Getting started
What is Name Our Little?
A baby-name app for two parents. Each of you swipes on names picked for your taste, on your own phone. When you both love a name, it's a match.
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.
Do I need an account or an email?
No. Your private link is your key: keep it to yourself, and use it to open your list on another device.
Privacy and family
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.
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.
Choosing a name
What is the best app for picking a baby name with a partner?
Look for one where each of you swipes privately and only shared favourites are revealed. That's how Name Our Little works, and it also learns your taste, lets family send ideas, and helps you pick a top 3.
Are there names for our culture or faith?
Our curated names start with Arabic and Biblical names, with meanings. You choose the origins, faith and style you like, add your own favourites, and fresh suggestions follow your picks.
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.
What if we still can't agree?
Once you have five matches, "This or that" asks each of you to choose between pairs and ranks your shared top 3.
