I'd definitely try it once it's time to pick a name for my future child. But not sure, if there's enough market for it to make it sustainable... Looks cool though! Good luck!

    Thanks man, glad you like it! The sustainability is a good point! Within the US there are around 11k new borns per day and the average age of first time parents is 25.6 years old. Worldwide there are everyday around 370k new borns and the average age for first time parents is even younger (22.8 years old). That in combination with how much money first time parents spend for their new borns can be an interesting market. We are right now working on the next update. If you have any additional thoughts please let us know. Happy holidays!

So we would use this once or twice in our lives then never use it again? I don't think I need an app for that.

    Fair point! Based on research the finding a baby name phase is quite stressful experience. There are a lot of books, sites and tools out there. But it's all cluttered. Most of my friends used google docs to keep track of their progress. With Babyname we are working on a solution that simplifies the process + adds more fun to it. At the end you could name anything with it.
