Description
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.

Ratings and Reviews
Fun way to explore a huge selection of names
This is such a great, easy way to see what you and your partner like in names. I love that you can select different cultures/languages too. The only thing I wish was different is that there is no information given on the names. You swipe left or right on the name, but you can’t click on it to find out which language it’s coming from or what it means or anything. If you have more than one language chosen at one time, there is no way to tell which one the name is coming from. I keep having to Google names that it suggests. But it’s still a good starting point!
Possible extension
Fun app, really useful for introducing us to names we might not have known about/considered otherwise. An idea for a possible extension — the app is currently great for identifying names you and your partner both like, but it doesn’t help you decide between them. What we just wound up doing was taking a “long-short” list of names we both liked and generating a ranking using pairwise comparisons, which helped us narrow it down more systematically than trying to think through 25 names separately. That seems like the kind of thing that would be straightforward to implement in-app? In any case, definitely just a nice-to-have feature, not a need-to-have.
Really great but could be better
Love the app so far but my wife can’t see our matches for some reason.
Also I highly suggest a “super like” option. That would help sort the “yeah I kinda like that” from the “that’s one of my favorites’” and also (more importantly I think) give the ability to override one partner’s “eh not my favorite” with the other’s “I love it!” And allowing more conversation about that name rather than it going by the wayside because of one person’s indifference.
