I think it's just the curve fitting on the chart widget, but I saw one name where the popularity went negative in the 2000's.
I didn't recognize the name at all, so I had to laugh seeing that.

Problem validation is a brilliant idea. Unique names though… there’s a certain safety in numbers that a common name affords. A unique name is very easy to target in searches.
And nobody ever understands you when you introduce yourself, or when they're trying to pronounce it from reading it. source: I have a very rare first name.
That depends upon where the person with that unique name lives, If the vocabulary is from the native language and the person lives in the same region then they don't have much of a trouble.
Then again non-unique names from native regions cannot be pronounced by non-native speakers, My name is far from unique and native English speakers have refereed to it as 'Ab...followed by several other syllables'.

#313Fully private — there is no tracking / spying / advertising / etc
That's great! But it's a sad world where that's a feature you have to lead with and not just an inherent assumption :-S.

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. Edit: Since the main goal of a unique name seems to be email id, social media…

Thank you, I've been running needgap for over 2 years.
You do have a point regarding security implications of the unique names, Considering people get swatted and have even died for their unique social media handle it might not be worth to pursue a unique name for that.

#315Charming and well-executed. Cheers! It makes me this this would be a quite good premise for a dating app. My intuition, after spending ample time with behavior data sets and related conversion data, is simple: people who would name their baby Ashley belong together, as do people who would name them Olivia or Jamari. It would be a wonderful experiment to see how this bears out.

#317This 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…

Interesting, I haven't had any trouble with concatenating my first & last name for my public handles like email and had never thought this was a problem. Perks of having a relatively unique last name I guess. My sympathy goes out to all the "John Smith"s of the world!

#318Would great to have an option where you and your partner can choose a name on their own (probably a tinder-like mode)

They could also stand with their decision, to stick it to all the user apps, that track you to oblivion ;)
It is possible to collect information, use it locally, and not upload it to a server.
of what relevance would such data be to the user who generated it?

First off, congrats on the kid. I love the app, and my wife and I are using it now.
Two things I've noticed so far that seem odd to me: 1. If you have a preference selected on Sex, open it back up and click off without making a selection, the selection is saved as "no preference," however, on other filters, clicking off cancels the changes.
2. When I selected the top 300 names from 2010, Masculine Only, I expected to see the top 300 Masculine names, but instead, it looks like you are returning the first 300 names then filtering from there.
