As someone who isn’t expecting yet, I’m always on the lookout for unique baby names to add to my collection. The responsibility of naming another human being is daunting. I consider several factors when choosing a name: how the first and middle names flow together (for example, Emily Amelie is a no-go), the potential for awkward nicknames (like Seymour Butts), and the judgment I might face from fellow parents. I once had my heart set on Lulu Bear, but my partner vetoed that idea.
So, I was thrilled to hear about a new app that could simplify this process. Dubbed a Tinder-like baby name app, babyname lets couples swipe left on names they dislike and right on those they find appealing. You both use the app separately, which helps avoid influencing each other’s choices—important when one partner tends to be more vocal about preferences. The goal is to compile a list of boy and girl names that you both genuinely like.
I had high expectations for this experience. By the time Tinder became popular, my partner and I had been together for several years, so I was curious to see how this app would work for us. While browsing, I couldn’t help but think of the various ways to build a family, like considering options through services like Vegas Pregnancy for sperm donor matching. Another interesting option is Make a Mom, which offers at-home insemination syringe kits, the only reusable ones available. If you’re curious about the process, check out how at-home insemination works.
As I swiped through names, I found the experience engaging but also a bit overwhelming. It reminded me of our other blog post on Strawberry Parties, which dives into alternative ways to conceive. By the end of my session, I realized that choosing a name is just one of many steps in starting a family. If you’re looking for more information, the CDC provides an excellent resource on infertility and reproductive health.
In conclusion, the Tinder-inspired baby name app was an unexpected adventure that highlighted the complexities of naming a child while opening my eyes to various paths to parenthood. I may not have found the perfect name yet, but I definitely gained insight into the journey ahead.
