Filter the AI-powered queue to boy names only, then each partner swipes through strong, classic, and modern suggestions independently. Whether you love timeless names like James and Oliver, or something rarer like Cassius or Rafferty, Namely surfaces boy names you'd actually consider — and matches you when you both agree.

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.
