A baby name app where couples swipe privately

• Your partner cannot see whether you liked, loved, or passed on an individual name before they respond.
• A rejected name does not become a debate; only shared positive reactions rise into the mutual list.
• An invite connects the intended two people rather than publishing a list to friends or search engines.
• Personal inputs have specific boundaries. NameMatch uses surname and avoid-list choices to rank a round but does not save them to your account.
• Either person can return later and restore the active couple session after signing in.

1. 1

   Start alone, without a performance

   Swipe through a first round and react quickly. You do not need an account just to discover whether the deck fits your taste.
2. 2

   Save the names worth comparing

   At the end of a round, NameMatch summarizes what you liked. Sign in when you want those favorites synced and ready to share.
3. 3

   Send your favorites privately

   Your invite opens a short Match Sprint on your partner's device when eligible. They respond without seeing your individual votes.
4. 4

   Reveal only the overlap

   Mutual likes become matches. Your disagreements remain private, and the shared shortlist starts from genuine common ground.
5. 5

   Rank finalists separately

   Once you have enough matches, each person can rank the shortlist privately before the combined result is revealed.

A shared screen changes behavior. The first person to smile, hesitate, or explain a name gives the second person information before they vote. Separate devices make each response independent and let both people participate on their own schedule.

This does not mean partners should avoid conversation. It changes the order: react independently first, then discuss the smaller set of names that already has support from both sides.
