Namely

Namely is a mobile app that helps couples choose a baby name together by first letting each partner browse and swipe on names independently, then revealing which ones they both liked. The idea is to remove the back-and-forth debate of naming by surfacing genuine overlap in taste before any discussion happens. As a couple likes or skips names, the app's recommendation engine learns their shared preferences around sound, style, and origin and adjusts future suggestions accordingly. Names can be filtered by gender, starting letters, syllable count, cultural origin, compatibility with a surname, and sibling names already chosen, and the app draws from more than 60 cultural origins with meaning and pronunciation shown for each entry. To help couples actually decide, Namely includes structured decision tools such as "Partner Duels," a "Speed Review" mode, and veto tracking for names one partner rules out. Namely is built by Hog and Mole Pty Ltd, an Australian company, and is available free on iOS and Android, with over 10,000 downloads on Google Play. It is aimed specifically at expecting couples rather than individuals naming solo, and pricing beyond the free download is not detailed on the site.
