This is so amazing. I love this app. Though, I would recommend getting the upgraded version cause there are more options

Awesome name app! Tells origin, meaning, popularity and my favorite names for siblings or similar names. This is how we found both our kids names!
Best name app
cheeseyweezy
I’ve tried lots of name finder apps and this is by far the best one. It’s very easy and simple to use. There are TONS of names on this app with multiple different spellings. I love the categories and gender organization. I also love how you can favorite and organize your favorites list. I think one thing it could improve on is name meanings. Most of the names on the app don’t have a meaning listed for it because it is “unknown”. And then I’ll go to my browser to “thinkbabynames.com” and am usually able to find the meaning on that site. If the creators of this app could improve that aspect I would give it a 5 star rating!
things to improve
ItsThatDangLindseyAgain!?
i enjoy using the app. it has been really fun and helpful for looking up random names and finding out random stuff about them. i would like to buy full version but i cant yet because i dont have any money. but when i get money i will definitely pay for the full version. it is a very good app but there are things that could be added or improved in an update and then i would be pleased. here they are: 1. the name info is 2 years behind. this is 2018 and its showing stuff from 2016? whats with that?! i started using the app in 2016 and at that time it was showing stuff from 2014...so something weird is going on with the dates here and i would like it to be from the current year not from the year before last. 2. i love to look up meanings of names and the app has lots of them but i notice that some of the most common names dont have meanings when they should so that disappoints me. i know that you cant really control name meanings since you didnt actually create the names but i do hope you can find new meanings and update them to the app soon to make it more interesting. im not saying to just go google “name meanings” because i would like accurate info here and i still dont know if google search results are actually true or not but i would like for you to put in the effort to find meanings for these names to the best of your ability please. 3. while were still on the subject of name meanings there should be an easier way to find names of a certain meaning. i can find a name with a meaning i like but i will most likely forget what the name was but remember what it meant and i have no easy way of finding the name because of that. if there was a search thing for just meanings that would be fantastic and i would be overjoyed. 4. this isnt really a big deal but i notice some misspellings of words like greek and mighty (greek is spelled greep and mighty is spelled mghty) and it bothers me. i know im not a perfect speller either and its just a couple of mistakes so dont take this as an insult but i would really appreciate if you could correct these please but please do not think i am being rude im just trying to help. 5. i really dont think a lot of people are going to care whether a name is democrat or republic so that feature is a little bit completely useless. 6. how come the app always opens up to john?! i dont understand the logic behind that. maybe if there was like a home menu it would open up to instead that would be better and neater i think. please add that. now that ive gotten all the negative stuff out of the way lets move on to the positive things!!! 1. i love how easy it is to narrow down what names you want to look at. 2. i love how the names have a pronunciation because otherwise i would just be embarrassing myself. the only i would change is that some pronunciations sound like grhblgrhblgrhbl to me so maybe they need to be rerecorded but that is the tiniest little detail so im not at all worried about it just wanted to point it out for the sake of others. it doesnt bother me in the least. 3. ok so this may be a bug or something but i am begging you PLEASE DO NOT FIX IT IT IS THE GREATEST AND THE BEST BUG EVER KNOWN TO MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the free version of the app is supposed to have ads right?!?! well it doesnt!!! it has like 1 ad at the bottom of the screen when you first open it but it goes away after a while and no more ads show up for the rest of the time and sometimes it isnt even there at all to begin with. this makes me feel very happy!!!!! i love this bug very much and do not want you to fix EVER!!!!!!!!!! 4. i thought it was really cute how on the name miley the meaning was smiley from miley ray cyrus. theres really no other explaination for that name and im super glad you didnt just label it as unknown because that would just be dumb. so thank you for putting it like that!!! 5. there is a way to remove the xxx factor/stripper quotient people: when your looking at a name touch the 3 lines in the top left corner and it should open a menu then tap turn features on or off under configure and then find stripper quotient/xxx whatever its called on the list and slide the button to off. there now you dont have to look at it anymore! so yeah this app is pretty great and i like it. it needs improving done to it in sone areas but other than that it a fantastic thing to use when your bored to death of snapchat or instagram or whatever you normally use. thank you so much for reading and GOODBYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Offensive “stripper quotient”
Berd ber ber
The app is a nice way to organize names but the “stripper quotient” feature is tasteless and offensive. It’s also misogynistic and anti-sexwork. And it’s just weird that people are thinking about the far-future sexual/economic behavior of their unborn children. That feature taints the whole experience - I would consider upgrading but now I’m just going to delete.
Extremly easy to use!

Finally an app that contains all the information I was looking for when I was looking for the perfect name for my baby it gives you the origins and the popularity! Love it!
