New: a shared couple list. Add names, tap hearts, and discover together which names you both love.

Choosing a baby name? It is one of the most exciting decisions you will make. Shemot helps you do it calmly, together.

What is inside:

A shared couple list Send one link to your partner and you both add names to the same list, tap hearts, and comment. When a name gets a heart from both of you, you find out in a moment you will not forget.

Real meaning for every name Over 2,300 Hebrew names with carefully written meanings, the origin of each name, and the actual biblical verse where there is one. No auto-generated filler.
