Now There's a Tinder-Like App for Baby Names
Naming a baby isn't a walk in the park, and after about a day of throwing out ideas with your partner (and turning down all of their suggestions), you're probably ready to give up.
So that's when you turn to baby-name books, friends, online resources, and hours of endless scrolling. Do you pick a meaningful name? A quirky one? A trendy moniker? It's exhausting.
Welcome Kinder, a new app created inspired by the infamous Tinder, that wants to do all of the heavy lifting for you. Once you download the free app from the Apple Store or Google Play, you choose "Boy," "Girl," or "Don't Know Yet."

You enter in a last name, and then that's when the fun starts. Instead of awkward pictures and profiles of people, you see bright baby names pop up on your screen. All you have to do is swipe left for "no" and right for "yes."

You can also invite a partner to the app, so when they swipe right on a name that you've also agreed on, the screen turns green, letting you know that you have a match. Finally!

There's a good chance you'll find "the one" with this easy-to-use app, because the database holds over 18,000 names. But it's not perfect. There isn't a unisex name option yet, and as far as we can tell, there's no algorithm to the swiping process. So for example, even if you hate those super unique, celebrity baby names, the app may not recognize that.
If you're a parent-to-be, Kinder will easily replace your daily Twitter scrolling with baby name swiping. Congrats, and we hope you find a match!
