Ratings and reviews

I think this is the most complete baby name collection app available. All names are accompanied by meanings or at least an explanation of where they come from. There are also names of brothers/sisters that might match the name you choose, even professions that most people with that name have. The display is simple and you can use it offline. Good app!

I have had this app for a number of years, always found it the better of the baby name apps, however the upgrade has hugely decreased my enjoyment of this app. I liked that I could search easily, find names in my liked list based on when I added them, and get information about name meanings etc without bright colours/swiping/gimmicks! Unfortunately, the user interface has been ruined by this update and sadly I'm unlikely to continue using it.

There's a feature on this app that's supposed to tell you how to pronounce the names, but it's awful. It's a computerised voice which doesn't pronounce names properly, like a really low-budget Siri sort if thing. It either says the names too fast or just completely wrong altogether. It pronounced Artemis as "art-mis", Ares as "arse" and Aurora as "roar-a" to name a few. The rest of the app is well thought out but a lot of the pronunciations are terrible. Not happy considering I paid to upgrade.
