What, has everyone forgotten the legendary babynamewizard.com? It was one of the few java applets that succeeded. Seems to be still kicking, probably rewritten in javascript. https://www.babynamewizard.com/voyager#prefix=&sw=both&exact...
So glad I don’t have kids
Remove names: Unknown, Unnamed, Unk and Unborn (Some of these have dupes with typos)
Add an option to not show twice names that are unisex, they should show only once but maybe with a multi colored card. This is useful for two things: 1. actually looking for unisex names (or avoiding them - a filter?), so you don't need to keep in mind or search on both sexes 2. Reduce the amount of total names to review
Also something to help reduce yet more variations, an option to group similar or very close related names together. Ex. I saw Ulisses then Ulysses then Uulisses and so on.
And lastly, a way to sort by popularity, so that I can review the less (or most) popular first.
Anyway, great app and congratulations for the baby.

We did a similar thing. Early on, our toddler proposed the name Bin-ban for his upcoming sister, and it stuck. We have a lovely video of the toddler explaining to Grannie a few hours after the birth 'her name is Bin-ban'. 'Oh , yes, but she has a real name'. We called her Bin-ban for a few more weeks until she sort of grew into her 'real' name. That beautiful little original name is a very fond memory for us.
