Before your
first swipe.
A calmer way to choose a baby name together. Here are the details.
How does baby name matching work?
You and your partner browse names separately and choose Love, Pass or Later. Once you connect with a private invite code, names you both love appear in Matches. You can turn on optional notifications for new matches.
Can I start choosing names on my own?
Yes. Start a guest account without an email or password, explore names and save your favourites. You can invite your partner whenever you are ready. An internet connection is required to load names and save choices.
Is Baby Name Matcher available to download?
Yes! Baby Name Matcher is available now on iPhone and iPad. Download it free from the App Store and invite your partner to find names you both love.
How much does it cost?
Baby Name Matcher is completely free to download and use, for both you and your partner. There are no ads, subscriptions, in-app purchases or paid feature unlocks.
Can we add a name we already have in mind?
Yes. Add a custom name to your linked couple’s collection and include it in your choices. You can also explore meanings, origins, pronunciations and nicknames where available.
Where do the name trends come from?
Trend charts use published baby-name statistics for England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland. Coverage varies by name, region and year. See our data sources and credits for details.
Are our names and account details private?
The app has no public profile or public name feed. Your account and choices are stored so matching works, and diagnostics help us fix problems. There is no advertising tracking. You can delete your account in Settings, including a guest account. Read the privacy policy or contact support.
