Share Baby Names With Your Partner, in Real Time

Notes-app lists, screenshots in group chats, names scribbled on the back of a receipt — sharing baby name ideas is usually messy. Namely links you and your partner once, then keeps everything in sync automatically, whether you're on the same sofa or in different time zones, on iPhone or Android.

Why it matters

Partner Linking & Sync at a glance

Link with your partner once and stay in sync across iPhone and Android.

  • Link in seconds

    Send an invite link or share a 6-letter code — that's it.

  • Works across platforms

    One partner on iPhone, the other on Android? No problem.

  • Real-time sync

    Likes and matches update instantly on both phones.

  • Link once, stay linked

    No re-linking every session — your connection persists.

How partner linking works

After you install Namely, you'll find your personal invite code in the app. Send your partner the invite link, or read them the 6-letter code. They open Namely, enter the code, and your accounts are connected instantly.

Your partner doesn't even need an account beforehand — the invite link walks them through getting set up and joining you in one go.

What stays in sync between you

Once linked, Namely keeps the important things shared — and the private things private:

  • MatchesEvery name you both liked appears on both phones the moment it's created.
  • Match countThe home screen shows a live count of your shared matches.
  • Shared preferencesThe AI generator can blend both partners' styles into one list.
  • Private swipesIndividual likes and passes stay on your own phone until they become a match.

Made for mixed iPhone and Android couples

Plenty of couples don't share a phone platform, and many baby name apps quietly ignore that. Namely is available on both the App Store and Google Play, and a linked couple works exactly the same regardless of which phone each of you has.

Perfect for busy schedules and long distances

You don't need to sit down together to make progress. Swipe on your commute, during a lunch break or late at night — your partner will see new matches the next time they open the app. It's a gentle, low-pressure way to keep the conversation going through the months of pregnancy.
