Real words from real parents who put The Shortlist through its paces.

"It would have taken away the need to talk to everyone about our name ideas — and limited all those outside opinions."
Mum of two · rated it 9/10
★ 5/5 ease

"Swiping on a name is about as easy as it gets — and the tie-breaker tool was just as simple to use."

Mum of two
★ 5/5 for the names

"The names were lovely, with beautiful meanings. I'd genuinely have used one or two of them myself."

Mum of two
★ The Journey · 5/5

"Those three vetoes would have saved us many an argument over baby names."

Mum of two
★ 8/10 would recommend

"A really solid baby-name app with tons of potential."

Mum of one

"One central hub instead of researching all over again every time we talked about names — that would have been so helpful."

Mum of one

"You each privately pick the names you like, and it surfaces your top names together — no more going down a list every time you talk about it."

Mum of one

"Finding out you matched on the same name without ever discussing it — that part is really fun. It worked perfectly for us."

Beta tester

"Loved the thoughtful details — the rhythm beats, hearing a name said aloud, and all the ways to share and save."

Beta tester

"Very easy on the eye — something really cosy about the colours and the design."

Dad of one

"A fun and genuinely useful way to explore new names."
