Any good baby name apps?

Our strategy was thus:

1) find out sex (halve the arguments!)
2) buy 1 book which included welsh names
3) pregnant one go through book and make list of liked names
4) discard any non-welsh DH couldn't pronounce
5) DH cross out any not liked

We ended up with a short list of about 12 names we both liked. She was handed to DH after she was delivered and he chose 2 names for her.

Job done.

Why you'd need books (plural) or apps is beyond me!

I don't think any lads would like the last three, though.

Ok, these are uni sex but I can't say I've ever known a man called any but les. Recent names I meant. And max, if that's your name, it's not chavvy - but I've never heard of a girl called Max.

Yes, there are kids called Pocahontas and Armani in my neck of the woods.

Armani's sister is also called after a fashion brand - Versace, I think, though I may have misremembered and perhaps she is Chanel. If she is Versace.

Do you live near Glasgow/airdrie? A friend of mine worked in a kids play centre and said there were kids called Versace and Pocahontas that came in regularly.

I have a (male) friend called Allison. I think he's quite proud of it.


One thing I am pleased about is that using apps/books or whatever to research names should result in correct spelling.


I was reading the results of baby competition in a local paper yesterday, some amazing spellings of names in there!

It's not my name.

I can't think of a unisex name that isn't chavvy!

Jocelyn is one of my favourite names, boy or girl.


I have also known a female Peter.

Of course some need so little change they are almost unisex. Francis/es. Grabriel/Gabrielle type things.
