User Reviews

Name Dice by Thinkamingo is highly praised for helping writers with a large, believable pool of names and an easy-to-use interface. It is seen as reliable and capable of generating many name combinations. Common drawbacks include distracting ads, insufficient name diversity, and requests for more customization like gender filtering, an optional middle name, and the ability to add or remove names.

Pros

Very useful for writers; helps with naming characters quickly and provides many name options.
Easy to use with a simple, intuitive UI.
Reliable and stable; the app has not crashed for many users.
Names feel believable and usable, not trite.
Generates thousands of name combinations and offers broad variety.

Cons

Ads are distracting or intrusive during use.
Name diversity is lacking; too many Western or celebrity-like names; users want rarer or more diverse options.
Missing customization options such as gender filtering, an optional middle name, and the ability to add/remove names or add first/last names to the list.

Recent reviews

I liked it but it was very loud. Will not recommend to people with needs to be quiet, such as sleeping kids and so on.

This helps a lot with writing but I would add two things to an update. 1. A third dice, add another dice to represent a middle name but also make this optional just in case they don’t want a middle name. 2. Gender preference, allow us to choose what gender the names generated should be. That’s really it add these 2 things and this would be an even better app.

the ads are a bit distracting but who cares. i’ve named so many characters with this app! it’s really helpful and much easier than googling baby names, lol. people with heaps of OCs can relate 😂
