One Little Name
Discover a name together, then actually agree on it.
A baby-name discovery and decision app for couples, co-parents, and solo parents. Instead of a single swipe-to-match, One Little Name helps you define what you're looking for, discover a manageable number of names a day, rate the ones you like, and combine first and middle names - then compare and rank everything together to reach a real decision, not just a shared shortlist.
About
Most naming apps stop at a shared shortlist. One Little Name is built to get you further than that: set preference filters for style, origin, length, popularity, and era, then work through a daily discovery queue paced to your due date so it never feels like a chore. Names you both love jump the queue with a "Love" action, and every "yes" can carry an optional rating and a note - so months later you still remember why a name made the cut.
From there, ranking and pairwise comparison tools turn a pile of liked names into an actual order, and first- and middle-name combinations get generated from your favorites for mutual approval. Whole naming projects can be shared with a partner, co-parent, or invited family member, each with their own onboarding and notification preferences - so everyone stays in sync without anyone spoiling the surprise.
