Three steps to a name you both love
Most couples start with two lists and a stalemate. This is how they end up with one name.
Tell us your taste
Girl, boy or not sure yet, plus the origins, faith and feel you're drawn to. Add names you already love.
Swipe on your own phones
Invite your partner. Each of you swipes privately, and fresh names keep coming, shaped by both your tastes.
Match, then choose
A name you both love becomes a match. When you have a few, "This or that" narrows them to your top 3.
Made to end with a name
Everything is built around one goal: helping the two of you agree, kindly.
Private until you agree
Your partner only sees a name you liked when they like it too, so nobody has to veto a favourite out loud.
A deck that learns you both
Fresh names follow your tags, likes and passes. Names your partner loves come up for you sooner.
Family helps, you decide
Send one link. Relatives suggest names and say why; they never see your list.
Decide, don't just collect
When the matches pile up, "This or that" asks you both to pick between pairs until you have a top 3.
Rooted in meaning
Arabic, Biblical and more, each with its meaning and where it comes from. Names from AI are always labelled.
Start with a list you'll love
Every name comes with its meaning, where it comes from and how to say it. Save the ones you love and swipe them together.

Is it like Tinder for baby names?
A little. You each swipe right on names you love and left on the rest, on your own phone. The difference is that it's kind: your partner only ever sees the names you both loved, never your passes.
Is it free?
Yes. Name Our Little is free while it's in beta. There are no ads and nothing to buy.
Do we need to download anything?
No. It works in the browser on any phone or computer. You can add it to your home screen so it opens like an app, but you don't have to.
Will my partner see the names I liked?
Only the names you both liked. Everything else you swipe stays private, so nobody has to veto anyone's favourite.
Where do the meanings come from?
Curated names link to their source. Fresh suggestions come from AI and are labelled "AI-suggested meaning", because they're worth a quick check. You can report any that look wrong.
Can family suggest names?
Yes. Send the family link and relatives can suggest names with a reason. You decide what goes on your list, and they never see it.
Ready to find a name you both love?
It takes a minute to start, and your partner can join from a link.
