How it works
A few minutes on the sofa. A name you both love. Make finding it part of the adventure.
- 01
Swipe
Right for the names you love, left for the ones you don’t. One name per card, big and clear.
- 02
Link up
Share your 6-character code with your partner. Nobody is linked without accepting, and names you both liked before linking become matches right away.
- 03
Match
Like the same name and it’s a match – with a notification on both phones. Celebrate, then keep swiping.
The app
A little swipe. A big beginning.
Explore the app. Scroll through the screenshots or select an image to enlarge.
Made for both of you
Discover baby names, origins and meanings
Origins and meanings
Every card tells you where a name comes from and what it means, where that is known. Switch your family name on and the cards read “Paul Berger” instead of “Paul”.
Suggest your own
Missing a name? Add it yourself: it slips unnoticed into your partner’s deck within their next 20 swipes. Suggesting counts as a like – if they like it too, it’s an instant match.
Matches, charts, notifications
Every match lands in your list with a notification on both phones. The charts show the 20 most popular names overall, this week and today.
A name for your new beginning
Which name is right for your baby?
A favourite name is more than a list entry. Start with what matters to you, then find the names you both love.
Girl names and boy names
Looking for a girl name or a boy name? Choose your gender filter in the app, or explore both. Swipe independently before comparing your shared favourites, so each of you gets a say.
Rare and international baby names
Explore names from 11 countries, including Austria, Germany, the UK and the USA. Mix countries to discover familiar first names and less familiar ideas. The charts show what BabyDuo users like; they are not official birth rankings.
Name meanings and your family name
Read a name’s origin and meaning where available, then try it with your surname on the app’s cards. Say the full name aloud together: does the rhythm sound right, and do you like the initials?
Is BabyDuo free?
Yes. BabyDuo is free and ad-supported: swiping uses energy, 30 swipes per hour, and when it runs out you can watch a short ad to refill. If you would rather swipe without ads or limits, the app offers an ad-free pass for 7 days at a small price.
Does my partner need the app too?
Yes – each of you installs BabyDuo and creates an account. In Settings → Partner, one of you enters the other’s 6-character code and sends a request; the other accepts it, and from then on every name you both like is a match. Names you liked before linking count too.
Can we use different phones?
Yes. Your account lives on our server, not on the phone, so it does not matter which devices the two of you use – and you can switch phones without losing anything.
Where do the names come from?
From the official first-name statistics of 11 countries – Austria, Germany, the USA, the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Sweden, Poland and the Netherlands – with origin and meaning where known. You choose which countries feed your deck. None of these agencies endorses BabyDuo or had any part in it.
What does my partner see?
The names you both liked, the names you suggested, and how you rated a match. A pass on a catalogue name stays yours alone – swiping is blind by design, so you can be honest.
How do I delete my account?
In the app: Settings → Delete account. It takes effect immediately and permanently. If you can no longer open the app, the delete-account page explains what to do. Delete account →
