Why baby-name lists cause arguments
Shared spreadsheets force two people to react to every name at once, in front of each other. That turns naming into a negotiation. A better approach is to let each person swipe privately, then look only at the overlaps.
A calmer process that works
- Set your preferences first. Choose gender (boy, girl, or both), origin (Biblical, Modern, Celtic, and more), and style (classic, unique, trending).
- Swipe independently. Each partner keeps names they love and dismisses the rest — no pressure, no debate.
- Compare matches. Focus the conversation only on names you both liked.
- Review the analytics. See your top matches and style distribution to understand what you really want.

Tips for finding "the one"
- Swipe in short sessions so choices stay instinctive.
- Use origin and meaning filters to honor family or heritage.
- Shortlist together, then say each finalist out loud with your last name.
