Private first
Parents shape the listStart with your own ideas before sending anything to the group.
How it works
From name ideas to a decision everyone can feel part of.
Our Baby Name gives parents a private way to shape the shortlist, invite the people they love, and use ranked voting to see which names keep standing out.
Better signal
Ranked choicesSee which names people keep coming back to, not just one loud favorite.
Step 1
Save name ideas privately.
Parents start with a private name board. Add first names, try them with the family name, and keep the brainstorming calm before anyone else weighs in.

Step 2
Build a shortlist worth voting on.

Invite the people who care.
Grandparents, family, and friends join with their own place in the baby space. Parents decide who they are to the baby when they invite them.

Step 4
Let everyone rank favorites privately.
Ranked voting gives better signal than a single yes-or-no vote. Each person can make thoughtful picks without turning the group chat into a debate.

Questions parents ask
Private, simple, and built around the parents' decision.
What is Our Baby Name?
Our Baby Name is a private baby-name voting app where parents collect name ideas, build a shortlist, invite family and friends, and use ranked voting to see which names stand out.
Who is it for?
It is for expecting parents who want a calmer way to include grandparents, family, and friends in the baby-name process without turning the group chat into a debate.
Can parents keep control of the shortlist?
Yes. Parents collect name ideas privately first, choose the names they want feedback on, and decide when to invite people or share results.
How does voting work?
Invited people rank their favorite names privately. Ranked voting gives parents more signal than a simple yes-or-no poll because it shows which names keep rising across the group.
Can invited family members see everyone else's votes?
No. Voting is private until parents choose to reveal results, which keeps the experience low-pressure and fun.
Ready when you are
Start simple. Invite people when the list feels ready.
You can begin with just a few names, then bring family and friends in once there is something fun to vote on.
Our Baby Name works well for parents who want family input without making the baby-name decision feel public.
