Has anyone named their child with an accent character like è in the US? Have you run into any issues? What your experience has been?
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. For this particular combination girl names aren't too rare but there's very few boy names that come to mind.
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…
Congratulations on both the baby and the launch of the app! There's actually a need-gap for 'Suggest unique pronounceable baby names' posted on my problem validation platform[1]. Although I'm not sure how the uniqueness metric could be added to app, You're welcomed to post Nom de Bébé there in the comments to reach out to those who need it.

Great app, however I'm not sure "pink for girls, blue for boys" should be the only colour combination. After all, just less than a hundred years ago the colours were reversed.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
"Why isn't this a text file so that everybody can simply use their Unix shells to shuf -n 1 /usr/share/dict/baby-names".
Because you can already `shuf -n 1 /usr/share/rig/fnames.idx` (or mnames for male ones) or `vis-menu /usr/share/rig/fnames.idx >> momlikednames.list`, and `cat {mom,dad}likednames.list | sort | uniq -d` to find names both parents like. `shuf /usr/share/dict/words` was how I picked my HN username.
Can you add a feature to do cache invalidation too?
