Created by a dad
“When my wife and I were expecting, we didn't know where to start. We'd fall for a name one day and cool on it the next — it was hard to tell which names were actually contenders. And that's before every relative chimed in with their pet names and strong opinions.
So we tried a shared spreadsheet. We tried one of those “Tinder, but for baby names” apps. But without a way to turn real preference into hard data, nothing we used ever gave us anything useful.
So I built the thing I actually wanted: a way for everyone to vote on their own and see where we genuinely agreed. Lo and behold, a favorite rose up — a name we'd liked but hadn't realized how much we liked. We named our daughter with a Baby Name Arena. I think you should too.

Everything you might ask
How does the voting work?
It's simple head-to-head comparisons. Voters see two names at a time and pick their favorite — just “which do I prefer?” Over time, clear favorites emerge from hundreds of these simple choices.
Do voters need accounts?
Nope! Just share a link. Anyone can jump in and start voting — works on phones, tablets, laptops. No downloads, no sign-ups, no friction.
How do I see the results?
Your leaderboard updates in real time as votes come in. See rankings, win rates, and voting history. Track how names move with bump charts. Export everything to CSV whenever you want.
Can I add or remove names later?
Yes! Manage your name pool anytime from the admin panel. Add new names, hide ones you've ruled out, or mark dark horses to track. New names start neutral and find their ranking as votes come in.
How do I control who votes?
Your arena link is private by default — only people you share it with can access it. See who voted and when in your admin panel. Merge duplicate voters or rename them to keep things organized.
Can I customize my arena?
Yes! Set custom titles, choose color themes, decide what stats voters see, and filter names by gender. Your arena adapts to how you want to use it.
What if we can't decide between top names?
Use the head-to-head comparison tool to see exactly how your top choices performed against each other — and which voters preferred which. Sometimes the data reveals a clear winner you didn't expect.
