How matching works

Your likes stay private until you both agree

You and your partner swipe on your own phones. A name only appears for both of you when you both love it, so nobody ever has to say no to a favourite.

  • Your partner never sees a name you liked alone
  • A match shows up for both of you at once
  • Names your partner loves come up for you sooner

Try it: tap the hearts

You play both parents here.

  • Layla
  • Noor
  • Elijah
  • Inaya

How it works

Three steps to a name you both love

Most couples start with two lists and a stalemate. This is how they end up with one name.

  1. Tell us your taste

    Girl, boy or not sure yet, plus the origins, faith and feel you're drawn to. Add names you already love.

  2. Swipe on your own phones

    Invite your partner. Each of you swipes privately, and fresh names keep coming, shaped by both your tastes.

  3. Match, then choose

    A name you both love becomes a match. When you have a few, "This or that" narrows them to your top 3.

Why couples use it

Made to end with a name

Everything is built around one goal: helping the two of you agree, kindly.

  • Private until you agree

    Your partner only sees a name you liked when they like it too. No awkward vetoes.

  • A deck that learns you both

    Fresh names follow your tastes, likes and passes. Names your partner loves come up sooner.

  • Family helps, you decide

    Send one link. Relatives suggest names and say why; they never see your list.

  • Decide, don't just collect

    When the matches pile up, "This or that" narrows them to your top 3.

  • Rooted in meaning

    Arabic, Biblical and more, with meanings and sources. AI suggestions are always labelled.

  • Works on any phone

    Nothing to download. It opens from a link, and you can add it to your home screen.

Names we know well

Start with a list you'll love

Every name comes with its meaning, where it comes from and how to say it. Save the ones you love and swipe them together.

Questions

Before you start

The things couples ask us most. Everything else is on the FAQ page.

Still wondering about something?

Write to us and a real person will answer: hello@nameourlittle.com

Is it free?

Yes. Name Our Little is free while it's in beta. There are no ads and nothing to buy.

Do we need to download anything?

No. It works in the browser on any phone or computer. You can add it to your home screen so it opens like an app, but you don't have to.

Will my partner see the names I liked?

Only the names you both liked. Everything else you swipe stays private, so nobody has to veto anyone's favourite.

Where do the meanings come from?

Curated names link to their source. Fresh suggestions come from AI and are labelled "AI-suggested meaning", because they're worth a quick check. You can report any that look wrong.

Can family suggest names?

Yes. Send the family link and relatives can suggest names with a reason. You decide what goes on your list, and they never see it.
