Baby Name Studio

Swipe Through Thousands of Baby Names

Discover names Tinder-style. Swipe left or right to quickly learn your naming preferences while our AI adapts recommendations in real time. Name Swipe is the fastest way to triage thousands of baby names from your phone — right for love, left for hide. After about 30–50 swipes you will have a real shortlist and a sharp taste profile that personalizes every other tool on Baby Name Studio.

How it works

  1. Open Name Swipe on your phone. Optimized for one-handed mobile use — works on any device with a touchscreen or mouse.
  2. Swipe right to love, left to hide. Each card shows a name with its meaning, origin, and popularity. Right adds to favorites, left removes from your stream for good.
  3. Watch the deck adapt. After 10–20 swipes the AI starts surfacing names matched to your taste profile — the deck gets smarter every tap.
  4. Review your shortlist. After 30–50 swipes you will have a real shortlist plus a refined taste profile that powers Quiz, Bracket, and Sibling Matcher.

Pro tips for parents

  • After 100 swipes, jump to the Bracket to settle the top of your shortlist.

Frequently asked questions

How does Name Swipe decide which names to show?

The first 10 cards are a broad sampling of the Top 1000. After that, the deck adapts to your right/left pattern using a style profile that updates after every swipe.

Can I get a hidden name back?

Yes — open the Hidden page from the menu and tap restore on any name.

Does Swipe work on desktop?

Yes. Drag with your mouse or use the arrow keys — but it shines on mobile, which is why we built it that way.

How many swipes before I have a real shortlist?

Most parents have a usable shortlist of 20–30 favorites after 30–50 swipes, and a sharp style profile after about 100.

Does Name Swipe show duplicate names?

Never. Once you have swiped on a name (love or hide), it will not reappear unless you restore it.

Is Name Swipe free?

Yes — completely free, no signup required.
