Expecting? Forget lugging around a heavy stack of baby-names books: Finding a name for the new arrival is as easy as shaking an iPhone, thanks to Name That Baby! Created by Shona Killoughery-McKenney, a stay-at-home mom of two kids under five years old, Name That Baby! is a new iPhone application that lists thousands of baby names. Parents-to-be simply choose a gender and a starting letter, then give the iPhone a shake.
“I was looking through the Apple store and noticed how few iPhone applications there were for parents,” Killoughery-McKenney explained. “It occurred to me that Name That Baby! would be a fun application for expecting parents and their families and friends. With Name That Baby!, pregnant women don’t even need to buy books of baby names. Now the baby names are right on their iPhone, and they have the convenience of looking for names at the park, at the coffee shop or wherever they happen to have a free moment.”
Name That Baby! delivers a scrollable list of baby names, complete with origins and descriptions, in whatever quantity the user chooses, making a rattle sound while it sorts. Another shake produces additional names, until the perfect name is found.
While designed to be fun, Name That Baby! is packed with features. Users can search for names by gender, first letter and origin; top picks can be saved to a favorites list. Those who need a little help deciding — or who just want to share the excitement — can e-mail their favorites to friends and family. And Name That Baby! is a perfect activity for the modern baby shower. To learn more, visit http://www.doubletapapps.com.
