About this application
Baby Name is an Android application for searching a collection of more than ten thousand given names for children. The collection is organised along two axes, genre and origin, so a list can be narrowed to a category before being read through, and names can be looked up directly by search rather than by scrolling.
The work it supports is browsing and shortlisting rather than record keeping: the app's material is the name collection itself, and the value of the entry depends on how well that collection covers the languages and traditions a family is interested in. Origin groupings will be more detailed for some regions than others, which is worth checking against the names being considered.
The application runs on Android; no desktop or web edition is recorded here, and this entry lists no publisher. It is distributed under GPL-3.0-or-later, so the code and the bundled collection may be examined and reused under those terms.
