Choose a baby name you both love

Baby Name Match Finder is a free baby name finder for couples. Instead of arguing over a shared list, you and your partner each swipe baby names privately, and the app instantly matches you on the names you both love. Think of it as a name finder and matcher in one, no account needed to start.

How it works

1. Swipe privately. You each go through the deck on your own, love ❤️, maybe 🤔, or pass ✕, so nobody's choices are swayed by the other person.
2. Match automatically. The names you both love appear in a shared Matches list. Names one of you likes (and neither rejects) land in Maybe for discussion.
3. Invite your partner with a private link, they join your room without needing an account of their own.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a baby name app for couples?

Yes. Baby Name Match Finder is a free baby name app made for couples: you and your partner each swipe through names, and it shows the names you both love as matches, so you can agree on a name together without arguing.

How can couples agree on a baby name?

Choose independently first, then compare. Each partner swipes privately, and only the names you both like become matches, so you focus on common ground instead of vetoing each other's picks.

Is it free?

Yes. Baby Name Match Finder is completely free and supported by unobtrusive advertising. You can start swiping without creating an account.

Do both partners need an account?

No. One partner creates a free account to get a private room link; the other simply opens the link and starts swiping, no account required.

How does the matching work?

You each swipe through names privately. The app compares your choices and shows the names you both marked as loved, so you never have to negotiate name by name.

Where do the names and statistics come from?

Every name and its popularity figures come from official government birth-registration records across the US, UK, Ireland and New Zealand, not estimates or surveys.
