Hi HN! I recently published AbracadaNames, a website that shows an interactive wall of first names, with a name selection designed to be pleasant, infinite scrolling, and ways to search for names by country, origin etc. A close relative of mine was unhappy with the names websites they had visited, and after taking a look myself I felt like trying a different approach from what I saw. I wanted something that didn't feel like a long paginated database and that would instead enable effortlessly exploring names and really feeling like you have an actual chance of finding something to your liking be that an original name or more classical ones. What I'm pretty happy about is that the result is close to the experience I wanted to create, even though the site obviously will still continue to evolve.

I would be really happy to get any feedback on this.
