Stop the Baby Name Arguments — Match Together

You love Aria, they love George, and every conversation ends in a standoff. Baby name debates are one of the most surprisingly stressful parts of pregnancy — and they don't have to be. Namely removes the back-and-forth entirely. Both partners swipe through names in private, with zero influence on each other's choices. A match only appears when you've genuinely both said yes — which means when it happens, neither of you is giving in. You've actually agreed.

How it works

Three steps to find the name you both love.

  1. Step 1

    Link with your partner

    Share a 6-letter code. Your partner enters it and your swipe sessions are connected instantly.

  2. Step 2

    Swipe independently

    Each of you browses and votes solo. Your partner can't see your choices until you both agree.

  3. Step 3

    Celebrate your match

    The moment you both like the same name, Namely reveals a match. Just joy.

Common questions

How does Namely prevent baby name arguments?
Because both partners vote privately, there's no negotiating, no vetoing, and no pressure. You swipe through names in your own time and your partner does the same. A match only appears when you've independently both liked the same name — so there's nothing to argue about.
What if we just can't agree on any name?
Keep swiping. The AI generates a personalised queue based on both partners' stated preferences, so over time the suggestions get closer to your shared taste. You can also use the 'Names to Avoid' feature to pre-exclude anything you know won't work.
Can we see each other's votes to compromise?
No — and that's intentional. Seeing each other's lists leads to influence and pressure, which is exactly what creates arguments. Namely keeps votes private so that every match is a genuine mutual yes.
