A Match card becomes a Shortlist decision, not another endless list.

A decision path as personal as your story

Each step keeps the next one in context, from your first Story brief to the outside signal you may want near the end.

1

Story

Capture the heritage, style, values, and feeling you want your child's name to carry.

2

Match

Start with 10 names shaped by your Story brief, each with meaning, origin, and context.

3

Browse

Use the wider Browse set to compare nearby styles, origins, and names you may not have considered.

4

Shortlist

Add names that deserve a real conversation, then return to them as your decision set.

5

Compare

Invite your partner to review names independently and reveal only the overlap.

6

Ask

Share a focused family Ask link when outside signal would help you narrow the list.

A name app should not just make a longer list. It should help you move from possibility to a smaller, calmer decision set.

Step 05 / Compare

Choose separately, decide together

Finding a name you both love can be the hardest part. Compare gives each partner a private first choice before the shared list appears.

  • Invite your partner with a private link
  • Review names independently
  • Reveal only the names you both kept
  • Move shared keeps back to Shortlist

Built for the moments that decide the name

Rooted keeps Compare and Ask attached to the Shortlist, so every outside signal returns to the same decision set.

Step 05

Compare without pressure

Each partner reviews names privately. Shared keeps appear only when both of you choose the same name.
