About NameMatch

NameMatch is a couples baby-naming app. Instead of reading through endless lists and vetoing each other's favorites, partners swipe independently through a curated deck of baby names. When you both like the same name, it's revealed as a match.

The result: you discover surprising common ground without the arguments. The names you agree on surface naturally, and the ones you don't simply disappear.

NameMatch has one of the largest baby name databases available, spanning Italian, Greek, English, Hebrew, French, Irish, Norse, Japanese, Arabic, Spanish, Latin, Indian, and many more cultural origins. Every name includes its meaning, etymology, popularity trends, and style classification.

Most baby name apps show you random names or simple alphabetical lists. NameMatch is different: it watches how you swipe and builds a detailed taste profile. The engine tracks 69 dimensions of preference including phonetic patterns, vowel-to-consonant ratios, syllable counts, cultural origins, and thematic clusters (nature names, virtue names, literary names, and more).

The more you swipe, the smarter it gets. By swipe fifteen, the deck is personalized to your taste.

Your surname, avoid list, and personal data stay on your device in local storage and are never sent to our servers. We don't sell your data, we don't use advertising cookies, and we only track authenticated users with masked inputs. Your naming journey is yours.

NameMatch is a web app that works in any browser on your phone, tablet, or computer. Just visit name-match.com and start swiping. No app store, no installation, no friction.
