How it works

From two lists to one name

Most couples start with two lists and a stalemate. Here's how Name Our Little turns them into one name you both love, kindly.

Step 1

Tell us your taste

Say who you're naming: a little girl, a little boy, or not sure yet. Then pick what you're drawn to, such as origins, faith, a feel like short or classic, or tags of your own.

If you already love a few names, add them. The deck looks for more like them.

Step 2

Invite your partner

Send your partner their own private link. They add their taste too, and it shapes the names you both see.

There's nothing to download and no account to make: each link is its own key, so keep it between the two of you.

Step 3

Swipe on your own phones

Each of you swipes privately: right for love, left for pass. The first names come from our curated lists, and fresh suggestions keep arriving, shaped by both your tastes and your swipes.

Names your partner already loves quietly come up sooner, so you match faster.

Step 4

It's a match when you both love one

Your partner never sees a name you liked unless they like it too. When you both do, it's a match, and you both get a little celebration. Nobody has to say no to anyone's favourite.

Try it: tap the hearts for both of you.

Step 5, if you like

Let family help

Send the family link to grandparents, siblings or friends. They suggest names and say why, and their ideas join your deck.

They never see your list, and you decide everything.

Step 6

Choose your top 3

Once you have five matches, "This or that" asks each of you to choose between pairs. It ranks a shared top 3, and you can share it as a card.
