We want YOU to help us decide the future of the Brainstormer!

Naming your children is a wonderful opportunity for self-exploration and creative expression. It’s also essential in defining your child’s sense of identity (Etilia Aden, Baby Name Stats).

Our vision

Baby Name Brainstorm is here to help stimulate your own creativity and provide interesting name suggestions without resort to eye-glazing, alphabetical lists.

Our advantage is three fold:

• speed (explore the name space without waiting for page reloads)
• engagement (our unique, animated graph makes name-storming all the more fun)
• visualisation (stimulates the right brain, unleashing your natural creativity)

Our early efforts have focused on word phonetics; but this is just the beginning. We’re building a powerful name-association engine to be not only fun, but insightful. You can help by telling us which of these you think you could get the most value out of.

Community Feature Building: Round 1

Please vote for which feature you would most like to see introduced into the brainstormer first.

• Favourites: bookmark your favourite names in the graph so you can list them and return to them quickly.
• Namesakes: see which notable people from history, literature and pop-culture have a particular name; follow associations among them.
• Themes: create your own designer name themes and share them with the world.
• Meanings: see the meaning and origin of names in the graph; find names which share similar meanings.
