NAMECURVE
Every name.
No limits.
Most baby name apps advertise a big number, then hand you a few hundred names before asking for money. Undo costs extra. Your partner pays separately. Your saved list caps out. Namecurve does none of that.
Coming to Google PlayWhat you get
40,679 names
The whole dictionary, from 1880 to 2025. Not a sampler.
The whole curve
Every name rises, peaks and falls. You see all 146 years of it, not one rank number.
Unlimited undo
Twenty steps back, free. Charging for a mistake is a strange way to treat someone naming a child.
No saved-list cap
Save four hundred names if you want to.
Partner matching
Both of you swipe, then compare. Nobody pays, and nobody makes an account.
Works offline
The book is already on your phone. The app never connects to the internet.
Why the curve matters
A rank tells you where a name stands today. It does not tell you whether the name is climbing, fading, or was enormous exactly when your own generation was born.
| Name | Peak | What a rank alone hides |
|---|---|---|
| Ashley | late 1980s | Long past its peak, and falling |
| Hazel | 1900s, then again now | A revival, not a newcomer |
| Wren | right now | Still climbing |
Open any name and you also see its spelling variants side by side. Ashley, Ashleigh and Ashlee are three different stories.
Where the numbers come from
Every figure comes from the United States Social Security Administration's baby name records, 1880 to 2025, which are in the public domain.
A name appears in that data for a given year only if at least five babies were given it, so very rare names and very recent names are thin. The app says so on its own Sources screen rather than hiding it. We do not invent meanings, origins, or personality claims — if we cannot source a number, we do not show it.
Privacy
Namecurve has no servers, no account, and no ads. It never connects to the internet, so there is nothing to collect.
Your saved names and your partner's list stay on your device, and deleting the app deletes them. Read the full privacy policy.
