Kinder is a super simple name choosing app. Through Kinder you can quickly swipe name suggestions you like to the right and dismiss the ones you don’t like. You get one name set for free based on your location and if you want you can easily buy additional name sets for a small fee. You can connect to your partner to find matches. Purchased name sets will also be available for your partner. Kinder has over 18.000 names in the library with a grand variety in origins so you can find that unique name that your child will write history with! FAQ’s I can’t connect to my partner, please help! If you can’t connect it might be that the connection code is expired. Please try to invite each other once more. If that doesn’t help it might be your time settings; those must be set to automatic, otherwise the connection mechanism can’t connect you unfortunately. I don’t see our matches! We try to update matches every 30 seconds. So please bear with us! If after that time you still don’t see them, please try to restart the app. If I purchase a name set, will my partner also get these? Yes! It might not show up in a split second, but if you’re connected purchases will be shared. I bought a new phone, what will happen with my Kinder likes? We are very sorry, unfortunately we don’t have a feature to save your likes, dismisses and matches just yet. We are working on a solution to save these though. Who runs Kinder? Kinder is app started by me; Krijn Haasnoot. I’m a Dutch guy who had an idea after having dinner with a couple of friends years ago. They were having their first child and my question was: ‘How do you find a name?’. Their answer was: ‘Probably some books, the internet, family’. I immediately thought, ‘that can be more fun’ and I came up with the idea of using an intuitive swipe like selection mechanism used by another app, but than with baby names! And it should be able to match likes between partners!’ I don’t think Kinder is the end solution to choose the name for your child, I just hope to inspire, get the discussion going in a positive way and help out! Having a baby is a fun, sacred, but also tiring and possibly stressful time. Let’s take a small thing out and make it nicer. As you can read, Kinder is just a small one-man company.

Doesn’t work
Matches don’t share with each other, the lists of likes and dislikes glitch all the time. Gender select doesn’t stick.
Gender filter broken
This app is nice and everything you need EXCEPT the filter for name gender DOES NOT WORK! I select boy, save and then it immediately resets and goes back to any gender and shows me girl names again.
Good idea, but unusable
I told the app to generate boy names, and after a few, it goes back to all gender names. Additionally, I specified English names, and it gives me a lot of Spanish ones.
Several issues
You start to see the names over and over, so the app doesn’t actually retain your dislikes. Also, there is a setting to choose the gender but it doesn’t work and continues to show names for both genders. Lastly, I was unable to easily sync with my partner, so everything that drew me to this app ended up not working. Not sure why it has so many 5 star reviews!
Gender
It doesn’t stick with the gender I request in settings.
Can’t connect with partner
My wife and I have been using this thinking we would find matching names we like but the app never shows us matches. We have looked at each others likes and we have several that match but the app does not show them in the match tab.
More fun than Tinder
This is a fun app to use with your partner. I bought an extra packet of names but I still feel like there are many missing. I would like to be able to export the names matched, or at least select and copy them.
We've added tons of new names for the following name sets! English (US) English (Canada) English (England) Spanish (Spain) Spanish (Mexico) Spanish (Argentina) Portuguese (Portugal) Portuguese (Brazil) French Dutch (Belgium) Dutch (The Netherlands) Urdu Enjoy the app!
