Kinder - Find Baby Names

The app in itself is very fluid and I love the idea, but the paid name catalogue for a specific region (in my case FI and SE) was lacking big time and my chosen gender did not apply to the randomized names. The app simply did not help with our tough decision to give our baby a name.

Nightmare experience trying to use this. Partner connection doesn't work, then doesn't allow you to link two existing accounts once logged in. This feels like an incomplete beta staging environment rather than a fully functioning app. Cannot express how incomplete and unusable this app is.

Love the app so far but my wife can’t see our matches for some reason. Also I highly suggest a “super like” option. That would help sort the “yeah I kinda like that” from the “that’s one of my favorites’” and also (more importantly I think) give the ability to override one partner’s “eh not my favorite” with the other’s “I love it!” And allowing more conversation about that name rather than it going by the wayside because of one person’s indifference.

I was really excited to use this app after somebody recommended it to me. I got my account set up and chose the option to send my partner an invitation to join me and go through baby names together - but the app just sent an invitation without getting any info about my partner or who to send the invitation to. When I check the section for sending the partner the invitation, there’s no option to re-enter info, just an option to resend it. Who got my invitation? It’s supposed to be my partner, not a stranger, or maybe worse if thought an ex was my partner (because it’s connected to my Google account and I don’t know if that has outdated info somewhere on that account.) Honestly I’m just upset that some stranger/or potential ex partner is getting the invitation (and gives away information suggesting that I’m pregnant to people who have no business in my pregnancy) and the app won’t let me fix or edit it.

I don’t understand how an app can have such awful names. My wife and I even bought an expansion pack and spent 2 hours trying to find some halfway decent names. Literally first google results are better. If you want to select a name from random Wikipedia page like Buffington, this may be a great app for you.

This is the third baby name app I tried and why I like it better than others: 1. I didn’t have to create an account to use it. 2. There’s tons of names. Seemed like other baby name apps showed you the same 100 names over and over again. 3. I didn’t have to buy up the plan to get more names.

Fun app, really useful for introducing us to names we might not have known about/considered otherwise. An idea for a possible extension — the app is currently great for identifying names you and your partner both like, but it doesn’t help you decide between them. What we just wound up doing was taking a “long-short” list of names we both liked and generating a ranking using pairwise comparisons, which helped us narrow it down more systematically than trying to think through 25 names separately. That seems like the kind of thing that would be straightforward to implement in-app? In any case, definitely just a nice-to-have feature, not a need-to-have.

Not sure where this app is sourcing it’s names from, but they are either just plain boring or weird. I swiped for 10 minutes and didn’t see potential in a single one. I know it’s not that serious but I thought it would be at least a little bit helpful.

The app is a fun thing to share with my partner. What would make this a 5 star app is if the listed names also included meanings/definitions/translations/language of origin.

Great app. Played with a couple of similar ones. I appreciate the “back” button and the ability to add your own names for a partner to have come up in their feed.
