rootlet: baby names

Swipe baby names, save your favorites, and match with a partner to find the ones you both love. Works fully offline — no account needed to start.

Naming a tiny human is a big deal. rootlet makes it fun.

Swipe through 1,900+ baby names — keep the ones you love, pass on the ones you don't. Every one comes with a real meaning, origin, and popularity history. Your favorites collect in one place, so a scattered list of maybes turns into a shortlist you actually feel good about.

Naming with a partner? Connect with a single code and your likes quietly sync between your two phones. When you both like the same name, it's a match — no more spreadsheets, group texts, or "wait, which one did you like?"

Prefer to browse on your own first? That works too. rootlet runs fully offline and needs no account — start swiping the moment you open it.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Swipe — a simple, satisfying way through a huge catalog of names for girls, boys, and unisex picks. • Likes — every name you've loved, plus the matches you share with your partner. • Middle names — try first-and-middle combinations against your last name, with a read on how the rhythm and syllables land. • Name DNA — see the style hiding in your choices, and a compatibility score for how your taste lines up with your partner's. • Play — dig into Hidden Gems and Rising Stars, and rank your favorites head-to-head to find your true number one. • Meaning & popularity — tap any name for its meaning and a popularity graph built from real US Social Security data (1900–2025), so you know if a name is timeless, trending, or delightfully rare. • Say it out loud — tap any name to hear it, with phonetic respellings for the ones text-to-speech usually mangles (Saoirse, Joaquin, Ximena). Works offline. • Badges — little milestones to collect as you go.

BUILT TO BE EASY

• No account needed — start swiping instantly, fully offline. • Save your names to an email and password so a new phone brings everything back — on your own, no partner needed. • Connecting with a partner syncs your likes so you can see your matches. Saving and syncing are the only parts that go online, and both are completely optional. • Delete your account and its data anytime, right from the app.

Whether you're naming solo or with someone else, rootlet turns the overwhelming into the enjoyable. Find a baby name you love.
