Baby Names

Oh, you’re just deciding what kids will call him on the playground or whether someone will give his resume the time of day. No biggie. All kidding aside, picking a name is no small feat; let this app do the heavy lifting. It gives you a bevvy of options (30,000-plus, to be exact) searchable based on origin, meaning, or gender, or first letter, last letter, and even first and last letter. Geek out over graphs that show a name’s popularity as far back as 1880, view a geographic map of origins, save and rate favorites, email your top choices, and even ask the app for suggestions based on your names.

Free on iTunes and Android.
