Bothnames, a private baby-name decider for two parents

Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An offline Android app that lets two parents privately swipe through 16,423 names, find their mutual favorites, and narrow them to one.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

Bothnames uses one shared phone rather than accounts or synchronized profiles: each parent privately swipes, and the app reveals only overlapping choices after both sessions end. Remaining matches can be resolved through two-at-a-time comparisons, while the birth-star feature calculates nakshatra and pada from birth details. The page says the catalog spans 16,423 names and that birth details are not retained between sessions; it also points readers toward the Android permission declaration as a way to inspect its no-network claim.
