About this app

One Little Name is a baby-name app built for making the decision together - not just swiping until you both say yes.

Tell the app what kind of name you're looking for — style, origin, historical period, and more — and discover a manageable number of names each day instead of an endless list. Rate the ones you like, add notes, and see how your choices compare with your partner's or co-parent's. Works solo too, if you're deciding on your own.

DISCOVER, TOGETHER
• Detailed preference filters, including historical period
• A daily discovery limit that can auto-pace itself against your due date, so
it never feels like swiping fatigue
• "Love" a name to bring it straight to the top of your shared list
• Search the full name catalogue directly, or submit a name that's missing

RATE, RANK, AND COMPARE
• Optional 1–5 ratings with personal notes on any name
• Individual and collective rankings, so you can see where you agree — and
where you don't yet
• Head-to-head Compare mode: pick a winner between two names (or two
combinations) and see if your partner picked the same one
• Get notified the moment you and your partner both like the same name

BUILD COMBINATIONS
• Generate first-name and middle-name combinations from your favorites
• Rank combinations individually and together to find your strongest options

DECIDE TOGETHER
• Invite a partner, co-parent, or trusted family member to a shared naming
project
• Keep everyone's ratings and rankings in sync
• Explore name meanings and cultural or religious naming traditions
