Just like searching for recipes, searching baby names can be a miserable SEO-hijacked/ad-stuffed slog, so this really makes a difference.
I did encounter a small bug: I use Android (Pixel 5), the sharing tab wasn't working for me, I get a "Something went wrong sharing your names list" error. But we just texted the list to each other to share names, so it worked out.
We recently had our first child and finding a name for him was extremely difficult. We tried using books and apps but they weren't that helpful. Part of the problem was that we wanted a name that would work in both english and spanish, and wasn't too popular or trendy. I found that I hated most boy names, especially the ones that are trendy today (Aiden, Jaiden, Zaiden). Feel free to name your kids whatever you want,…

Even worse is that where I am from there is no legal way to get rid of it (and believe me - I tried). This means that until the end of my life I am stuck with a name that no-one uses, I personally very much dislike, I always have to enter in forms and can't get rid of.
Congratulations!

In my experience, upper and upper-middle class kids get common names, usually a bit on the conservative side, nothing that sticks out too much. Never crazy spelling, never unique names.
Procreation is the last thing the world needs.

Never say never.
My wife is pregnant and we just had a really good time going through names, thanks for this!
