Built for the baby-name decision

Everything stays organized while you both explore.

NameNods keeps the process playful, but the results practical: liked names, mutual matches, partner setup, and family feedback all stay in one place.

Couples

Swipe separately, match together

Each partner can like or pass names on their own time. When you both like the same name, NameNods turns it into a match.

Matches

Instant match moments

Mutual favorites are saved in Matches so the short list is easy to revisit when you are ready to talk through options.

Favorites

Search liked names

Keep track of names you already liked, even before they become a match, and search your saved list when a name comes back to mind.

Discovery

Themes, trends, and meanings

Browse thousands of girl, boy, and unisex names by style, including classic, modern, nature, and celestial ideas with helpful context.

Family

Invite votes from people you trust

Once you have a short list, share a voting link with friends or family so they can weigh in without needing the app.
