This Tinder-inspired App is the coolest trend for choosing a baby name

Katie Mythen-Lynch

Choosing baby names can be a stressful business. The pressure to pick the perfect moniker for your little angel can be the source of much disagreement between couples, but what if you could bypass the endless conversations completely?

Well, a special app is helping parents-to-be do just that.

BabyNameApp allows both parents to connect with each other through the programme and browse 30,000 potential baby names and their meanings.

A swipe to the right means you like a name, a swipe to the left means you don’t. Names that have been ‘right swiped’ by both parents are saved in a folder.

Fans have deemed the app ‘funny and clever’ as well as ‘helpful’, saying it takes the fighting out of the baby name conversation and adds a dose of fun in the process.

Watch the video for a full run-through on how it works or download the app on Android and iOS here.
