How it works

  1. 01

    Open a room

    Choose girl, boy or both, and filters like “not in the top 10” or two syllables. You see exactly how many names fit before you start.

  2. 02

    Send your partner the link

    It opens in any browser. They type the name you should see them as and start voting. No app, no account, no email.

  3. 03

    Say yes or no on your own

    You only see the names you both said yes to. Family can vote too, as a separate list that never decides a match.

  4. 04

    Rank, note, lock in

    Order your matches, leave notes for each other, and lock in the name. The room stays as a keepsake.

A name you rate never comes back.

Every card dealt to you is written to a seen list on our server before you see it, so a name can’t reappear after a reload, on another device or a month later. You and your partner walk the same shuffled order, which is why matches show up early instead of after hundreds of cards.

Changed your mind? Undo brings back only the card you just rated. When you’ve rated every name that fits your filters, we say so rather than repeat one.

How Name Match works, in detail

What we don’t do

  • No swipe limit and no paywall on matching.
  • No invented meanings. A meaning appears only with a cited source and a confidence label; otherwise the card says it hasn’t been researched.
  • No “origin” filter we can’t back up. Filters use Social Security counts only.
  • No personal data in share cards: the image shows the name and its public curve, never your room or who you are.
  • No ads and no third-party trackers.

Ready when you are. It takes a minute.
