide?" I told her the two names we had (seriously) decided on. "Oh. Your father thought he heard some very bizarre names that you were thinking about." We had to explain our little game to her so she understood the situation.

There should be a ShouldThisBeAnApp website, and a ShouldThisBeAWebsite app :D
Make it a ShouldThisBeAMobileAppOrWebAppOrNativeApp service that has a native implementation on all these platforms.

I was scrolling through your app, looking at the names, and I was like “this is cool, but a popularity graph would be cooler.” Then I started wondering why some names were blue or red, so I tapped one, and it brought up a popularity graph. Well done. You’ve officially made a baby name app that doesn’t suck. Quite the opposite — haha, I just noticed there’s a dark mode too. Ok, between the custom dark mode and the hil…
