How It Works

ListMatch.ai is a baby name matcher where each parent builds their own list privately. No peeking, no vetoes — just a fun reveal of the names you already agree on.

1

Create your accounts

Each partner signs up separately and links together with a simple invite code. It takes under a minute.

2

Browse names privately

Swipe through 1,000+ curated baby names, or use filters to narrow by origin, style, or popularity. Heart the ones you love — your partner can't see your picks.

3

Build your list

Your favorites appear in a ranked list you can reorder and annotate. Add notes like "goes well with our last name" or "grandma's middle name."

4

Both tap "Ready"

When you've each gone through enough names, you independently mark yourself as ready. No pressure — go at your own pace.

5

Reveal your matches

The app shows only the names you both picked. No arguments, no vetoes — just the names you already agree on.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does ListMatch.ai work? +

Each partner independently browses and favorites baby names from a curated database. Your picks are completely hidden from each other. When both partners tap "Ready to reveal," the app shows only the names you both chose — your matches.

Can my partner see my list before the reveal? +

No. Your favorites list is completely private until both partners mark themselves as ready. Neither partner can see the other's picks, notes, or even how many names they've saved.

Is ListMatch.ai free to use? +

You can browse 100 popular names for free. A one-time upgrade of $4.99 unlocks all 1,000+ names with full details including meanings, popularity trends, famous associations, and cultural notes. One purchase covers both partners.

Do both partners need an account? +

Yes, each partner creates their own account and links together using a simple invite code. This is how the app keeps your lists separate and private until the reveal.

What if we have no matching names? +

That can happen — and it's totally normal. You can start a new round and try again with fresh eyes, or use the Browse tab to explore names together and discuss in person.

How many baby names are available? +

Over 1,000 curated names spanning dozens of origins and styles. Each name includes its meaning, pronunciation, popularity trend from 1950 to 2025, nicknames, famous associations, and cultural notes where relevant.
